For Homeschooling Parents:

There is enough supplemental material to flesh out a full semester (one half unit) of history, or a 1/4 unit history plus 1/4 unit English.

Here's what I suggest as a minimum-- adjust according to age-- Suggested Minimum Requirements

About the Movies --

Please do not assume that movies I have listed are fine for your students without checking them out for yourself. Students reading King Alfred's English cover a wide age range and what is ok for a 12th grader may be over the top to someone in 7th grade. I have tried to include warnings for any movie that might have questionable content, but my sensitivities may be different from your own, so please be aware of that.

And One Last Thing--

This is a brand new method of teaching for me (online) and I'm used to having kids who tell me what they especially liked and learned from, or what they didn't "get," so I can revamp the online material accordingly. I'd love to know what you felt about the book, of course, as well! So please feel free to email me: laurie@theshorterword.com

I hope you and your students enjoy this study!
