New Student Guide for Cores 100 - 530

  • Will be offered beginning April 1
  • Customers can buy a SET (Parent Guide + Student Guide) as item #100-05, 200-05, 300-05, 400-05, 530-05
    • Price for both = $124.98 (Will get 10% discount in the Core)
  • Customers can buy a Parent Guide separately. This will be the same item # as our existing IGs ... 100-01, 200-01, 300-01, 400-01, 530-01
    • Parent Guide will include all the information, schedule, tools, appendices, Study Guides WITH answers - just like our current IG
    • Parent Guide will have all map points printed on the maps
    • Parent Guide price = $89.99
  • Customers can buy a Student Guide separately. This will be item #100-02, 200-02, 300-02, 400-02, 530-02
    • Student Guide will include most of the pieces as the Parent Guide ... Schedule, appendices, Study Guides WITHOUT answers - so parents can pass this to the student to use independently. Maps will be included WITHOUT the map points ... so we will no longer list the Markable Map as a Required Resource for high school.
    • The Student Guide is NOT reproducible.
    • Student Guide price = $34.99
  • Core packages will include BOTH the Parent and Student Guides
  • Repurchase Discount applies ONLY to the Parent Guide. We encourage customers to buy a Student Guide for each of their students (same year or later years), similar to a workbook, so we won't discount the Student Guide.

Events & Trends, understanding the big picture

There is a "Prime Events and Trends" in the notes for The Visual History of the Modern World in the History Study Guide section of your Instructor's Guide. That will give you a point of reference for the decade summaries.

In regards to seeing the big picture, it is a little more challenging at the beginning of the year to understand how events connected. What you might do is have your daughter set up a chart or spreadsheet showing trends or significant events across the decades in various themes: political, science, entertainment, etc. For example, the invention of radio led to television which changed how people spent their leisure time. You might also get some good input from other families who are using Core 300 this year on our Upper Level Cores forum at: https://www.sonlight-forums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=79.


Labor's Untold Story 07.13.10

There are a number of pages for this title not scheduled in our guide. This is intentional, as the book is used to line up roughly with the timeline in the guide, so pages that do not line up with the timeline of Core 300 are not scheduled.
