Books and Materials for Topic 5
Meet
Kaya: An American Girl (American Girls Collection) (by Janet Beeler Shaw)
Most people are aware of the American Girl series of books so I won't bother to review it. They are marketed for girls, and my son found it boring. His sister, however (years ago), really loved it. If you have a boy you might want to focus more on chief Joseph and substitute with books from your library.
Topic 5
This is an engaging beautifully illustrated and photographed book.
It's really a feast for the eyes and conveys concepts in a way that sometimes
only pictures can.
Christians: be aware that there
is some "the earth our mother" type of language used and there is mention
of "spirit guides" on pages 17 and 21.
I would get this
title, even if your son isn't interested in the Kaya series of books. The pictures
are worth it.
I have read that this movie is fairly accurate movie (although a couple of historical points are changed or left out). My boys really enjoyed it.
