FrogMom5 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Ds wants to study the ancient Americas (Aztecs, Toltecs, etc.) as a long unit for history. I don't know where to begin looking for appropriate books or supplies. Do any of you have suggestions? Ds is in 9th grade, a good reader and handles mature material well. He is very sensitive though. I have found him crying on a few occassions after reading about some grave injustice or cruelty. I know it's a long-shot but, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Melissa B Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 My dd is going to use the TC course - Conquest of the Americas in 9th grade. http://www.teach12.com/ttcx/coursedesclong2.aspx?cid=888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in TX Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm planning to use this book on the Aztec culture when we do Ancients in high school. Maybe you could use the Search Inside feature to decide how it looks for your ds. http://www.amazon.com/Aztecs-Interpretation-Canto-Inga-Clendinnen/dp/0521485851/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281544209&sr=1-1 Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
