teachme2learn ParticipantWould anyone share their favorite books from their study of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, any books we shouldn’t miss? I have preschoolers to highschoolers.
Thank you

teachme2learn ParticipantThank you Anna for sharing that link to your blog. I had it bookmarked a while ago but had totally forgotten about it.
andream ParticipantThis is great, piano girl, I’m saving this to refer back to for next year when we do Middle Ages.
pianogirl363 ParticipantYou’re welcome! I’m always thankful when another CM mom shares her ideas so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel. 🙂

Ivanhoe by Scott
Knight’s Fee by Sutcliff
The Shield Ring by Sutcliff (Sutcliff has several set during this time and is an excellent author)
Mantle mass series by Barbara Willard
I Will Adventure by Elizabeth Janet Gray

Geoffrey Trease and Henry Treese wrote good books in this time period
greenebalts ParticipantThese are great suggestions! Don’t forget to check out Beautiful Feet’s Medieval package. We LOVE their book choices! http://bfbooks.com/Books/Medieval-History
Also, you may find some ideas through Sonlight http://www.sonlight.com/GC5.html
I used Mystery of History as our spine when covering that period, adding literature. Our plan is here… http://reflectionsfromdrywoodcreek.blogspot.com/2012/06/mystery-of-history-volume-2-lesson-plan.html
teachme2learn ParticipantWonderful!!
Wings2fly ParticipantThanks, greenebalts! We are using MOH 1 this year and I found your suggestions helpful as I plan living books to go with our audio book. It is goes well, we will do vol. 2 audio next year.
