Homeschool Products Worth Writing About (2)

OK, first the disclaimer: I don't actually OWN this product. However, I have seen their samples and I plan to buy it really soon.

I am just so excited about Drive Thru History America! I just had to write about it.  After all, how often do you get a chance to get to know the men (and women) who helped to start this country and learn about the Christian values that guided them? And how many history curriculums give you an opportunity to actually SEE the landmarks that you are learning about?  With it's combination of biographical "on site" videos hosted by the  funny and engaging David Stott and detailed student texts, this program appears to do all that and more. On their website, you can watch a sample lesson (on Benjamin Franklin) and see samples of the student and teacher text for this lesson. (The text lesson includes a promotional code for 20% off, or you can purchase the homeschool kit from CBD for $39.99)

The only way this could be better is if it were free! Hey, according to the website, you can see these videos on Global Christian Networks and the History Channel International! Hooray!  . . . If only we had television reception . . .

We have all of them except American; Greece, Rome, Turkey and Asia Minor. I would love to get American too, I just can't justify it. We're on 4th quarter of MOH I and will do MOH II starting in November. It will be awhile before we're back to American again. Hope you get them soon and enjoy!

Well, now I actually DO own this, and it's great. We haven't actually used the curriculum, but we did watch the movies. Some of the humor is a little lame, but the info is very interesting & I even learned a lot. The kids were telling my husband about the segment on Abigail Adams and he asked, "Who was she?" The wife of John Adams and mother of John Quincy Adams. "Who were they?" Yiks! I guess we will have to watch them again with him. ;o)
