Enriching Literature (Master List)

It is my recommendation that you read one or two outside books per quarter (ie. biographies, classics, historical fiction, or primary sources) to enrich your study of world history and earn 20 extra credit points! While the Companion Guide offers you hundreds of titles for all ages, I’ve narrowed down those choices for middle and older self-paced students to give you 12 titles to choose from for each quarter. (You’re welcome!)  Lesson numbers are added to show you where the titles best fit, but don’t worry about lining up lessons and literature too closely because we all read at different rates. Just enjoy reading when you can!  

• Need a short cut?  I put in bold the books I’ve enjoyed the most for historical significance, rich content, or pure pleasure.  
• For convenience, I’ve attached a printable PDF called “Enriching Literature—Volume III Master List.” (See the tab, “Exercise Files” above this box.) Study the list and mark your interests.
• For additional convenience, you’ll see that I offer the list for each quarter again on the Quarter pages. (Not to be a pest, but I think these titles are valuable and don’t want you to miss them!)
