Classical Conversations Cycle 1 Week 2

History:
Ten Commandments: Ten Commandments: one lesson daily from this site to cover each commandment.  Goal: to memorize the hand motions to go with each commandment.  Use the hand motions as tutor in class

Science: ETA: I had weeks 1 and 2 Science mixed up - I am not sure if the order was different in the 3rd edition, which is what I had when I started planning.  I've since sold my 3rd edition and gotten the 4th, so  I can't check to see if that's why I had it confused.  In any case, sorry about the mistake.    I've fixed the mistake.

Five kingdoms of living things:

We will use this website for the lessons that week.  This page has a succinct description of each kingdom. Biology4Kids has a much more detailed account with photos (good for older student, but I plan to show mine the photos).  I'll have Bear do a narration of what she remembers from each kingdom at the end of the week.

Video:

The following is much more detailed, but I think Bear will appreciate that detailed. It's meant for a 7th grade class and there are even questions to ask for comprehension.


Geography:
Assyrian Empire - This site has a pdf printable map of the Assyrian Empire.  The dates don't matter too much - the memory work is the surrounding bodies of water.  I needed a map that showed all of them.  We'll use this visual in class too.

Grammar:
Prepositions - continue to read books from last week and work on memorizing last week's song.

    What fun links! We're doing CC this fall also. Will you be in a community as a Tutor? The kids will be so lucky! I'd love to see your Geography Assyrian Empire map - it didn't link in the post. Looking forward to seeing your resources for the upcoming weeks! Thanks for sharing!
