We used this with my older high schooler in 9th gr and absolutely loved it. We focused on S.E. Asia, that is where is interest was. We still talk about The Girl With Seven Names. It really spoke to us. We used the cookbook some but not as much as I thought we would. Looking forward to doing this again with my youngest but will do the whole curriculum this time, that is the plan anyway.
Would you like to see more of the flip-through? Would you like to see any of the books more closely? Are you using this curriculum and have some other ideas? Please lmk! I think you'll really enjoy this curriculum. I've truly never been so excited to begin a curriculum. I can't wait to share my thoughts in a few months on how we have combined the grades and how it's going. Enjoy the rest of your summer. 🌻
I've been asked where to get the map that is underneath the books. It's actually a world map shower curtain. Here's the link and please note that I'm NOT an Amazon affiliate. Just sharing the resource. a.co/d/fdnPj7I
Hi! This was so informative! I will have to check out World Watch News. Being video-based, it could be an excellent addition to our bare-bones geography this year without taking on too much more. We have 'A Long Walk To Water,' but quite a few of the books are new to me. Plus, thinking about ways to gain high school credits is something I have to start looking into. The struggle of not having gone to school here :)
I appreciate you stopping by. As I navigate high school credits, I hope to share my knowledge here. That's part of the reason why I started the channel. Till next time..........🌻
I'm using this with my 9th grader and my 11th grader who has some LD's. We are opting to use our library extensively, especially since they have audiobooks available for some of the selections. Thanks for a great overview. I'm looking forward to getting started with this curriculum! Oh, and we love World Watch!!
I appreciate the feedback on World Watch. I've never used it, heard excellent things about it and am excited to add it in this year with this wonderful curriculum. Thank you much for watching. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Thanks for sharing! I have looked at this curriculum so many times...I'm still deciding about adding it in for this year. I also plan to use for my 5th grader, obviously adapting it for her.
Stay Tuned! I'm pretty sure I'll do an update on how it's going with us combining all grades. I know it's doable, I've just got to tweak it a bit as I go along. I appreciate you stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your summer. 🌻🌻🌻
@@jcav7 Yes. It's in the video titled "Guest Hollow High School World Geography Activities/Schedule Grades 6-9. If you want to jump right to it-Skip to 2:52 & listen to the scheduling portion. LMK over there if you have more questions. I'm currently tweaking week 32! 🌻
Woah! That book list is unreal! Love it! So many good ones--family of Romanov, Norse Mythology, Long Walk to Water... Mama yes!!! I love it! My kids aren't quite that age yet but I'm keeping this in my back pocket. I would love to hear your thoughts when you're done! ❤️❤️
I'm curious what types of additional materials you used particularly Christian materials. We just started this and would love to add some more things to make more along lines of our beliefs! :)
One item I use is World Watch. It's a mix of todays news and fun trivia with a Biblical perspective- no agenda & all under 10 minutes. Have you heard of it? 🌻
Interesting that you are Jamaican. I was able To go to Jamaica in 2019. I loved it so much. We worked at a church there on Montego Bay. I have a video of the visit on my channel. Great video!!
Thank you for stopping by! So, I'm a Ja-merican- Pretty much everyone in my family was born in Jamaica except me. I was raised however with all the old-fashioned culture, morales and values. Take Care! 🌼🌺🌼
Cool! You're Ja-merican! I am from Trinidad and Tobago (Trini), and migrated here as an adult. I've been to a few other Caribbean islands but haven't been to Jamaica. Have you ever been to Jamaica?
YES! I'm a Ja-merican. Culturally, my family raised me as a Jamaican in the states. We had families from Trinidad in our Jamaican church. As a matter of fact, our dear family friends from Trinidad, made my wedding cake and also created a feast for the wedding party for the day we opened gifts. I've been to Jamaica three times that I can remember (possibly one more as a young child). So glad we could connect.
New subscriber here! I really love your content, so thank you for all you do! I wanted to pick your brain for a moment. I work from home full-time and homeschool my 8th and 9th grader. They are pretty independent and only require my attention when they need help with something, of course. I like everything I have learned about this curriculum and feel that it’s something my boys would like, as well. Do you think this curriculum is do-able in my situation?
What a lovely message to wake up to. Thank you. 😊 I’m going to say yes because you can tweak the juices out of this curriculum and they’ll still learn so much. I set up the schedule so that my 6th-9th grade kids could use it independently. “I” did choose to read/watch some things with them but other than that, they worked independently. If desired, the Jr. version, now aligns with the high school curriculum. I have content on that as well as how I actually scheduled/tweaked the items to learn. At time stamp 2:30, is where I share how I schedule. th-cam.com/video/0mWQbDf1k5A/w-d-xo.html If you are interested in the revisions-alignment of the jr. edition for your 8h grader, look for the pink thumbnail video titled Revised Jr. Guest Hollow Geography curriculum. Now, with all of this, please lmk if you have additional questions. This is why I’m here. 🌻
We are still going strong & enjoying it. I just created another video on the Jr. version that they updated. As a result of that new version, I no longer have to tweak the HS version for my youngest. We started Asia yesterday & I put one of my daughters in charge of creating the rosewater and baking item. 🌻
Would you still recommend this curriculum now that your children have gone through it? I just recently purchased it but after looking through the videos listed in the schedule and book list, I’m now hesitant because of the volume of “heavy” material that might be too depressing for a high schooler.
I would 100% still recommend it & here’s why. So I skip any and all content or books that might not work with my kids or our family. It’s customizable that way. You’ve got to think of it as a buffet. Pick & choose what you’d like from it. There is more than enough to equal a high school geography credit even by doing it this way & possibly a literature credit. I speak about this in another Guest Hollow video & I show how I pick and choose the schedule for the week and what I include. If you visit any of the Guest Hollow FB groups, you’ll hear the owners and others suggesting this method as well. They have since updated the Jr. edition to match the high school version. Sometimes, I use the jr. books instead. 🌻
@@homeschoolingthroughhighschool Perfect! Thank you for the help and encouragement. Over the summer I'll continue to read all the material and make any changes that aren't a good fit for my teen.
What are your thoughts on using this with a 9th grader and a 4th grader? I'm really trying to find something that I can do world geography with both of them yet customize to each of their levels. My 9th grader has autism/learning disabilities.

