Oak Knoll Mom Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 On page 348 (3rd edition), there is a list of people/topics. The text says to go to the library and find middle grade books on these people/topics. Then on pp 368-371, there is a list of books, listed in chronological order, of specific books for the child to read. How do these two lists mesh together? I'm not sure I'm thinking through this correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I believe the first list is more of a non-fiction list. The second is fiction. I use the fiction list for reading and the non-fiction list for history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the fiction list for reading and the non-fiction list for history Hmm... I don't think that's true with these two lists. For example, it has African folktales on the first list, and Tales from Africa by Kathleen Arnott on the second. The first list is generic and the second list is specific.

Oak Knoll Mom Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Let me go find my book. BRB Thanks! I'm not usually this dense. :D I pride myself on being able to figure things out. I think I'm on brain overload trying to get everything ready for school to start back in two weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The second list is SWB's suggested titles for the first list. Often time I substitute something from the specific list because I can not find the suggested title or the suggested title is too costly.

Mrs Mungo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The list on 348 is a list of topics and people, it's a general sort of list of things to study. The list on 368, I think that's your basic reading list. So, the first list just says "myths of ancient Egypt," but the reading list gives the specific suggestion of reading "Tales of Ancient Egypt" by Roger Green.

Oak Knoll Mom Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Thanks ladies. That's what I was thinking, but like I said earlier, my head is spinning. I just needed some validation that I was looking at it correctly. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
