Abridged version of Plato's Apology

[Momto5]

Can anyone recommend an abridged version of Plato's Apology for a 6th/7th grade reading level? I looked through my copy of WTM but didn't see a recommendation.

Thanks,

What about listening to the Apology?

Here's a link to free mp3

The Apology is not something that would lend itself to abridgment; it's only 40 pages long in a recent English edition. If your dc aren't ready for it, why not just wait until they're older? I'm not sure why a middle schooler would be reading Plato in the first place! ;)

Thanks for the audio link! I think we'll read it together slowly and then listen to the audio version.

I actually found a written version recommended in WTM (page 361 in the 1999 edition). It is recommended for 5th grade and not abridged. My daughter came to me and asked for it based on some other reading she had done so I found a copy of the recommended book at our local used book store.
