paceofnature Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm looking to add some secular audiobooks to our ancient history next year that we can listen to while in the car. This would be for my 5th and 6th grade kids who will be using Human Odyssey. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerforest Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 We have really enjoyed these courses from Great Courses/Teaching Company (which I got from Audible), but I should warn you that there are several very explicit references to $ex. We're very open about the topic here, but there were a few lectures in the first two series (especially during the Greeks) that I had to define terms for DD that I hadn't expected. So, they definitely cover all aspects of ancient life, but we have really gotten a lot out of them.

My son specifically asked to learn more about daily life, so those seem like something he will like. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Are you just looking for non fiction? I am planning to include some literature in our Ancients course this coming year for my 5th grader and have found many books on Audible or Cds including: D'Aulaires and other versions of Greek myths various Rosemary Sutclff titles Til We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis The Cat of Bubastes by Henty (not my favorite, but Ds who is 8 will like it) The Bronze Bow The Golden Goblet Horrible Histories - very middle school boy! Time Warp trio - also very boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
