I am afraid that I'm tweaking our planned Year 3 again.... I did warn you that I wasn't sure the last version was quite final. I have found that finding Canadian History resources that feel just right has been difficult, and I'm still not 100% sure I'm there yet.... I just thought that my previous plan just didn't have enough Canadian content. So, I've done some work, and this is where I'm at. There will be a minor change to Year 2 - but I had always felt there should be a bit of Canadian History in Year 2 anyway.
Most of the year will be based on AO's Year 3
Booklist Change Summary:
- Remove - This Country of Ours.
- Add - Story of Canada - by E. L. Marsh
- Add - Great Canadian Lives
- Add - Canadian Minutes from Historica (these are the "Canadian Minute" ads from TV - we watch them online)
- Remove - American Folk Tales
- Add - The Spirit of Canada [or other appropriate Canadian Folk Tales]
- Add - The Secret World of Og - Pierre Burton -> added as a Free Read
- Remove - Squanto
- Add - Madeleine Takes Command
- We don't do Trial and Triumph
- (Add - Young Folk's History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by Nephi Anderson)
Note - I generally tried not to add something without removing something, so as not to overburden the year. For History.
