Did you know about "Help" up at the top of the forum screen?  (This only applies to browsers.  If you're using Tapatalk, you won't see this.)

Look up at the very top, on the right.  Next to "Search" and "Member List", you'll find "Help" (and "Rules").  Click on "Help," and you'll find a list of things you might want to do on the forum but not know how to do.

Post here to suggest other things you'd like information about.  Also post here if you find errors or omissions.

When I printed out both schedules for this year, I was very confused. Y9Lite seems to have far more books/items to do per week than the regular Y9. perhaps they got swapped? I'm editing my own version for a mix of both plus other books we are adding in, but I just wanted to raise a flag for that.

January 2023 Note: The links previously provided here went to our old website. Please refer to the AO Plutarch page to access the studies.

Folksongs for term 3 are up on the blog now. I also added my youtube playlist for all three terms to each of the folksong posts for the upcoming schoolyear. .
Term 3's songs are:
Brown Girl in the Ring
King John and the Abbot of Canterbury
The Saucy Sailor

Because we like round numbers, we've decided to add a tenth year to the Plutarch cycle. It isn't  scheduled on the website yet, and the studies aren't ready: this is just a heads-up. The three new studies (Phocion, Camillus, and Dion) will appear for the year 2024-2025, and the rest will move on by one year.



If Dion seems familiar, yes, he used to be in the cycle, and we're bringing him back with updates. The others are new ones for AO.



Also, watch for all the older existing studies (Pericles etc.) to appear in overhauled format by the end of the year. I'm trying to close the gap there.

Folksongs for term 2 of the 2020-2021 Year are up: https://archipelago7.blogspot.com/2020/0...-list.html

The songs for term 2 are:

The Cruel War

The Alberta Homesteader or Starving to Death on My Government Claim

Michael, Row the Boat Ashore

The Advisory have added a book, which is scheduled across Years 4, 5, and 6 (or Groups Form 2). If you've already started your school year and can't afford another book to your budget, it's fine to pick it up later and catch up. If your library ends up with a copy (when libraries are open again!) it could also be used for free reading. It's a collection of stand-alone biographies, so its scheduling can be very flexible.

Answering the Cry for Freedom: Stories of African Americans and the American Revolution
By Gretchen Woelfle

It's been added to the booklists and schedules.

Folksongs for term 1, 2020/21 year

Folksongs, term 1

How do I add a profile picture?

Thanks!

Is there an affiliate link somewhere for Canadian AO'ers, going to Amazon.ca? I thought there was one before, and now I can't find it. But maybe I'm imagining things, it wouldn't be the first time.

A few months ago I published the AO-study version of Madam How and Lady Why, and it is available free on the website. This week Leslie created text-only versions for each of the two volumes, for those of you working with groups or for those who prefer not to give students the whole guide. You can access the text-only pages by clicking on the footnotes for the books on the Year 4 and 5 pages.

Hi,

I usually am able to download the ODT charts and easily edit them and print them out.  Now, I am being asked to sign-up for Microsoft Word and enter a credit card number in order to edit.  I can get my husband's help.  I'm not sure what the difference is.  Maybe it is something on our end since we got a new computer a few months ago.

Thank you!

Shelley

A brand new Year 1 Primer/Guidebook is now posted to the website to help you plan Year 1:
https://www.amblesideonline.org/Yr1Primer.shtml

The previous primer was over 10 years old and had too many out of date references and dead links to save, so we've made a new one.

Leslie,

Was there recent changes to the curriculum site? I've noticed the last couple of days the links at the top are no longer highlighted in white (they are black) and I can click on them, but the menu doesn't stick when I move my cursor down. It seems to be the ones for By Years, By Subject and Resources. It is like this on my laptop using windows, as well as my iphone.

Thank you

I read the rules, and I am still confused. How do I make a post in the Resources Thread, friends? I want it to read something like "AO WTB Year 7 Science Books."

I somehow missed getting my time zone correct when I requested to join.  I am in the USA in Eastern Daylight Time.  Is there a way to change it? TIA!

Since I no longer have a teen using the teen forum is there a way to remove myself so I do not always have the forum updates?
Thanks!

Hi, can someone better explain to me how to search in this forum. I was wanting to find some posts about the Year 4 geography book, "Material World." Here in the forum I searched for it (with quotation marks), but it pulls up a bunch of seemingly irrelevant threads, that, my guess is, having either the word "material" or "world." LOL. I searched on the AO Facebook page and it pulled up the sort of posts I was looking for, right off the bat. How do I use the search function on the forum to find what I want?

I know this has been explained to me before but I forget.  Can someone please remind me how to share a picture in a post?  Something about it has to be online somewhere?  Thank you!

In looking at the Joan of Arc books. The website says this:
** *** Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Mark Twain α Vol 1 β; Vol 2 β ($ K) Ω [26]
The very first link α links to this book: https://archive.org/details/saintjoanofa...1/mode/2up which says it is by Twain and Pyle but the words are different to all of the other links including the librivox. EmilyT thought it matched an essay in the back of her book. It's around 68 pages long. It doesn't match THE Twain Joan although it is a Twain Joan ...
