The Greenleaf Guide to Famous Men of Greece

The study guide to accompany Famous Men of Greece, also published by Greenleaf Press. The Guide includes suggestions for how to set your study of ancient civilizations in a biblical context, as well as background information, vocabulary, and discussion questions. Also contains suggestions for supplementary assignments in children's versions of the Iliad and Odyssey, as well as selections from Plato.
The biographies in the Famous Men books can be read aloud to younger students, or read independently by older students. The discussion questions in the Greenleaf Guide can be discussed one-on-one, in a small group, or (occasionally) anwered in writing. Parents and teachers will find them useful with students from second grade though high school.
The thirty-one lessons in this guide are a gentle introduction to the history of Ancient Greece, using what Charlotte Mason called a “living book.” This guide will show you how to use the biographies in Famous Men of Greece with students in a wide range of grade levels.
