Synge (also often available free online at sites like <\/span>Project Gutenberg<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Note: The book has also been republished in an updated edition, though that one is harder to find. The plans below are based on the Yesterday\u2019s Classics edition, which may also be purchased on the <\/span><\/i>publisher\u2019s website<\/span><\/i><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The book is a challenge for most first year Level 3 students, but it is a challenge we have found worthwhile. In many ways, the earliest chapters are the most difficult. The lesson plans below move very slowly in the beginning to give the student time to adjust. By the end of the third year, students are usually reading and narrating it quite well, even at a much faster pace.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended resource:<\/strong><\/p>\n Mater Amabilis: A Study Guide for <\/b>A Book of Discovery<\/i><\/b><\/a> – This study guide is designed to be printed double-sided as a consumable for the student.<\/span><\/p>\n Mapping activities using the study guide precede reading assignments. Students will use an atlas, globe, or other resource to complete the mapping activity. Keep the map open while reading the assigned pages. The student may want to reference the map while narrating the reading. Narrations at this level may be oral or written.<\/span><\/p>\n Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage<\/b><\/a> by Alfred Lansing (Level 4 only)<\/span><\/p>\n Note: If the student has already read <\/span><\/i>Endurance<\/span>, these are excellent alternatives:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Week 2<\/span><\/p>\n Week 3<\/span><\/p>\n Week 4<\/span><\/p>\n Week 5<\/span><\/p>\n Week 6<\/span><\/p>\n Week 7<\/span><\/p>\n Week 8<\/span><\/p>\n Week 9<\/span><\/p>\n Week 10<\/span><\/p>\n Week 11<\/span><\/p>\n Week 12<\/span><\/p>\n Catch-up \/ Exams<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n Week 14<\/span><\/p>\n Week 15<\/span><\/p>\n Week 16<\/span><\/p>\n Week 17<\/span><\/p>\n Week 18<\/span><\/p>\n Week 19<\/span><\/p>\n Week 20<\/span><\/p>\n Week 21<\/span><\/p>\n Week 22<\/span><\/p>\n Week 23<\/span><\/p>\n Week 24<\/span><\/p>\n Catch-up \/ Exams<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n Week 26<\/span><\/p>\n Week 27<\/span><\/p>\n Week 28<\/span><\/p>\nKey Texts<\/h5>\n
