Always a good read!
:lol: Right along with the Unnofficial guide.
Always a good read!
Yep. Shelby Foote's version of the Civil War tends to be a little different than James McPherson's. Let me know if you want any suggestions for books. I was a History major and it is sort my semi-profession as well.It's not so much keeping up (although it can make for interesting conversation) as much as reading books that I wouldn't ordinarily be interested in reading. I found that several that my daughter had to read were quite interesting. I also like to steer him towards other books that might have a valid counterpoint, so he can make his own decisions.
Sounds good...I'll have to give it a try.
Good book, and GREAT classes!
AP US is an amazing course. Is he taking full year or half?
Full year for both, with a lot of writing. The English class parallels the History class, so right now he's reading The Scarlet Letter in one, and essays by the founding fathers in the other. He opted to drop Latin, as that would have been a third AP course, along with two honors math & science courses. So he's taking Spanish 1 with all of the 8th graders. :lol:
I have that, but never got beyond the first couple of chapters. I'll have to pick it back up again. I got busy and pregnant and stuff and sort of forgot all about it
