Quiver0f10 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Which one or combination of the above would you choose to help you through the GBs? If you would choose something else altogether, what are your choices? (other than study guides like sparknotes etc I am looking at more of something to hold my hand in the process.) Edited to add: I am looking at Omnibus so I am not sure if I would even need another resource? Edited: TTC = Teaching the Classics Thanks!

Nan in Mass Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I like Reading Strands and TWEM. Reading Strands has terms and defs, and sample discussions, and TWEM/TWTM has everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add: I am looking at Omnibus so I am not sure if I would even need another resource? Thanks! Okay, I'll answer this though I think I'll come off as a total dweeb. I preferred TTC, though I own them all. I preferred it because it was "easy" for me to get through. (About 4-5 hours). I'm still slogging through WEM. Sometimes I'm much more "visual" than a book can provide, and I think this was one of those times. Now, that I have finished TTC, I'm going to use it to go through a couple of small / childish books (Beatrix Potter)-- just to get a feel for it, and then I'll move on to WEM. I read reading strands AGES ago. . .I'll have to re-look, but I think I agree with the previous poster that it would be more of a reference tool. I guess, what I'm saying is that they are all good "tools", they may be of different quality (as a generic phillips head screw-driver to, say, a Craftsman), but it all boils down to what you pick up to do the job.

Jane in NC Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 May I just add a note for clarity? To me "TTC" means "The Teaching Company" but I believe Jean is referring to "Teaching the Classics". Everyone else may already be in the loop with abbreviations except Miss Fuzzy Brain over here. :tongue_smilie: Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :) Thaks for the help ladies. We had TtC once and never got around to it, but I think I am going to give it a try again along with WEM.

AuntieM Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 We are just getting into this and I will have to use Sparknotes, etc, for workin through each piece, but this provides a great list of books in chronological order. It also incorporates worldview studies, if you are looking for that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
