I'm planning to use Sonlight Core 7 over 2 years to cover the renaissance, early modern, and modern periods. My oldest will be in 9th grade, and I'm not sure if this will challenge her enough. Has anybody used the Sonlight LA in Core 7? I've never used Sonlight before, but I wanted a curriculum that wouldn't be too heavy in US history for that time period (we're Canadian). Any thoughts or suggestions?
The reason I want to spread it out over two years:
1. I want to add Canadian History.
2. I want to use the SOTW Activity Guides 3 & 4 for my 3rd & 6th graders, and not try to cram two guides into one year.
3. The time periods will line up nicely with the provincial requirements for our province.
4. It will keep me on the same history cycle as Sarah CB, a friend IRL.;)
I also plan to add writing assignments (IEW) to our study of Canadian History, so there will be more LA than just the Sonlight 7.
Any ideas, advice or cautions?
