Whereneverever Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I know that there's a ton of stuff to go along with the Greek Myths book. Anything to go along with the Norse myths? Websites, workbooks, study guides... I'm open to anything. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I don't know of any extra materials but you might like to know that it is used for the Norse specialty section on the National Mythology Exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Not exactly an extra, but Michael Chabon's introduction for the newer edition is really good grown-up reading. But, I'm a bit in love with Michael Chabon. He could introduce the phone book and I would be like... swoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is helpful, but quite a ways off. :001_smile: Still hoping someone has something so I don't need to make my own!:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think Memoria Press has a guide to go with one of the myths? or maybe Greenleaf Press? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malenki Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 We read "Odd and the Frost Giants" by Neil Gaiman to our son this last year when we did the Norse Myths. He was 9.5 however but it we loved it. He's read it twice on his own since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Not exactly an extra, but Michael Chabon's introduction for the newer edition is really good grown-up reading. But, I'm a bit in love with Michael Chabon. He could introduce the phone book and I would be like... swoon.DD the Elder and I had both read Summerland independently, but neither of us anticipated much more we would find, savoring, while reading it aloud. *sigh* It's now my all-time-favourite children's book, nudging past The Wind in the Willows by a hair. ETA: A thorough grounding in Norse mythology greatly enhances the read, though Summerland is probably best put off for a a couple years past 7.

Karen in CO Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Sea of Trolls is an excellent book incorporating Norse Mythology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbeyej Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 That is helpful, but quite a ways off. :001_smile: Actually, National Mythology Exam starts at 3rd grade. And they have some helpful supplementary teaching materials you can order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
