Review of The Book of the Ancient Greeks by Memoria Press

The Book of the Ancient Greeks
 by Memoria Press

I have to thank Christie for giving me the green book, and the Teacher Guide.  I am very thankful! 

We have spent the past five weeks completing The Book of the Ancient Greeks, by Memoria Press.  I thought I would make a separate post to show some detail about this set of books.  I have found it very well done!  I'm visual, so I've taken some pictures to SHOW some of the material.  

It is a pretty easy to follow set.  You read the thick chapter book that is broken up into specific topics, then the student fills out the worksheet questions regarding that chapter, and the teacher's manual provides all the answers to check your students answers.
