Hello,
I just wondered if there were any non-Americans using TOG?

- alot of the Years, 2, 3 & 4 have mainly American history tied into them - how do people work around these?

Kind regards
Sherid

Hi,

I am Polish and I used Year 3 LG and UG ( I am in Unit 4 now). There was a lot of non-American history in Year 3. In Unit 1 half of the themes were around Europe and South America. In Unit 2 about 3 weeks on Victorian England, including Australia. In Unit 3 there was 2 weeks on East Asia and then Crimean War. Unit 4 has 3 weeks on Africa. Also, there were weeks on inventions and industrial development, which was inter-cultural (famous people of Western culture).

We did not do all of the worldview/church history, but a lot of these were missionary stories from around the world.

I did a lot of Polish history last summer and I am trying to implement it whenever we study similar times, cultures or subject that is related.

If I would have older kids, they would have slightly different accents in their week's topics, sometimes concentrated more on the US history, but sometimes the opposite.

Year 4 looks also quite promising for us since the biggest events (WWI, WWII, Communism) happened in Europe, which is where I am from.

We are Polish - American family, we live in the USA, so for me it was just right balance of US/World history. If I would live outside of the USA, especially in Poland, I would have to re-think using TOG, and I am not saying it in a negative sense, just I would have to see if it would fit our needs.

You can also easily add your own studies almost between any weeks if you wish, and incorporate them withing TOG.

Hi ladies,
We also have a forum, several sections down, that is for TOG users in other countries.

Blessings,
