love2read Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I bought Ruthorford's "Questions for the thinker" ebook for Livy and love it. It's been 10 years since I've used Livy with a child and while I remember that I didn't have them read them read all the books, I don't remember what I did have them read. It might have been books 1-3 and a few from Hannibal. What are you having your child read? I can't find our copy of the De Selincourt translation :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some info on the study guides. http://classicstudyguides.com/ We will read some Livy, but I'm not sure what. Right now I'm working through Herodotus with the Rutherford guide. We will also use her guide for The Odyssey next year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find any samples, though. Did I just miss them or does she not post samples? Certainly the pdfs are quite reasonable. Are either of y'all using her spiral bound books? Worth it to get both teacher manual and student guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2read Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I just ordered the individual study guide and it has answers in it. I did see samples online, but can't find them now. Here's an example of some of the first few questions for Book II. There are far more questions than the average person would have time to use. Book ii Livy wrote about patriotism. What did he say What benefit did Rome enjoy as a result of the long years of the monarchy? What was the primary difference between kings and consuls? What did the rods signify?

elegantlion Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Here's another place to look. I don't know if they have samples. http://emmanuelbooks.com/display_results.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Togo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I actually found the author at Aquinas, and she is going to contact the webmaster about her site. I see, though, that Emmanuel has individual ebooks, which is probably what we need anyway. Thanks! Edited March 5, 2012 by 1Togo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
