Great Lives Project Resources
The Great Lives list shows possibilities of who the students can study. If a student would like to research a great life that is not on the list, encourage them to speak with me so I can propose the great life to the E2 teaching team.

Recommended Reading for Ancient Civilizations

All are Children's Literature and can be found on AR Book Finder (www.arbookfind.com), which shares information such as summaries, interest level, reading level, etc. I have not read all of the books below, so I welcome you and your child's feedback about the stories.
