The Official Build Your Library Grade 10 Booklist!

I should not have screamed as loud as I did when I saw this posted! THANK YOU!!!!! Oh my goodness I smiled and giggled the awkward giggle through the whole vlog! I can't wait! I'll be ordering the second you post it!

Yeah! I want to take grade ten! Such great books! And yes to art history! I have the Annotated Mona Lisa and it is a great art resource.

I was surprised at how few people know about Queen Hatsheput! I would love to read that book.

Every year I think I'm going to break off and do my own planning. I start building lists and thinking through it, and then you come out with yours (we are one year behind you). Your programs have consistently been fantastic and exactly what we've needed. Thank you for sharing your gift for curriculum planning!

I'm thinking I should get grade 10 just for me since my homeschoolers are using Kindergarten and Grade 2. Wow! What an amazing booklist!

Thank you so much! Always inspiring! Can't wait to get it!

Yes, please for the art books!

Emily, I love watching these videos! They really get me excited for the upcoming school year and they help me figure out if we might want to do any book additions/substitutions. I would love to see a video for BYL 7, especially with the high school add-on you blogged about. We are a family is who is doing BYL 7 for high school to fulfill World Geography requirements and we will then need to combine BYL 10 and 11 to keep high school at 4 years. I'm a member of the BYL high school group on Facebook and so I know this approach we're taking isn't unique. It would be great if you also did a video about how you would combine BYL 10 and 11. Thanks for considering! I know you are busy!

Big books means high schoolers will be learning lots of good stuff! I am so excited to get there with my kids. We have a ways to go though! We are only about to start grade 6 on Monday ;-)

I would love to see the art history component as an option!! I took a Fine Arts Survey class in high school and it was the most beneficial class I think I have ever had.

Looks pretty amazing! Thank you.

I just watched a series on Netflix that is just amazing and I think that it might be useful for biology. David Attenborough's Natural Curiosities. Just amazing. It is a fascinating half hour show.

I'm so excited and my oldest is only in 7th grade!

My kids are nowhere near grade 10 but I just want to get all the books for me. Although, I found the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks incredibly distressing. Maybe because I have a background in both genetics and medical ethics. Some of the other books have me very excited though.

What a fantastic book list! I'm curious if you had looked at A World Lit Only By Fire for your history spines, or The Botony of Desire for biology. I read them in 10th grade and early college respectively, and seem like they would fit well in this cirriculum. Also I hope your tenth grader loves The Epic of Gilgamesh - one of my favorite epics.

It would be nice if you had an overhead camera, so while you talk, you actually show the inside of the books. Seeing the covers and you browsing through them, does not give your fantastic program justice... keep up the good work

How do you set up your school day? Do you just have them ready so many chapters per day? Do you read with them? Do you let them focus on one subject at a time and then move on to another subject? Thanks for any guidance. I have a 9th grader so I am enjoying all of your suggestions and weighing our options.

I just watched this with my 14 year old and she can't wait to start this curriculum next near. The question we have is, will there be a lab component to the Biology? Do you think this lab kit would be a good fit: http://www.qualitysciencelabs.com/h.s.-biology/

Can people pick and choose study guides or is it a package deal?

No history of Africa? Egypt is on the continent of Africa. It's tons of history on the countries and people on the continent of Africa. New York Public Library, National Geographic etc and numerous museums.
