Hi I'm Rachel, owner of A Charlotte Mason Plenary.
Plutarch just got a whole lot easier and a lot more fun!
I absolutely LOVE Plutarch and have taught the subject to teens in our local CM co-op for many years.
I write Plutarch Guides that help students "get into" Plutarch and enjoy the "Grand Conversation" by adding annotations to Plutarch's text.
Here are some of my resources regarding Citizenship at A Charlotte Mason Plenary:
- Plutarch Guides
- Plutarch Picture Studies
- Plutarch Resources Pages (free):
- CM Subjects Resources Page for Citizenship (free)
Feel free to ask questions!

My students loved the Julius Caesar guide last year! All the parents are purchasing Publicola from you this year and we'll begin studying in October! I hope you keep releasing the guides as we use them!
Do you have a suggestion of which life to start with? We've put off Plutarch for some time, but I'm considering trying this year again. Thanks!
@mary-slone Hi! Thanks for asking! I truly love Plutarch and I encourage everyone to give Plutarch a chance! I always recommend starting with Plutarch's Life of Publicola bc it's a VERY fascinating story and it has some really interesting connections to our modern-day lives. Most kids really enjoy the story!
Also, I created The Annotated Plutarch Series to make Plutarch more accessible for both parents and students. It uses an easier (and more accurate) translation than the one by North. So I would definitely encourage you to give it a go! You can definitely do this 🙂
However, if you would like to outsource the subject, I am teaching a Plutarch class in The Charlotte Mason Co-op this fall and we're studying Publicola! Here's a few links if you'd like to look into that option:

And please let me know if you have any questions!
