Thanks for sharing the flip through and your plans for the upcoming year!!! Sounds like it's going to be a fun year. I relate when you said "we're probably going to have to cut somethings out" lol. We are going to be starting early American history this year and the Indigenous people. Your videos have given me a lot of good ideas.
I am so glad! Your year sounds like it will be fun, too! :)
This was such a helpful video. Thank you!
You're welcome! :)
Some how i missed this video. I've found it just in time
I'm glad you found it!
I keep looking at both history quest and the curiosity chronicles and I am so torn between the two and completely confused as to which one to choose for the upcoming year. We are doing the History quest early times and are taking way too much time than I initially intended to, in every civilization. Although we do really like HQ and are about to finish the early times, I keep looking at CC for the medieval times. I know the format of both the books are completely different and told in different ways, but I like how both are Secular plus has world view on history. The take of both the books are so different activities wise that I am not able to decide which one to choose for the next year? as you have used both the books, I thought you might help me in deciding or give your honest opinions on how you think one curriculum might be better in what ways than the other. I like the timeline aspect of CC and think my kids will be able to see things with a broader perspective, but the chapters in the CC are so short, I feel like would they really sink in, if not told in a story format to introduce the topic (which is where I like the HQ curriculum). Do u think it might be crazy or overly ambitious to combine CC and HQ for upcoming years? As I have seen you combining CC and SOTW for a year, wanted to ask if you feel HQ and CC together is possible?
I totally understand your conundrum! The good thing is that they are both great currriculums, so you can't really go wrong, you just need to figure out what is best for you and your family. I didn't think I would like the dialougue format of CC after the story format of History Quest, but it turns out that we do like it. One of the things that I like about it is that it is shorter, as HQ was a lot of reading for me, which got harder to do with the little ones that I have. I like to add quite a bit to any history curriculum we do, so we are also moving much slower than I intended. (I originally wanted to go through all of world history 3 times with each kid, but now am hoping to squeeze in 2...).
You could definitely combine them, but it would be a lot for you so it depends on your time and interest. If you want to do that, take a look at the tables of contents to see how they would match together. I am pretty sure both curriculums have samples on their websites, so I would look at those yourself, and maybe even try it out with your kids to see if you like it. I hope that is helpful! Good luck!
