The American Journey, Student Edition ReviewMy wife and I homeschool our three kids, and we have up to this point used programs like Sonlight and Abeka - both very good programs. However, we've recently decided to migrate to using more traditional textbooks for our older children. The Glencoe American Journey is a very high quality text, filled with photographs, color illustrations, and is very expansive in scope, covering from pre-discovery to post Civil War in great detail. It is targeted to grades 6-8 or 7-9, with all three years in one volume.
All of the Glencoe books are organized in a very similar manner, with lessons outlined, small sidebar discussions of relevant topics, and end of week questions. Teacher's editions and supplement material are readily available from the publisher. Additional online assignments and questions are also accessible.
This is our first year of using the product, but from what I can see so far, it is outstanding. I only wish I had used this book when I was in Middle School.
