CTC HS Lit selections input Carrie or Julie?

Post by MrsMandy » Thu Aug 11, 2011 8:13 pm

Ok so I tried to find titles that mesh with DITHOR and the CTC time period just because I really want him to have the introduction to the great ancient literature. I would appreciate it if someone could take a look see and let me know if the books are to big of a stretch for Genre or 9th grade reading (my son is 15 1/2 with a 11th grade reading level)

Bio- Nero
Adventure- Beowulf or Gilgamesh
Historical Fiction- Cat of Bubastes (unabridged actual book) or ???
Fantasy- The Odyssey or The Illiad (maybe both to compare as a final project for Lit)
Mystery- The Golden Goblet
Folk Tales- Sure News Up Ahead (Egyptian Folktale)
Non Fiction- First 10 Chapters of Streams of Civilization
Humor- Lysistrata
Realistic Fiction- Silas Marner or ??? (really stumped here)

I also have a few free study guides I found for a couple of these books I may have him do as a more in depth study. I think I either go too light or too heavy on lit because I love it so much and either think what I expect is college level and in trying to temper that do not expect enough or I go overboard with excitement and pile it on like I am the one reading them.
