In an earlier post, I mentioned that we would be getting copies of Steve Wilkins' audio series, America: First 350 Years. Well,
it arrived this week and we are ready to sell it. This series
sold in cassette format for $75, but now is available in MP3 format for
$25. Steve has recommended this series for several years and it
is now very affordable. The MP3 includes all the audio AND the
notebook. You print out what you need in the notebook-what a deal!
For those of you wondering what I am talking about, here's a synopsis of the series.
Steve wanted this for a birthday gift last year. He immediately
listened to all 16 tapes, not just once but twice. After that, he
loaned them to a friend, who purchased his own copy for his family to
hear. Steve Wilkins gives a refreshing view of American history
from explorers through the War Between the States. If you are
looking for a curriculum for your high schooler to use for American
history, this is IT! At the end of the notebook are questions
sheets for each lecture, as well as a bibliography from which you can
assign independent reading and writing assignments
This study consists of 32 lectures (16 hours). The lectures cover the
season from the discovery period through the Reconstruction. The
series come with a 200 page notebook which contains lecture notes, an
index, study guide, and a comprehensive bibliography.
Steve used this extensively for his talk "Un-Revisionist History" and many homeschoolers have used this for high school American History.
If you have questions about it, please let me know.
