2013 Core H IG Errors:

  • Map Error - Week 1, Day 1 map assignment. Murder for Her Majesty, locate the Foss River. The map answer key incorrectly places the river in Washington State. It is correctly located near the Ouse River in England (D2, Map 1). Will be corrected for next print run. (8.7.13)

Language Arts H is included in the Core H IG

  • This is the first year we have had Language Arts Student Activity Sheets for Core H.

Book defects, backorders, edition changes, etc.

  • Kingfisher History Encyclopedia (#GH08) 3rd edition replaced 2nd edition. Cover is different. Content is essentially the same. Pagination has not changed. (3.29.13)

Usborne Encyclopedia of World History (updated 4.3.13)

Usborne has updated this book for us under the new title Usborne Encyclopedia 12,000 Years of World History. The revision removed the first 100 pages (evolutionary content), and updates the cover. The rest of the content has not changed.
If a customer purchased the original encyclopedia with Core G last year, they do not need to purchase this revision. We have included the schedule for both the newer edition, and the older title, in the 2013 Core H schedule. Both are listed under History/Geography. The "older" edition schedule is printed in a lighter gray font.

  • Core H updated schedule
  • Internet Links The original title is an Internet Linked book. Our version is also internet linked. Since Usborne does not sell the 12,000 year title, it is not found on their quicklinks website. Customers can select the original title Usborne Encyclopedia of World History and find the links there. They will need to add "94" to the page numbers in their book. (9.19.14)

Lord Peter (9.19.13)

Page 24 is written almost entirely in French. There is no reference to the French vocabulary in our Week 2 IG notes. The author (Dorothy Sayers) apparently never provided English translations of the French dialogue she included unless forced to do so by her publishers. We have no translation available, but the book is still enjoyable even without translating this page.

Why no formal research paper in Core H?

While there is no single, formal research paper in Core H, there are a number of writing assignments that require a student to use research skills.
標eek 11 - A Well-Researched Non-Research Paper

標eek 13 - A Revolutionary Paper

標eek 15 - Sick of Writing

標eeks 25-26 ... Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Read All About It!

標eek 29 ... Number the Stars (Biblical research)

Is Classic Poetry (from Core 3) too young for Core 7?

In response to customer feedback that the book brings the Core down in grade level, I don't think I agree. While my copy is packed in storage, it has Shakespeare and other famous poets (Keats? Browning? I don't remember). When it was in Core 3, I remember one comment specifically about it being too advanced, too philosophical, too cerebral. Third grade is a bit young for "All the world's a stage."
I would spin it as "Amy, just out of college, picked this book based on the merit of the poetry, and inserted it in 3rd grade in place of the previous, more age-appropriate, fun poetry book. After reviewing dozens of newer poetry collections, she has revamped the poetry selections several times in the last decade, and believes the current poetry collections are more aptly placed."
And for the individuals who have already read the poems, it probably wouldn't kill them to read Shakespeare again. There's worse things in life.
