Knowledge Quest Maps Review and Giveaway!

I began looking for a map set to use in conjunction with our Story of the World studies last Fall.  After looking at several, I chose Knowledge Quest Maps, Map Trek Medieval World ebook since we are studying Volume Two, Middle Ages.  I have been very pleased with this decision!  I wanted a map set that would be a bit more advanced for my 6th grader.

I posted last week about how I am using the Story of the World Integration Guide from Knowledge Quest Maps to weave in their map set and book, What Really Happened During the Middle Ages, for my middle schooler.  If you haven’t checked out their integration guide for Story of the World, and you homeschool children of various grade levels, you should!  It has turned out to be super helpful for me.

Each Knowledge Quest Map set includes the following:

• A full color teacher's answer map that will help you tremendously.  
• An unlabeled student map for your child to color in and label. 

• Lesson Plans to help you know what to assign to each of your children at their various grade levels.  There are lesson plans included for all 32 outline maps and they are broken down into 3 levels - Level A (grades 1-4), Level B (grades 5-8), and Level C (grades 9-12).
• Grid maps and blank grids to help your kids learn to draw the land masses of the world.

Here is what is included in this Map Trek Medieval World eBook for $14.95:

• 32 Full-color teacher answer maps.
• 28 Blank outline maps for the student.
