I will be teaching social studies next year (so excited!). I will be teaching 7th grade American History - discovery through Industrial Revolution. This is the first year for this in 7th grade, because it's always been the 8th grade curriculum. I taught one section of American History each year when I taught 8th grade, but not History Alive. The current 8th grade teacher loves the curriculum. Anybody have any comments? Karen
Karen T. I teach 7th grade Social Studies and I have used a few lessons from History Alive. I love it. I wish I had the full teaching kit and could use it more. I've found some great lessons. My favorite lessons include those that have the kids complete simulations. It really gets them involved in the history. I would definitely recommend it. :)

mrsd We do have the full curriculum, except that the district isn't buying the student notebooks. We also only have textbooks for the classroom, not for individual students. Luckily, each student gets an ID number for full access to the website. I know the 8th grade social studies teacher loves this. Thanks for the positive response. Karen

I'm not a fan of textbooks or packaged curriculum but I've been tutoring a kid this year whose district uses History Alive and I like it. It's the only textbook I've ever seen that's written concisely and is logically organized. Most textbooks use a very formal and stilted kind of writing that puts kids to sleep. ...See More
