Good overview
Review by
AJO
I recently purchased this text and have been flipping through it. It is a good overview of world history with plenty of colored illustrations. It does not go very much in depth, but let's face it: if you want an in-depth world history, you will need several volumes and multiple years to get through it. If you just want an overview that you can complete in one year, this is a solid option. The reading lessons are fairly brief, so great for students who don't like to read much or just aren't that into history. I think the author did a fine job of including the major aspects and people in world history and I think the reading level is appropriate for high school. Once in a while there are text boxes with quotes from different people and these can be a little hard to understand, but that is to be expected with historical writings. Note that I am only reviewing the textbook, not the So Noted book. The workbook appears to be fairly simple to complete.
I have read many reviews for both this text and the author's American History text. It seems that many have been disappointed at the American History book because there are a a handful of pages where the text seems to take a modern social justice slant (not anything that a discussion with your child can't handle). I just want to say that I have seen none of that in this World History Text. Most of the text is factual narration. Occasionally, the author interjects the narrative with a Christian worldview note (really only a handful of times in the entire book), and it is always consistent with Scripture.

Highly Recommend!
Review by
Heather
My 10th grader is doing Stobaugh’s World History (MB) and I am continually impressed with how the course points to God and utilizes critical thinking. I’ve seen such growth in my student and he also really enjoys the course. It’s also been a bonus that as our church is going through the book of Genesis, Henry Morris’ commentary is repeatedly quoted!

Solid history course
Review by
Marissa
My 10th grader is taking this course right now, she is a little more than half way done. She thinks the course is a little dry, but she has learned a lot. She especially enjoyed learning about the middle ages. She said the Bible studies are very good and she's really enjoyed those. She would recommend this course.

Horrible
Review by
Haley
This curriculum is truly horrible. I can't imagine that the parents giving it five star reviews are actually reading the lessons or involved in teaching it at all. I teach this with my son every day and we are on chapter 15. The history taught is such an extremely scant overview with zero depth or detail, while feeling really disjointed and out of order, that I feel like nearly nothing has been learned. The language used seems to have been written with the sole purpose of being difficult to comprehend. The worksheets are ridiculously difficult and over half the answers are not even in the reading or the extra videos I purchased. Or the questions have been purposely worded in a way to trick the student. History is my son's favorite subject and something I love as well. This curriculum has sucked all the joy and wonder out of it. I wish I had gone with a different curriculum and hadn't wasted so much money and time on this. We usually adore MasterBooks, but this just isn't it.

God's World History
Review by
Lori
I love the fact that this history book starts out at the beginning of the world. I mean, it really is WORLD HISTORY, isn't it? Showing all the Biblical history in this course was amazing, and I'm truly hoping that my daughter will take this with her all her life. Thank you for showing all of the historical facts and integrating God with it.

Incomplete
Review by
A Gomez
While lessons are engaging, the lessons are not enough to give students the material required to answer the questions. The curriculum writer mentions in a video that she used other material to compose this curriculum. If this is indeed the case, then it should be listed added or at least suggested reading material at the end of every chapter so that the student knows where to look and research. I am not a fan of my student feeling the need to google for answers because she doesn’t have what she needs. The teacher guide is not a guide at all. It has only the semester plan for assignments and the worksheets and answer key. I thought that perhaps the video series might be the answer, but it is listed as supplemental, not required, and doesn’t appear to have all that’s needed to answer the questions. I’m now torn because my daughters have both been disheartened and absolutely delayed due to their frustration and lack of independence to complete their assignments. As a working homeschool mama with very capable teens, this is not the right fit for our family at all, and very much requires my direct involvement in helping to find vetted material they can search for answers - and if it is based on more current events, it makes it even more difficult to find. Critical thinking questions are great at times, but material is lacking to equip them to answer them. Bought this along with American History, and now I’m regretting the advance purchases.

Very dry

This was very dry, and what was taught on was not very in depth; my kids did not enjoy it. Teacher guide did not go well with it either.

Wonderful High School World History Books
Review by
Kathleen C
Student Book
This is a great high school-level World History course. My son and I both liked the way it is written. Every lesson is engaging and thought-provoking. I especially like the start of each chapter. You are given a chapter overview and a list of things the reader should be able to discuss, analyze & reflect on by the end of the chapter. I also like the highlighted boxes which pull out key vocabulary or important facts. The use of original book excerpts, speeches, passages, and quotes was a great addition. There are beautiful colorful pictures in this book—they help to bring each topic to life. More than anything, I feel that this course has prepared my son to be able to understand and comfortably discuss the history of our world. *This book uses the same format as the American History student book which was nice to see.
Teacher Guide:
Includes 36 weekly schedules, Activity Sheets for each chapter, Answer Keys for activity sheets and reviews, a comparative worldview chart, and a detailed World History Timeline and
We like the variety in the activity sheets between True/False, Multiple Choice, Matching, Short Answers, and essay
This course is written for a 10-12th-grade child to do independently. There are thorough directions that guide them through each lesson.

Great World History Course
Review by
Becky V.
The World History course is an excellent history course for your upper high-school student (10th-12th grade). It is a one-year course (36 weeks) that will earn your student 1 credit. Time investment is about 30-45 minutes per day, five days a week.
This course covers world history with a Christian worldview starting at Creation and following through into the early 21st century. The student text is split into 36 chapters, and each chapter is split into the daily corresponding lesson. The text is just beautifully put together, easy to read, written for easy understanding, and the pictures and graphics are bright and vivid. Each chapter gives an overview, objectives, and key people and places.
History can be a hard subject to study, but the author has written this text with an approach of “an unfolding of God’s plan for the world,” and it really is just an excellent and fascinating course to go through!
The Teacher Guide is direct and to the point. It easily guides you to lead your student through this amazing course. This course is developed for the student to complete independently, other than parent/teacher evaluation of assignments and exams.
The Teacher Guide includes everything needed to complete this course successfully. It includes a suggested weekly schedule, as well as all of the daily worksheets, worldview assignments (day 5 of each week), and the four quarterly exams. Answer keys are included in the back of the Teacher Guide for easy evaluation.
All assignments are appropriate for the grade level this course is meant for. They are varied in activity each day and check for understanding of the text.

Great World History course!
Review by
Sara
I cannot say enough! First assignment right off the bat goes over how your student will be reading through Genesis and its commentary during the course to lay a biblical foundation for your child. Day 5’s assignment is to read scripture and commentary and take notes. Another important skill I think this course develops within your child as they progress.The course text book is great, full of color, chapter overviews and what information your child should have been able to glean from each chapter for discussions. Honestly, I can grab any “history book” and teach my child the facts of the world, but to teach them to see things from the lens of our Creator and the gospel- that makes this course SUCH a winner. Your child will not only be learning word history, but they will gain a deeper understanding of Genesis, the beginning of time and most importantly, our Creator.
