When I began this last summer I thought it would take us 12 weeks to get through....but rather it was 10 months. Initially I approached it by reading a lesson weekly, and it was dragging for us. Once we began small daily readings we were hooked. Excellent study guide.

So so helpful. Will be using these guides in my homeschool throughout the years.

One of my daughter joked that the life lesson from Tiberius Gracchi is make sure the crowd understands your hand motions if things are looking dangerous.

Read for 2021-2022 Term 3 & 2022-2023 Term 1 & 1/2 of 2 with 8th & 6th graders. We did not read the whole book, but only Agis & Cleomenes and Gaius & Tiberius Gracci (skipping Caesar since we’ve read a lot about him in the past few years).

These lives were great comparisons and the differences within them were also fascinating: Tiberius & Gaius/Agis & Cleomenes. Definitely some of the better lives we have read as far as discussion. (Timoleon still takes the cake for my favorite so far though.)

Anne White's Plutarch volumes are very helpful for studying his works. We used this volume for Julius Caesar in preparation for reading Shakespeare's play.
