No one can't help? Any ideas? Opinions?


I want to express my gratitude to those who reply and seeing my post is vanishing slowly to the back pages, I brought to a new thread my request for your wise leading in this little matter.

Thank you, ladies...now not been a "pure" TWTM....
...more like a "wanna be" and I try, What would be the best way to do this?

I have only one. She did (is in the last chapters of) Notgrass World History and finished couple weeks ago LLC British Lit.

Last year could have been 9th, but it was a fiasco...so this year is 9th and had been MUCH better, yeah!

US History has always be my strong desire to feed on deeply...to the bone core. That is why even though I am ready for next year with US History I am having second thoughts in starting this without a kind of thorough Ancient History. After all, all this things are "popping out" now in our society came from some where, so lets dig in our past, right?

Doing Ancient History this coming year, I will have to use two years (the last ones) of High School entirely for US History with all the additionals...(Constitution, Government, Civics, Economics...etc.)

Would you give me some ideas how to do the Ancients for next year in a fun way? Which editions to stay clear from and which ones not to miss? Which are the MUST read in order to be able to say "We did the Ancients" and really have convered them?

Am I in the right track here or Am I over reacting? Would it really make a big difference for my dd understanding US History with a good Ancient History foundation.:confused:

While you try to figure out how to help me, I am going to visit with TWTM book and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks in advance and forgive my trailing thoughts. Do I even make sense? Just wondering.

I found all of these by using the search function and the word "ancient."

Good luck!
