Melissa B Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Our new plan :rolleyes: is to save Biology for 10th grade. Dd is now planning to take four online classes through FLVS. She will not have texts and a major problem with these classes (in my opinion) is the lack of assigned reading - no context. So we'd love suggestions in order to put together a 10-12 book list to read and discuss only, that will help tie these four classes together (and are interesting to read.) Science - AP Environmental Science History - AP Human Geography Elective - Anthropology (.5 credit fall) Elective - Sociology (.5 credit spring) Possibilities already on my shelves: Guns, Germs and Steel Material World Hungry Planet Poor People Sand County Almanac Rachel Carson books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 What about a Malcolm Gladwell book? That would cover Sociology, and they touch on other topics as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Kon Tiki (Heyerdahl) Black Like Me (Griffin) Bruchko (Olson) I've not read these, but the premise of each sounds interesting -- living in the shoes of another for a year: - Nickel and Dimed On (Not) Getting By in America (Barbara Ehrenreich) - The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible (A. J. Jacobs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
