TRISMS anyone.. any info?

I have been seriously looking into this for high school and it would be so helpful to find anyone who has used it.
Thanks guys (I mean ladies )

 

No, don't use it :mrgreen:

 

Thanks NELLIE :lol:

 

Never heard of it. What is it?

 

TRISIMS






:roll:

 

It is sort of like TOG --you can incorporate several subjects from history: art, architecture, music, logic.. and some others. Those would be for 1/2 credits and they also use IEW for a full credit.

 

The American Revolution is not covered in it!

 

How can you have a history program that does not cover from 1750-1850 !!!!!!!

:mrgreen:

 

:roll:Nellie

 

OK...

There are 5 levels:

Discovering the Ancient World
Expansion of Civilization
Rise of Nations
Age of Revolution
Final book to be announced

This program can be as light or meaty as you wish. It is research-based so you will need resources for them; ie the library. If you are planning on using this through HS then I would not skip any books and prob start in the 7/8th grade. As each book will last for a full 1 year.

It is also pretty pricey at $195.00.

There are extras you can choose not to purchase and use the library for; books, magazines, videos, etc

(kinda reminded me of MOH or SOTW, where 'if you wish' you can go into further depth of study)

:roll:

 

Your Welcome :mrgreen:


(edited to say...before anyone gets all bugeyed we are friends)

 

Is that $195 for each level? Is this just for history, or does it include other subjects as well?

 

That amount is for one course. One level.

 

OUCH!

Do you get all that for $195?

 

That is my understanding, I was hoping someone on here had some experience with it.

 

Sorry I don't have experience with it and got confused! If you have those choices, then it doesn't seem too expensive to me! Looks like some decent possibilities.

 

That is what I am hoping. We'll see. I have a year to work it all out--but that year is coming up too fast!!

 

never heard of it but if you get all that, that is great but I don't think so.
