Lessons from the Green Gables About Where the Brook and River Meet--A Cadron Creek Publication Required Resources for Where the Brook and River Meet Frequently Asked Questions About Where the Brook and River Meet About Where the Brook and River Meet-
Where the Brook and River Meet From the practical to the poetic, Where the Brook and River Meet takes students on a journey through the Victorian Era and the world of Anne of Green Gables. Through varied, thought-provoking activities that stimulate interest and inquiry, they will explore the events and thinking of the time. Combining elements of the classical education of Anne’s day—dictation, recitation, memorization, essay writing—with the interdisciplinary approach of today—use of primary documents, field trips, hands-on projects—this study will challenge students to reflect on the historical issues of the Victorian day as well as the personal challenges of growing up. While following the lively, imaginative Anne into young womanhood, students will be led to look at their own journey into maturity. From discussions of self-acceptance, appearance, friendship, and romance, they will move beyond to reflect on character-building questions. What does it take to be a good friends? What should be the topic of our conversations? What are the effects of unforgivingness? For, at the heart of this study is the author’s desire to see young women grow into the grace of womanhood and the fruitfulness of the Lord. Author Margie Gray uses the wisdom in Montgomery’s book as a springboard to teaching beyond knowledge:
Every aspect of Where the Brook and River Meet is designed to enhance learning. Detailed lesson plans, subject headings, activity icons, informational appendices, and more guide the student and instructor through the variety of learning experiences. The scholarly tasks of reading, research, and writing are well balanced with many hands-on exercised like flower pounding, print making, and drawing. Dialogue-based reading comprehension questions and other discussion-type activities build communication between parent and child. This interdisciplinary curriculum is designed primarily for high school students. It is a full academic year program which covers a number of subject areas: literature, history, writing, grammar, fine arts, social studies, Bible, religion, occupational education, and health. Students will be exposed to many aspects of these subjects including: the opera and visual arts of the period; literature from many eras; poetry appreciation; a woman’s role in society; information on the nature, prevention, and care of diseases; the attitude of service to the sick and injured as well as the less fortunate. In keeping with the spirit of the Victorian age, a one-year course in Latin is suggested. Separate mathematic and laboratory science programs should be added to round of the curriculum. Recently revised and updated, Where the Brook and River Meet is now over 500 pages and an even more effective program for your home school. You and your students will be challenged by the clear call to higher standards this study sets forth.

Edited by Wendy E. Barry, Margaret Anne Doody, and Mary E. Doody Jones Excerpted from the jacket cover of The Annotated Anne of Green Gables:
This is a beautiful and exceptionally useful resource. It should be noted, however, that the authors demonstrate a definite feminist bias in their commentaries and do not present a Christian world view. Discussion between the instructor and student regarding content is encouraged. This book will be used frequently as a reference during the study of Where the Brook and River Meet. CC- Anthology Anne’s Anthology: Following the Footnote Trail $29.99Compiled by Margie Gray. Nearly 700 pages of poetry referenced in Montgomery’s works
Illustrated by
Patty Ann Martirosian
Anne's Anthology is a compilation of many of the pieces — primarily poetry — Lucy Montgomery mentioned in Anne of Green Gables . They were pieces Anne loved and ones with which the girls in Lucy Montgomery's audience were very familiar. However, many have been lost in obscurity and the allusions are no longer understood. Now these hard-to-find works are collected for your reference and enjoyment in the almost 700 pages of Anne’s Anthology. Most of the poems are given in full-text with notes. Portions of longer works are also included. Like a patchwork quilt made from scraps of loved clothing, Anne's Anthology exposes its readers to best-loved poems from a previous era. This book will be used as a reference during the study of Where the Brook and River Meet.
