Problem with American Pioneers and Patriots??

Post by raceNzanesmom » Wed Aug 17, 2011 10:09 am

We started Beyond on Monday. Lovin' it!! However, I'm having a problem with my copy APaP lining up with the guide. I have a 1995 edition (came with the used set I bought). For example, today's reading was pgs 6-8, then the comment is about the storm after they pass the Canary Islands. The activity is lard on the hand and cold water. However, in my edition pgs 6-8 is about them going on the ship and unpacking. The storm doesn't happen until ch 2, pgs 12-16.

So, does my copy not line up? Or, are the activities ahead of the readings? Or, what?

I did see an update on the Beyond page, but not for APaP.

I can adjust this copy if needed, just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Thanks for any insight!

Well I have not had it hit with this particular book but with others where I had the wrong issue I found I could line it up well by topic. If you look at the "Key Idea" you usually are able to do that quite well. See if maybe that does not work for you and hope someone that knows about this particular book replies to you as well. :D

That's what I did today. I just wasn't sure if my copy was off, or Carrie had it scheduled that way. Tho I figured it was my copy.

I had the same problem, I did also buy a used copy of the guide and the American Pioneers and Patriots came with it... so I figured those would have been the same editions sold at the same time? It's only off by a couple of pages. The activity with building a dike, like the dikes in Holland, was not on the day we read about the dikes so we went back and read that again when we did that activity. (This was actually in Stories of the Pilgrims, that's the one I had trouble with them being in synch). I guess it keeps us on our toes, right?

Oh my Stories of the Pilgrims is in fact a newer edition than the one that came with my used guide and set. Maybe I should go back and use the older one...

Stories of the Pilgrims has an updated schedule on the Beyond page, jsyk.

I'm guessing since my edition is older than the guide, Carrie used the current edition when she wrote the guide. As long as I know I'm not suppose to be "off" I'll just read what seems to line up.

Thanks for all the help!
