Simply Charlotte Mason History series

Geography is integrated throughout the curriculum with dedicated mapwork and cultural studies components.

Uses Uncle Josh's Outline Maps, Visits to... geography courses with map work and photos, Then and Now Bible Maps, and incorporates geography through historical study

The curriculum builds chronological knowledge systematically through six sequential courses covering major historical periods from ancient times to modern day.

Six year-long courses progress chronologically: Genesis-Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt (Creation-332 B.C.), Joshua-Malachi & Ancient Greece (1856 B.C.-146 B.C.), Matthew-Acts & Ancient Rome (753 B.C.-A.D. 476), Middle Ages through Reformation (394-1550), Early Modern (1550-1850), and Modern Times (1850-2012)

The curriculum relies primarily on Charlotte Mason methods rather than direct instruction, using narration and living books instead.

Uses 'Charlotte Mason's methods—narration, living books, and timeline activities' with oral narration responses rather than explicit instruction

The curriculum incorporates some primary source materials but relies more heavily on living books and secondary narratives.

Uses resources like 'Visits to Africa notebook' with photos and traveler's accounts, but emphasis is on living books like biographies and historical narratives rather than original documents

The curriculum provides teacher guides with lesson plans but limited pedagogical support or content background.

Books are primarily teacher guides with charts, daily plans, and specific assignments, but reviewer notes that 'more extensive descriptions that include reading level and number of pages would be very helpful'

The curriculum includes some retrieval practice through term-end exams and timeline activities but limited systematic review.

Each term concludes with exam questions designed to elicit oral narration responses, and timeline activities for Book of Centuries are used

Explicit vocabulary instruction is not evident in the curriculum description.

No mention of specific vocabulary instruction methods or materials in the review
