    Also, for future reference, Simply Charlotte Mason has a visits to series for geography and I think these two would pair perfectly!!!

      Good to know! Just curious - is that series written specifically for high schoolers?

      Awesome! I can't wait to dig in. Do you think you'll be adding more map work or are you happy with the content? I guess I won't figure that out for sure until we start using it. On the surface, it didn't seem to have the typical memorization of country & capital location.

      Is it too advanced for 8th grade?

      Unless your state homeschool law specifies which course needs to be taken in which grade, you could certainly do them in any order in high school. I figured it was good to learn world geography in 9th before diving into world history later in high school. Although, we personally do US history in 10th and then sometimes dual enrollment world history for 11th or 12th. My 9th grader used the online geography quizzes from www.seterra.com to learn/review maps. As far as another resource for labeling maps, I haven't come across one to recommend. You could always print off an outline map online of the continent you're studying and then also create a list of the physical features and cities you'd like your student to label on the map. Maybe someone else will be able to jump in with a mapping resource recommendation! This is a great question though, so I'll be on the lookout and definitely do a review post if I find a great resource for mapping.

    Curious as to how you ended up liking the geography course

      Great question! It's the best I've found so far for high school geography, and it definitely covers the big picture of culture, religion, history, etc, and how all that is related to geography. However, it's still missing (in my opinion) a great physical geography component - something where the students are marking up maps and being quizzed on physical features, countries, capitals, etc. Yes, I know I could have added that separately, but I didn't (it was a hard year personally with extended family illness + care) except for occasional online quizzing on www.seterra.com and this particular teen of mine that's taking it this year is pretty solid with his country names + locations. I felt like I didn't like Notgrass Geography as much as I had liked their World History + American History courses for high school. I probably should go back and add to my original review! Thanks for the question.

    If I used this in ninth grade with all the literature books and I added in extra mapping, projects or presentations, maybe some documentaries, cooking etc do you think that could be considered an honors geography course? (We will still be doing EIW for comp and lit. In conjunction with this)

      I suppose that could work. It probably depends on your student's future goals. Would a college accept something labeled as an honors class by a homeschool parent? What would they want to see to provide documentation that it should be counted as an honors-level course? And does your state have requirements regarding documenting those for homeschool? Those are just some of my thoughts.
