If you've looked at the AO Plutarch page lately, you may have noticed that we have changed the schedule of the Lives that we will be reading. The schedule for the coming school year schedule will stay the same, but starting next year we will be adding a few new Lives to the rotation, and taking a couple out that don't have as much to offer the area of Citizenship.
There are revised study notes up now for this term's Life of Crassus, and for Aemilius Paulus in the spring term. Both of these have Thomas North's text included. Let us know how they work for you and your students!
Is it possible to go back and get the 2013-2014 Plutarch list? I was planning to try this for the first time this fall with our 5th grader.

I'm sorry, I don't have it on file anywhere myself. I'm not sure I understand, though--did you want the entire old rotation, or just the three lives that were studied last year?
ReplyDeleteI think just the three lives studies last year. This is all new to me. But, I thought I remember reading somewhere that Poplicola was a good place to start and I'm thinking that was on last years rotation? I'm mainly looking for guidance for a beginner :) I'd like to start Plutarch with our rising 5th grader this fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much,

You can still start with Poplicola if you want; you don't have to stick to the rotatation if there's another one you'd rather do.
ReplyDeleteOk, do you study the comparisons? If so, how would one incorporate that? For example, when I look at the text online, I see Solon, Poplicola, Comparison of Poplicola with Solon. Would this be done in one term?
