dovrar Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hello All, I am looking for a version of Plutarch that is geared toward middle schoolers. I have found Plutarch's Lives for Boys and Girls and Plutarch for Children.​ Does anyone have opinions regarding one over the other? Another version that someone has found and loves? Thanks!!! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I have been using this one with my 6th & 4th graders. It makes it very accessible and easy to get started. My kids enjoy it. https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Plutarch-Primer-Anne-E-White-Plutarch/9780994797742?ref=grid-view&qid=1505805994036&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy M Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Hi, I'm not sure if you're already familiar with Ambleside Online, a free, CM-based homeschooling curriculum online, but they have this page on Plutarch with lots of information and links on it. They mention Young Folks' Plutarch, which I don't think you've mentioned yet. Anne White, author of the primer linked above, did much of the work on that AO page as well. Then there's Yesterday's Classics, with e-books or hard copies for sale of these Plutarch for Children type books, and many are free on Heritage History's site or www.mainlesson.com.

Homeschoolmom3 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I love Anne White's Plutarch guides. She breaks up the text into lessons that are very manageable and I think easy enough to use with elementary age kids. Not sure what age you are looking for but my 6 yr. old tags along with my 9th grader and he gets just as much out of it as my older child. Don't sell them short particularly if they have been read to a lot. Here is link to one of her guides....HTH :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0994797729/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 We have The Children's Plutarch from Yesterday's Classics, and we have enjoyed it. Sounds like there are several good ones out there. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
