Ethan's Facts to Know: Grover Cleveland was the only president married in the White House. Grover Cleveland was the first Democrat to become president since Buchanan before the Civil War. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor, designed the Statue of Liberty. Gustave Eiffel, designer of the Eiffel Tower, was the Structural Engineer.
Joseph Pulitzer raised much of the money needed for building the pedestal.
Dialectic
I had my dialectic son complete the Ellis Island booklet provided by the NPS. Some information he filled in via web searches.
Rhetoric
Read Crime and Punishment with your rhetoric student if at all possible. It is available on Librivox.org if you prefer audio, although I find the reader for the first 7 chapters is difficult to listen to. I went with audible.com.
All Levels
We downloaded and watched Modern Marvels: The Statue of Liberty from iTunes ($1.99)
We all read The New Colossus. I've included a picture of the Statue of Liberty and the Colossus of Rhodes on the sheet I formatted.
This blog is a look into our homeschooling journey as we use Tapestry of Grace. You'll also find stories from various books I have collected that are now in the public domain and real life slipping in occasionally. Most posts from the public domain books have a pdf that you may download and print. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
