Studies of Ancient Civilizations Extra Resources

I love TOG because of its breadth and width of information and literature. Within the curriculum you will find plenty of resources to read along with each unit. I did do some extra reading for myself and also with Zach just to complement and add more variety in style and ways of presenting the subject matter; Zach has developed a real interest for History.

Thank you for these resources... we are in the ancients right now and I like the computer resources you suggested especially. The possibilities when you homeschool are ENDLESS, aren't they?

Thanks also for linking up with the Three Thinking Mothers' Blog Roll!
