Year 3

Marco Polo

Click image for word document

After reading multiple reviews and two books, I chose the Manuel Komroff version of Marco Polo. The reason is because I actually enjoyed reading the story. M also enjoyed it and narrated well from it. The schedule document contains:

  • Weekly readings
  • Summary of the text
  • Map notes
  • Links to videos pictures
  • References to the pictures or descriptions in the Freedman book on Marco Polo.

It was difficult to find a map that covered all of the area well and was big enough to label. I used this blank Asia map and had it printed on larger paper.

Biographies: Queen Bess & Bard

I chose these two biographies the first time through Year 3. We used a century chart for both that helped improved narrations. This guide includes the page numbers and summary of the reading for each week for each book.
