The Dragon and the Raven Study Guide

Downloads, history, homeschool, Homeschool Curriculum

I’m excited to offer my second study guide in the G.A. Henty series for The Dragon and the Raven!

It’s 870 A.D.

Vikings have invaded the English countryside, and although the English try to repulse these attacks, they are overrun by the savagery and sheer numbers of the Danish forces.

This exciting tale by G.A. Henty tells the story of the fictional hero Edmund as he serves the historic King Alfred. As the story opens we find the Saxon people deep in conflict with the Vikings, desperate to save their homes and families from senseless destruction. As Edmund witnesses the battles between Saxon and Viking, he observes their fighting styles, and eventually  puts that knowledge into use and created a uniquely trained group of soldiers. With Alfred’s blessing, Edmund commisions a new ship called the Dragon. Manning this ship with his special forces, Edmund joins the battle for freedom from Danish oppression. His adventures take him all throughout Europe and lead to glory, wealth, and eventually love.

Witness up close Viking battles, exciting adventures on the sea, capture by the enemy, and the siege of Paris alongside Edmund as he serves his country.

Learn about Alfred and why he is remembered as “the Great,” discover the lifestyles and customs of Saxons and Vikings, explore geography and vocabulary related to the story, and do hands-on activities to make learning come alive.

I have two very different sons. One has been an extrovert since he could talk. The other has been an introvert for just as long. The thing about home education is that it doesn’t have to happen at home. What it really means is “not public school.” Not stuck in a classroom all day. Not confined to a government calendar. Not a slave to the system. 23 years ago I helped my aunt Kari start a homeschool co-op. At that time, I had one child and she was three years old. If you have a child that struggles to read, read to them. Read aloud every day. That’s the best advice I can give. New year. New house. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: How do I homeschool with babies and toddlers in the mix?? Don’t let people tell you that “you can’t shelter your children.” Yes, you can. And you absolutely should. Mothers have a crucial role to play in society, although their job doesn’t always feel very “crucial.” Wiping baby faces, repeating instructions, settling squabbles, and making food is repetitive and doesn’t always seem important. For 2023, I’ll be preaching the same ol’ message that I can’t stop saying: “education is discipleship,” and “you can do it” homeschooling encouragement. Not gonna make the message easier to swallow when the world is attacking children on a grander scale every day. I’m also not going to tell you that homeschooling is a breeze, but I will keep saying that it’s worth every minute.
