Who was Charlotte Mason?
What are the basic principles of the Charlotte Mason method?
How I’ve adapted Charlotte Mason to fit our homeschool?

I hope to base my presentation off the first 3 questions and left room on the handout for notes. The rest of the handout will be links to reference CM books, websites, etc.
Are there important websites or resource books that I’m missing? Any other thoughts or ideas?
Thanks so much,
Melissa
