All of the following resources (and more) have already been available (organized by subject) on our Cycle 3 Resources Page. There are several resources on our Cycle 3 Subject Resources Pages that span multiple weeks. You will not find memory work verbiage in my links lists or in my documents.
Cycle 3 Reading Plans
For a reading/curriculum plan that overlaps much of the memory work studied during Cycle 3 with an emphasis on America’s foundations of faith along with an integrated study of U.S. history, geography, and fine arts (along with science studies from a Christian worldview), check out our Mission: Lasting Liberty Curriculum Plan. (Although Mission: Lasting Liberty is not directly correlated to the memory work, it includes a more complete study of anatomy, chemistry, and U.S. History.)
For a reading plan/schedule that corresponds more directly with the Classical ConversationsⓇ Foundations Program, visit our Cycle 3 Reading Plans page.
