Studying the Classics with Excellence in Literature

Posted in Reviews

Incorporating studying the classics into the homeschool year is not always an easy thing to do.  The idea of reading and analyzing the classics was one of those intimidating tasks that seems to cause me to want to put off even trying because I didn’t even know where to start.  I wasn’t even sure how to break it down into manageable size pieces which is rather amusing as that type of thing isn’t usually an issue for me.  I tend to jump into things and then get a little overwhelmed.  **grin**  Yet, the whole literature analysis thing just stopped me cold.

From day one, Munchkin loved – yes, loved – this program.  She wanted to watch the lessons because her teacher, Mr. Dwane, makes Latin fun and entertaining.  After watching just the free introduction lessons, she asked me to get her a Latin-English,…
