Our Country in Story, Pathway to the Atlantic -- Supplement Packet (pdf)

Basically I just found and copied in the poems mentioned in the list (gif on right) and added some information from a couple of online sources.

Here are the simple links in case you are interested and don't want to download the complete text.

Activities:

· Read about The Skeleton in Armor

· Read the poem by Longfellow, and some other Norse poems

· The Norsemen

I wrote a study guide for The Blood Red Crescent.

Logic Review for Lessons 1-6

Logic Review List 1 (PDF)

Latin Study Sheet 1-B

Latin Review 1b (pdf)

An adjective exercise and review.

Renaissance Wrap-Up

I made a simple study guide for All Ye Lands chapter 9 about the Renaissance. It is sort of the spine of what we are studying for history. Renaissance (PDF).

I forgot to include the link to Galileo's letter, which is very good. It is here: Galileo's Letter to the Grand Duchess.

Since we are basically finishing this unit already, hopefully the reading and study guide will be sort of a review and tie-together. I don't plan to make him walk through every question, but I find it easier to interact with him in the narrations /extend the lesson if I've done a bit of background work.

In future I think I'll do the guide BEFORE I start the unit. That way it will be a bit more integrated, and I can add things as I go.

Study Guide 1 -- Latin

A partial review for Unit 1 in Latin is Fun.

I will probably make up sentences with him (the only verbs so far are: est/sunt and habet/habent)

There are a bunch of adjectives in the book but I didn't write these out this time. Next time I guess.

After he studies this I will have him do a short quiz.
