ABOUT THE ORESTEIA

In the Oresteia Aeschylus addressed the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration. In Agamemnon, a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution; The Libation Bearers deals with the aftermath of Clytemnestra’s regicide, as her son Orestes sets out to avenge his father’s death; and in The Eumenides, Orestes is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased. Forming an elegant and subtle discourse on the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, The Oresteia is a compelling tragedy of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society.

The only trilogy in Greek drama that survives from antiquity, Aeschylus’ The Oresteia is translated by Robert Fagles with an introduction, notes and glossary written in collaboration with W.B. Stanford in Penguin Classics.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

"College Knowledge: What It Really Takes for Students to Succeed and What We Can Do to Get Them Ready." Although more and more students have the test scores and transcripts to get into college, far too many are struggling once they get there. These students are surprised to find that college coursework demands so much more of them than high school. For the first time, they are asked to think deeply, write extensively, document assertions, solve non-routine problems, apply concepts, and accept unvarnished critiques of their work. College Knowledge confronts this problem by looking at the disconnect between what high schools do and what colleges expect and proposes a solution by identifying what students need to know and be able to do in order to succeed. The book is based on an extensive three-year project sponsored by the Association of American Universities in partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts. This landmark research identified what it takes to succeed in entry-level university courses. Based on the project's findings - and interviews with students, faculty, and staff - this groundbreaking book delineates the cognitive skills and subject area knowledge that college-bound students need to master in order to succeed in today's colleges and universities. These Standards for Success cover the major subject areas of English, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, second languages, and the arts. Softcover. 384 pages. Learn More

Saxon Physics, The Complete Homeschool Program. Anyone who has taught second-year algebra, especially Saxon's Algebra 2, can teach this book successfully. The subject is presented at an introductory level and does not require that the teacher have a background in physics. Saxon Physics is an engineering physics course. A scientific calculator is needed for the course. Students will be most successful with this course if they have completed at least the first half of Advanced Mathematics or some other pre-calculus book that includes trigonometry. Saxon Physics is equally appropriate for average and gifted students. The entire program is based on introducing a topic to a student and then allowing them to build upon that concept as they learn new ones. Topics are gradually increased in complexity and practiced every day, providing the time required for concepts to become totally familiar. The student textbook (hardcover) includes 100 lessons, appendix with selected tables, Periodic Table of the Elements, Answers to odd-numbered problems. 796 pages. The Homeschool Packet (included) contains 25 Test Forms for homeschooling, Answer Key to all tests, and Answer Key to all student textbook problems. Physics Solution Manual (sold separately - Item # 2634) includes step-by step solutions to all student textbook problem sets.Rather than an introduction to physics, Learn More

You will find R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey (RSO) to be unlike any other science curriculum available. It is written specifically for home school and small group use. Packed full of serious science and loads of fun, it is an incremental program that gently builds on itself and incorporates mathematics and scientific terminology. Created with the science novice in mind, you don't need any science background to teach these courses. RSO Life (level one) is appropriate for 1st to 4th grade. The course is divided into three sections: the human body, the animal kingdom, and the plant kingdom. Students study the major body systems through making models and doing tests on their own bodies. Classification and the five kingdoms of living things are studied as students make an animal kingdom book. Animal kingdom labs include examining real worms, mollusks, arthropods, and butterfly metamorphosis. Students learn about the plant kingdom through looking at the makeup and function of seeds, flowers, leaves, stems, and roots. Each book of RSO level one is a complete one-year science curriculum. Each topic in the RSO series of books is presented in an entertaining story-like format and is followed by hands-on activities along with background science information, parent instructions, labs, reading lists, journaling ideas, and websites.

Word Explorer is an engaging collection of diverse word puzzles designed to ignite students' passion for active learning and the discovery of patterns. Drawing inspiration from the companion mathematics series Pattern Explorer, this collection recreates the thrill of problem-solving and pattern exploration through the use of words and letters. From classic puzzles like word scrambles, rebus puzzles, and word searches to less traditional, reimagined formats, these puzzles supply a wide variety of problem-solving opportunities in language arts to foster the type of critical thinking skills often associated with mathematical patterns. Get ready to play and have fun working with letters and words!

To maximize diversity and variation, the puzzles in this 112-page book appear in a rotating order for a total of 64 puzzle sets divided into the following themes:

• Missing Letters
• Letter Rearrangement
• Word Combinations
• Vocabulary
• Path Search
• Code-Breaking/Logic
• Visual

The activities are self-contained and independent, gradually increasing in sophistication. While we encourage starting with earlier sets, students have the freedom to choose their own path.

Suitable for students in grades 6-8, these puzzles cater to different comfort levels with word exploration. Accompanied by hints and solutions, the activities offer support for younger students while challenging older ones to uncover patterns with agility. Regardless of the pace, our playful exploration of words and letters is a rewarding experience.

We encourage students to pursue these pattern problems with a sense of adventure and perseverance. Some pattern discoveries may come quickly, while others may require patience and determination. Regardless, the pattern exploration offers rich and authentic experiences to see words and letters as an opportunity to discover and have fun.
