[Secular MA Copywork for Grammar Stage?]

Let me see if I can explain this clearly:

 

We're covering the Middle Ages this year, and I think we'll get through the Tudors by next summer.

 

For the purposes of this post, I'm differentiating between copywork and narration. We're doing copywork so my son can learn the flow of beautiful language and practice his writing skills, and I prefer that it be primary source material whenever possible, so that he can connect with the feel of the time period we're studying. We've got some passages that reflect our family's religious beliefs already, but we're not Christian, so I'd prefer that any Biblical passages or excerpts from religious poetry be descriptive rather than proselytizing in nature.

 

I found this page on Wikipedia, but haven't gotten to chase down all these resources yet. I wondered if anyone else had been in this position, and whether you had some passages you particularly liked. Would you mind posting them, if so?

 

Thanks so much.

[Who here has (and uses) the reusuable grocery store shopping bags?]

I even bought a foldable one from Target that I stick in my purse and carry with me. I use it all over town.

 

I love that one! I use it for quick local errands.

 

Most of mine are Trader Joe's canvas bags. They shrank them a couple of years ago, but mine are older and really roomy. They've held up well. The recycled fabric everyone's using now does tend to rip. I mostly use those for produce. The old standby string bags will also hold a remarkable amount.

 

I don't know if someone mentioned this already, but many stores now give you a five or ten cent bag credit for each bag you bring.
