It’s been a while since we’ve done an unit study, but I’ve been wanting to make another go at one since we all loved them so much. The next three months will be spent studying Ancient Greece (and a touch of Rome).

 

In compiling this list I went to many resources and I’m sure the list will continue to grow as I research. My good friend Linda (remember the book lists?) was a huge resource especially for the classically based books. Here is our book list for the study of Ancient Greece in a unit study:
