Hi. I am new here. I found HOD this spring at our annual HS conference and just received my teacher's guide in the mail. I am very excited to start this fall, and will spend the summer gathering supplies and books I will need.

I am planning on using PHFHG for my 4th and 5th grader and using the extension for my 7th grader. I see that the extension has him reading out of "Usborne Internet-Linked Ancient World Encyclopedia." I have the "Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopeida of World History," which covers all history. Does anyone know if the one I have would contain the same material as the Ancient Encyclopedia? My impression when I bought it a few years ago was that it had the other ones all combined. If it does contain all of the Ancient History material, does anyone know how I could figure out what pages DS should read, since the page numbers would not line up with the guide? I hate to buy another encyclopedia with the same information just to get the page numbers right.

Thanks,
Michele

Hi!
I have both books (didn't know the bigger one was a collection when I bought it). But yes Ancient World is in the large World History book. I don't have my PHFHG guide yet so I can't tell you specific page numbers that it uses, but this might help:

page 4 of the Ancient World book starts at page 108 in the World History book (The First Farmers) You could just pencil in a number 4 over the page number 108 and a 5 over 109, etc. and kind of renumber your book that way so you would know what pages to read.

HTH!

Thank you so much!

Michele