Loving to travel, I do love geography! Having been a teacher for 25+ years, I am still a curriculum nerd! This was the perfect video for me! ❤
Glad to hear. This course was soo good. 🌻

Loved geography when I was in school 100 years ago. :)
😉
This is so informative, and I am so interested about it. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!🌻
Really enjoyed this as my daughter is going into 7th grade. Thanks for the insightful content!
We are doing GH High School geography next year too! Ages 9-13 and we will adapt as well. Can’t wait! Thanks for sharing!
No way!!!! We've got to come together/compare notes on this one. I tell you..... I'm so excited for this course. Can't wait!!!!

Thanks for this wonderful flip through. Gave an amazing look into this curriculum. Thanks CJ !
I'm glad it was helpful! If you have any specific questions, I'm here to help.🌻
@@homeschoolingthroughhighschool I do have some questions lol Hey, do you have an email I can reach to you at ?
@@hetalparikh It's in the description above. Thanks for tuning in.🌻
This is so informative, Geography is sure one interesting that helps me appreciate God's creative power more.

This looks like a very comprehensive curriculum. I will have to check it out. Thinking about homeschooling. Information to give people when they ask.
I'm using this with my 9th grader and my 11th grader who has some LD's. We are opting to use our library extensively, especially since they have audiobooks available for some of the selections.
Thanks for a great overview. I'm looking forward to getting started with this curriculum!
Oh, and we love World Watch!!
I appreciate the feedback on World Watch. I've never used it, heard excellent things about it and am excited to add it in this year with this wonderful curriculum. Thank you much for watching. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Loved this!
Enjoyed this one, lots of great information!
Ohh! This looks really good. I'm going to have to check out Guest Hollow!

@@homeschoolingthroughhighschool Thank you so much for your help. You are a true blessing! Have a great and safe Labor Day weekend 🙂
Your kids are so cute! Thanks for the flip through.
Awwwwww......Thank you much & you're most welcome. 🌼
How did you like this curriculum now that the year is almost finished?
We are still going strong & enjoying it. I just created another video on the Jr. version that they updated. As a result of that new version, I no longer have to tweak the HS version for my youngest. We started Asia yesterday & I put one of my daughters in charge of creating the rosewater and baking item. 🌻
Thank you! Taking not for my 6th grader!
Have you started using World Teen yet? The books look wonderful! We're doing world geography this year, too, and I'm so excited.
I haven't but I have physical magazine samples of each grade level. I plan on having the magazine as well as tuning in to the news channel.
Would you still recommend this curriculum now that your children have gone through it? I just recently purchased it but after looking through the videos listed in the schedule and book list, I’m now hesitant because of the volume of “heavy” material that might be too depressing for a high schooler.

This looks amazing, Did you say it is considered christian? This looks like something my kids would love!
So they are a Christian company however their curriculum is neutral. They do weave in lots of Christian content and books etc.
