Greenmama2 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Seeking resources on the Spanish (or other) Inquisition for a sensitive 8 year old please :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfOrdinary Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 We are using workbook/work texts from Amazon that are cheapo like Spanish Fun or Workbook in Everyday Spanish. Next year we are upping it to Breaking the Spanish Barrier for his iPad. It is a great program and when purchased through iBooks is less than 20 dollars for the full year. ETA: DS was eight when we started the workbooks and will be 9-10 for BtB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The only resource I have listed for the Inquisition is the book Secrets in the House of Delgado. I read it to my older son when he was 9yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor_dad Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Genocides are always hard. Could you look for something more in line with the counter-reformation... eliding the sheer, unimaginable brutality the 30 years war should be easier than dealing with the inquisition. Likewise, France and the Huegenots could be less fraught. I don't have any resources but the Spanish Inquisition is very hard to sanitize for sensitive kids. I don't mean to be discouraging... BTDT, try finding French Revolution resources for a *very* curious DS6 reading at a middle school level... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahW Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 What does she want to know about it? Is it something she will let you read to her? How much does she know about the Middle Ages? I'm asking, because the clearest explanation of what led up to, and caused, the Inquisition I've found is in a book called Those Terrible Middle Ages. You may need to elide over the promiscuity of the Cathars, but the book doesn't go into any gory stories or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
