ereks mom Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm looking for a "basal reader" program that includes these features: Middle School level (6th-7th-8th) Medieval and Renaissance literature anthology arranged chronologically includes comprehension & critical thinking questions for each selection includes writing assignment suggestions & ideas teaches literary devices (alliteration, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, etc.) has text, TE, workbook, and answer keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocky Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Memoria Press 6th grade literature covers medieval: they have Adam of the Road, Robin Hood, King Arthur and the Door in the Wall with teacher's guides. No workbooks though. Veritas Press Omnibus for 8th grade is medieval too, with teacher's and student guides, covering Beowulf, Augustine's Confessions, Bede's History, The Bondage of the Will, Canterbury Tales and Dante's Inferno; still no workbooks. Hewitt Homeschooling's Lightning Literature has a medieval year, but it is aimed at 10-12th grade; maybe it could be adapted? We are currently using Lightning Lit 7th grade, and it is working well for my get-er-done dd13. Lightning lit 7th grade has teacher's guide, student guide, workbook and writing assignments, but isn't medieval. Perhaps one of the Catholic programs like Kolbe or Seton has something with a reader? Subbing - hope you get some good recommendations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
