Heather K. Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 My 10th grader wants to spend a year studying Greek & Roman history for a world history credit. I haven't yet located an already-made curriculum. Right now I'm planning to build a semester each around Lang's "These Were the Greeks" and "These Were the Romans." Does anyone know of one that I just haven't found yet? Quote
Haiku Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 We made up our own. My dd will be watching some Great Courses, reading some books about the Greeks and the Romans, reading speeches, poems, and plays of some of the greats of ancient Greece and Rome, and creating a website to showcase the information she's learned.

PhineasPoe Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Have you looked at the Truthquest guides? There is one for Greeks and another for Romans. You can pare them with a couple of the suggested spines and then add some literature in to round them out. It's how we are doing history, and we really enjoy it. Quote
elegantlion Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 History Odyssey level 3 has ancients, with a just few weeks devoted other ancient civilizations. Are you planning on combining ancient literature? You could use the WTM suggestions for a Great Books study. 1 Quote
JudoMom Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I was going to suggest Roman Roads as well. You could do just the Histories courses for each. When we did the full years of The Greeks & The Romans, I did the Lang books and a bunch of Great Courses. Quote
Chrysalis Academy Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 The Other Side of History: Daily Life in the Ancient World is a Great Course very focused on Greek & Roman history. It does cover other periods, but leans toward G&R. We're liking it so far, it's a nice change from king/general/emperor/war focused history. 1 Quote
