I found the Parents' Review article about the MEC and there it is stated that "papers being issued at the beginning of each year giving the names of the books which are to be read". Are there any copies of these lists? I'm dying of curiosity to know which books and how many would be assigned in a year!<br />Blessings,<br />Kim<br />David and Kim + 8 Crew Membershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772938128865055817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-63478976450669082742014-02-05T10:53:51.665-08:002014-02-05T10:53:51.665-08:00Jen,

I think narration is VERY challenging for those of us not raised on it - we haven't made it a habit.<br />Comfort and joy,<br />NancyNancy Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574031101073589680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-8093515941052271682014-02-05T10:52:20.202-08:002014-02-05T10:52:20.202-08:00Amy,

I've read a rather stinging story about some teachers complaining about the students' narrations from Plutarch and she turns the tables and asks, in essence, "can you do any better?" As far as older students starting with CM, there would be a growing time in this habit. This post by Dr. Carroll Smith addresses that question - http://www.charlottemasoninstitute.org/practical-suggestions-for-narration-by-carroll-smith/<br /><br />Truly,<br />NancyNancy Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574031101073589680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-87260783596052397402014-02-04T05:57:03.584-08:002014-02-04T05:57:03.584-08:00How interesting!

These questions make perfect sense now! Any non-CM-educator that has gone to a conference, or participated in a group CM narration session and been given an opportunity to narrate as a group knows just how challenging this is! So your explanation makes perfect sense now!! What a thrilling post to read in that it brings light to something I've wondered about for so long! Mystery solved!

I think I'd find it pretty difficult. But what about older students who started late with a CM education?Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-6789384856643797492014-02-02T17:38:13.982-08:002014-02-02T17:38:13.982-08:00I always wondered about those questions!I always wondered about those questions!Amber Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453083142344989377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-22742854119563500122014-02-02T16:05:42.517-08:002014-02-02T16:05:42.517-08:00Mystery solved!
