AHL - Questions about books

[cbollin]

In the AHL package, there are a few books I am not sure about:
"Literature Supplement" - can someone please tell me what this is about?
"Daniel Teen Inductive Bible Study" ? I could not find any information about this book.
"Exploring World History" (Notgrass). I see on the Notgrass site that this is a 3 book set ... do all three books come with the AHL package?

Literature Supplement – those are the questions and literature analysis guides for some of the books that are used. They are condensed versions of some other publisher’s literature guides (SMARR). MFW didn’t want to use all of the SMARR guides for each book. Instead of the manuals just saying do this question, omit this one…. MFW worked with the smarr publishers to reprint the guides for MFW’s lesson plans. So the result is the Literature Supplement.

Daniel Book:
Uh… I don’t know enough. But here’s a link to a recent past discussion, that might have some help. Bret Welshymer’s answer has a lot of information on it. You might want to talk to him when you call the MFW office. He will have some extra insights for you about starting the high school program with MFW "late" in the game as you said. But he can tell all of that on the phone.

Notgrass: I don’t know. This is what is shown on the high school page
Exploring World History (Notgrass)
Exploring World History Quiz and Exam book
Not sure if that helps or not.

Our family is coming back to MFW after a year away. We're pretty excited about getting started. My older dd will be doing AH&L this year. I have been looking over the lesson plans and I'm seeing the two books, World History Map Activities and Ran McNally Historical Atlas of the World, rarely listed. How often are these two books really used?

It's going to be an interesting year. This will be the first year my dd's will be in two totally separate curriculums. Thanks for your help!

The map activities book and atlas are used for two years. They do a handful of the maps in AHL, then do more of them in WHL. The atlas would be used again as the next in line goes through high school, only the activities book is consumable.

I felt the map activities were a real asset to my dd's year. They are reading about that area of the world all year, and doing a few maps of the area was good. It helped them remember where those things took place and stayed with them longer because they spent time working on the map, not just looking at one for a moment and moving on. FWIW, I think it is worth the investment.

Thank you for your advice. We did SL Core 7 last year and map work was the first to go when we ran out of time. Since the books are used both years, that does make a difference. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the help.
