Kidlit Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Can anyone point me in the direction of a thread or website in which someone has detailed favorite resources (books) to use with SOTW1? I'm trying to get a handle on next year, and I'd like to have some of the groundwork done for me! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in WA Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Buy the Activity Guide - lots and lots of book lists for each chapter. Also, WTM has a list of books for each year of the 4-year history cycle. You can generally follow that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Thanks! I guess I wasn't too clear in my post. I was hoping to find someone's list of favorites, since I'm pretty sure we can't do it all. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2koh Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 :bigear:. We are also about to begin SOTW 1. I would love to know which ones were big hits! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) I can tell you what DS liked if that will help. I don't remember which specific chapter they applied to but: Black Ships Before Troy by Sutcliff Alexander the Great by Langley Esther's Story by Wolkstein The Flying Horse: The story of Pegasus by Mason (IR) King Midas and the Golden Touch by Craft Dragon Prince by Yep The Empty Pot by Demi (IR) The Great Wall by Mann (and most of her other books too... we just read this one today) The Buddha: the story of Siddhartha by Grubin Tutankhamen's Gift by Sabuda The You Wouldn't Want to Be Series... wherever they applied Any of the DK series are nice for reference and visuals ... as are the Usborne books I'm sure there were more he liked but those I know he enjoyed. I forgot : Rimonah and the Flashing Sword Temple Cat Exodus by Wildsmith Minotaur and the Hero Mr Semolina-Semolinus Edited May 4, 2010 by m0mmaBuck adding items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovedtodeath Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Here is mine: http://astore.amazon.com/classicexplor-20 It is very heavy on high interest, visually stimulating fare, with some chosen to appeal to Kindergarteners. Here are a some that I found (and you can also click on the tags at the bottom of the post to find more): http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forum...an#post1129586 http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forum...een#post996692 Ancients: What are your Top 5 Grammar Stage & Top 5 Logic Stage books? http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forum...+2nd+3rd+grade Edited May 5, 2010 by Lovedtodeath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Now that we are done I will see if I can pare it down to what I consider essential or favorites: Either Boy of the Painted Cave, First Painter, or the young earth resource Life in the Great Ice Age You Wouldn't Want to Be a Sumerian Slave Usborne Beginners Egyptians Tut's Mummy: Lost and Found Mufaro's Beautiful daughters (African) Adventures in Ancient China and Confucius: Chinese Philosopher The Trojan Horse: How the Greeks Won the War The Adventures of Odysseus The Great Alexander the Great by Joe Lasker The Story of Rome Cleopatra by Diane Stanley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks so very much, everyone! I'm printing out these lists to use as a reference as I begin the task of locating these books! Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Another good idea is to go through your library's online catalog and see which books they have available for each topic. My large and well stocked library sometimes only has one or two of the AG's suggestions, so my choice is easy. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
