Memoria Press Description: Aristotle’s Rhetoric concerns itself with the art of persuasion. This is a required text for Memoria Press’ Classical Rhetoric with Aristotle. From the publisher: “One of the seminal works of Western philosophy, Aristotle’s Rhetoric vastly influenced all subsequent thought on the subject—philosophical, political, and literary. Focusing on the use of language as both a vehicle and a tool to shape a persuasive argument, Aristotle delineates with remarkable insight both practical and aesthetic elements and their proper combination in an effective presentation, oral or written. He emphasizes the role of language in achieving precision and clarity of thought.
The ancients regarded rhetoric as the crowning intellectual discipline—the synthesis of logical principles and other knowledge attained from years of schooling. Modern readers will find considerable relevance in Aristotelian rhetoric and its focus on developing argumentation. Aristotle’s examinations of how to compose and interpret speeches offer significant insights into the language and style of contemporary communications, from advertisements to news reports and other media.”
The Classical Rhetoric Answer Key (included) contains the answers to the quizzes and tests found in the Classical Rhetoric Quizzes & Tests (NOT included in this set) and the exercises and comprehension questions found in the Classical Rhetoric Student Guide (NOT included in this set).$6.00$16.50 -

Material Logic with Aristotle Set by Memoria Press (Student Text, Teacher Key, Quizzes & Test)
Set includes the Material Logic Student Text, the Teacher Key, and the Quizzes and Test booklet, all by Memoria Press. All three are like new and are the current Third Edition.
Memoria Press Description: When most people think of logic, they think of formal logic—the study of the structure or form of reasoning. But what most educators don’t realize is that formal logic is only one part of a complete logic program. The other branch of logic study was called “material logic,” and focused not on the form of reasoning, but on its content. In short, while formal logic studied the “how” of reasoning, material logic studied the “what.”
The principles of material logic, an important part of trivium language study, are now almost forgotten—a casualty of the almost exclusive modern secular emphasis on math and sciences. Formal logic was once termed minor (or lesser) logic, while material logic usually went by the name of major (or greater) logic—a measure of how important classical thinkers considered them.
With the publication of Material Logic: A Course in How to Think, these ancient techniques are a lost art no more. Whether you want a follow-on course to Memoria Press’ popular Traditional Logic program, or simply an introductory thinking skills course for high school grades, this new addition to Memoria Press’ widely acclaimed Classical Trivium Core Series is a valuable tool in teaching your student to think.
Material Logic, like all of Memoria Press’ programs, is designed to ease the job of the teacher or parent—with straightforward explanations, an easy-to-read text layout, and digestible daily exercise sets.
Student Text: The Student Text contains an introduction to the course, 15 chapters of content, and appendices with helpful tips for studying logic.
Teacher Key: The Material Logic Teacher Key contains the answers to the exercises in the Material Logic Student Workbook (NOT included) and the Quizzes & Test. The Student Workbook is NOT included in this set.
Quizzes & Test: This book contains 14 chapter quizzes and a final exam for Material Logic by Martin Cothran. An answer key and downloadable version of the quizzes and test are also included.$19.95$33.25 -

The Book of the Ancient Romans (Textbook and Teacher Guide)
Set includes Textbook and Teacher Guide. Gently used and neither have markings or highlighting. These are the current Second Edition.
Memoria Press Description: Like any good Roman course, this one begins with the she-wolf who nurses in infancy the legendary founders of Rome: Romulus and Remus. The rise and fall of a monarchy, the embrace of a republic with the simultaneous dislike for kings, and finally the rise of the Roman Empire teach unforgettable principles about human nature and society. Dorothy Mills covers all of this, over 1,200 years of history, in an accessible text for middle-schoolers, with many references to primary sources in translation. We believe this book covers the Roman history expertly for younger students. It not only addresses the historical events, but includes notes on Roman culture, political system, and religion. This Memoria Press edition includes many illustrations of famous places and battles, busts of famous Romans, and maps of the Roman world in order to immerse the student in the period.

But it is not history alone—culture, values, and life lessons are taught.

The Greenleaf Guide to Ancient Egypt
Ever wonder how biblical history and ancient Egyptian history fit together? Why was God so angry with Pharaoh, anyway? These were questions we asked when we began our study of Ancient Egypt. We wanted to start our study of Western history by beginning at the beginning. After reading through the Old Testament (which is history, after all) we study ancient Egypt. The Greenleaf Guide to Ancient Egypt presents ten lesson plans, using the six books listed below. Included are vocabulary lists and discussion questions drawn from the reading. Also included are directions for playing a checkers like game found in Tut s tomb, directions for building a model shaduf (irrigate like the Egyptians!), as well as suggestions for how to adapt your study to fit grades 2-7. Home school tested. Excellent for Konos or Unit studies. Average duration is about 15 weeks.

Early Times: The Story of Ancient Egypt
Nearly 5,000 years ago, a great and powerful empire emerged from the fertile silt along the Nile River. Colossal temples and monuments rose from the surrounding desert plateaus and valleys. Miraculously preserved human bodies were sealed away with untold riches in mysterious hidden tombs. Strange markings, the archaic symbols of an advanced bygone civilization revealed animal headed gods, powerful kings, and mighty warriors. Get ready to discover the fascinating world of the ancient Egyptians.
Uncover the incredible secrets of ancient Egypt:
How were Mummies prepared for their epic journey into the afterlife? The bizarre rituals and grisly methods of ancient embalming may shock you!
How in the world could such an early civilization engineer and erect gargantuan monuments like the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, or the temple at Karnak?
Evidence shows that Egyptians accurately predicted eclipses, floods and even created the first solar calendar to record the passage of time. Could these early astronomers actually use the stars to measure time and space?
What happened when then when someone got sick, broke a bone, or got a cavity? Ancient Egyptians were among the first physicians, but often their cures were just as life-threatening!
The Story of Ancient Egypt explores over 3,000 years of Egyptian history, from the early development of farming communities that spawned along the fertile Nile River, to the soaring temples and monuments of New Kingdom imperial Egypt.Each chapter is followed by a short quiz, additional discussion points, and suggested activities to delve further into the mysteries of ancient Egypt.

History of the Ancient World + Teachers Guide
INCLUDES BOTH BOOKS- Hardback book and Softcover teachers guide
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country.
Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history.
Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”—literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts—to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them
