Copywork

Here is a list of what copywork I have so far for the Explorers/Renaissance time periods. There are also copywork sentences given in Time Traveler's as well, that we're using.  They are basically one sentence biographies for the various explorers.  Since I am trying to have dd write one sentence a day, I went looking for more copywork sentences.  Some of these I've borrowed from other people's lists - Trivium Academy comes to mind.

Explorers/Spain

"We are on a crusade.  We are marching as Christians into a land of infidels.  We seek not only to subdue boundless territory in the name of our Emperor Don Carlos, but to win millions of unsalvaged souls to the True Faith." – Hernando Cortes

Reformation

Renaissance

“It is a press, certainly, but a press from which shall flow in inexhaustible streams...Through it, God will spread His Word. A spring of truth shall flow from it: like a new star it shall scatter the darkness of ignorance, and cause a light heretofore unknown to shine amongst men. - Johann Gutenberg

The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves. - Leonardo Da Vinci

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art. - Leonardo Da Vinci

In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. - Galileo Galilei

I've loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. - Galileo Galilei

Elizabethan Age

“I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.”
