Tranquility7 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 DS *loves* the SOTW CDs and has memorized Shakespeare's Henry V Battle of Agincourt speeches in Volume 2 completely of his own initiative (and in fact unknown to me until he recited them to me). Literally, we haven't even gotten to those chapters yet in our HS, but he's been listening to the CDs for weeks and appeared at the breakfast table today ready to perform the speeches for me. I was stunned! So, I would love to find more literary and/or historical speeches or poems dramatically performed on CD. Patrick Henry, Hamlet, whatever... Anyone know of any good ones?

Alte Veste Academy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 A Patriot's History on audio is great for American history speeches and some poetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility7 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 would youtube or internet work? i know you can find them there for free Great suggestion... but is it possible then to separate the audio from the video? I wonder what kind of program I would need to do that... I really just want to be able to give him audio to listen to, not video to watch.

HejKatt Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Here is a thread which I posted asking a similar question on the High School board (I think they know more because of Rhetoric studies) http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=294154 I think it's great that your son has memorized so much, so effortlessly! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, he is definitely a STRONG auditory learner (totally unlike me!). I'm delighted it comes so easily for him, and I just want to keep him well-supplied with recordings of beautiful poems and speeches for him to internalize. Thanks for pointing me to the other thread, I'm off to follow the links! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
