World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers Volume 1: Ancient Writings

Volume 1: Ancient Writings is the first volume of World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers, a four-day-a-week, 30-week reading plan for Christian homeschooled high schoolers.Containing various key ancient writings, including Aesop's fables, Bible passages, early Christian writings, various passages from influential philosophies (Confucianism, karma, nirvana, the Koran), The Odyssey, and The Martyr of the Catacombs, this volume is, like the other volumes of World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers, complete with footnotes, study questions, final "For Additional Thought" questions, and a free color-coded 30-week reading plan and answer key for parents (via email).Here's what you get with the entire set of World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers:* Great Reads! World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers pulls together many of the greatest ancient writings, novels (set in historically significant eras and places in world history), stories, essays, and speeches from around the world.* A Helpful, 30-Week Reading Schedule. No more "What should we read this week?" Each volume of World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers contains a 30-week reading schedule that maps out your student's literature reading for the year.* A Christian Worldview. World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers is presented from a Bible-believing, Christian point of view, which is reflected in the selection introductions, footnotes, questions for review, and essay topics-many of which offer relevant scripture passages for students to research and compare to the literature selections.* Introductions, Footnotes, and Questions for Review. These put writings into historical context, assist students in understanding archaic terms, clear up potentially hazy passages, and point the student to think about and understand important ideas presented.* A Free Answer Key to the Questions for Review. Parents, you can discuss the questions at the end of each selection with your student-fully armed with the answer key!* Tests and Test Answer Keys for all Readings. There are 14 tests that may be administered by parents after their students finish sections of the books. The tests are multiple choice and matching, which makes it easy for parents to score.Note: There is no "Volume 3" or "Volume 6" listed on Amazon.com for World Literature for Christian Homeschoolers, because for "Volume 3" students use David Bercot's "Let Me Die in Ireland," available at www.scrollpublishing.com. For "Volume 6" students use George Orwell's "Animal Farm" (I use the anniversary edition, available at Amazon.com. Warning: Don't read the introduction of this version of Animal Farm; it gives away the plot!).Thank you,Scott Clifton
