Lux Et Veritas Academy Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I just can't get excited about reading this with my kids? Is it me- is it him! I understand the value, but every time I open it up- I shiver. Does anyone have a schedule have their year with Plutarch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicheleinMN Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Have you looked at Anne White's Plutarch Study Guides at Ambleside Online? We started with Poplicola and Anne's guide. HTH, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Application-wise, that is. Higher Up and Further In blog has two posts about Plutarch. One is "why" and one is "how". They are excellent. Check them out. Plutarch posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm not sure which version of Plutarch you are reading with your children so thought I'd offer this as an alternative in case you hadn't heard of it. It is called "The Children's Plutarch." http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=gould&book=greeks&story=_contents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testimony Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 We were suppose to do it as a read aloud! Ooops!:w00t: My older son reads, Young Folks Plutarch by Rosalie Kaufman. He reads it on his own and he narrates back to me the story. He narrates by drawing sketches of the story. He got a book on how to draw comic book superheros. He tries to draw the main character like a superhero or supervillian. It depends on how he feels about the character. I go very slow and steady with this reading. He only reads two paragraphs at a time. Joke, I remember trying to assign him his reading one day. We were looking for the two paragraphs. It ended up being six pages long. :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5: Blessings in your homeschool journey!

AllSmiles Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'd like to second MicheleinMN's suggestion. Anne White's study notes really make Plutarch manageable. She breaks the readings down in nice size chunks, has vocabulary suggestions, background information, and some good discussion questions/topics.
