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 or other copyrighted information 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.

The Link Buffet: Extension Activities
We provide this “Link Buffet” as a service to other homeschooling families. This is simply meant to be a reference site to pick and choose what you wish to do!
During the school year, we only know about broken links if we are notified by our readers, so please notify us of broken or outdated links, and we’ll get them fixed for you ASAP. If you’d like to add a great resource to this list, feel free to contact me or leave it in the comments!
These resources correlate to both the Foundations Guide 4th Edition and the Foundations Guide 5th Edition.
