In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we explore the theme of sacrifice across classic stories—from Charlotte’s Web to Anna Karenina—and how these examples shape students’ moral imagination. Discover how a well-crafted literature curriculum can help children understand true love, loss, and virtue. Whether you’re designing a literature curriculum homeschool program or teaching in a classroom, this episode will inspire you to see great books not just as stories, but as moral formation.
