New Curriculum Review: Trail Guide to World Geography

 This also just arrived from Rainbow Resource:  https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/014495/Trail-Guide-to-World-Geography.html?

Also bought this as a supplement:  https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/000695/Ultimate-Geography-and-Timeline-Guide-4th-Ed.html?

This is a unit study curriculum for grades K-12.  I thought about using it with my 6 year-old, but after flipping through it, I think it's too much for 1st grade.  I think starting 2nd/3rd grade is probably about right.  I plan to use it with the 13 year-old and the 16 year-old together.  

The guide is broken up into 36 weeks, with the final few weeks a unit study using Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days.  There are also other mini-literature unit studies in the guide.  Each week has 4 days worth of activities in the guide, divided up by age groups: elementary, junior high and high school.

For 1 credit World Geography, I plan to do:

• Trail Guide to World Geography (high school level activities)
• The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide
• An Atlas
• Mapping the World with Art 
• Living book that takes place on or discusses each continent   

So far, this unit study looks very enjoyable and it's light enough that I can add all kinds of stuff to it to make it very well-rounded.
