Tapestry of Grace questions!!


Recommended Posts

I am in need of a Classical program for DS16. I want something that will lay everything out for him. I have looked at the website and it confuses me. I can't find where it lists the books required.

Also, how is the writing instruction? Do you feel this program prepares the student for post secondary?

Sorry for all the questions.

 

Thanks

I am very new to TOG. Here is how I figured out the books. Go to the Lamp Stand Press Resource List page and click on "Primary Resource List...."

 

OR

 

Go to BookShelf Central and try their search feature. You will be able to choose the year, unit, etc. Each book description includes the year(s), units, and how many weeks it is used. Very handy when you are trying to figure out what to borrow from the library and what you want to have in your home.

 

In regards to writing, I would highly suggest attending their free Writing Workshop (l and ll) webinars online.

Gee, I feel like I've been away for ages--hockey, hockey, and still more hockey. In my break here, I've gone back to TOG with my just-turned 15 yos...I need the accountability TOG provides...it has a strong writing component, with practice in reports and essays (what my guy needs)...also, you might want to check the website and download one of their three-week samples...

We switched to TOG this year and loved it! It is a little confusing at first, and I looked at it for a couple of years and resisted the change because it seemed too hard to figure out. However, they have lots of explanations and once you see it (good idea to try the sample units), it makes more sense. The one part you would need to be involved in is the weekly discussions. This is really what makes it in my opinion. They can do their reading and questions independently, but the discussion pulls it all together.
