LoriM Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I need a spring fever punch-in-the-arm. :) What are YOU reading and studying? I'm teaching both a life science and unit-based middle school science series right now, so I've been studying a ridiculous amount of biology as well as planning my spring garden, and the fourth quarter botany unit. I'm a plant-killer by nature, so I'm trying to overcome generational bondage here. It's Lent, so I've chosen to study "justification" as the light-theology topic for the season (LOL). I'm plowing right into the debate between N. T. Wright and John Piper (and landing quickly on the "Wright" side, despite always enjoying a good Piper book). I've also been working my way through The Weight of Glory again, a meaty CS Lewis that I never tire of. Finally, I have some learning-challenged middle school math students, and I'm pulling out every trick in my book, but am finding the "tricks" are not short-cuts to hard work, and try as I might, I'm not convincing them of the necessity of hard work in mathematics. Spring fever could be encroaching there as well. So, I'm rereading every math-teacher bible I've ever used to good results, and basically writing a special curriculum for my lagging lot. I am exhausted by fractions, decimals and percents. GRIN. So, what are YOU reading? What passions are you pursuing? Art? Music? Theology? Drama? Dogma?

Guest Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 What an extremely nice question! (And you sound VERY busy.) Homeschooling science has made me interested in science writing after a lifetime of ignoring it. I have been reading book after book about the Big Bang, the cosmos, evolution, Darwin's life, Einstein and understanding physics (which I don't), and am currently reading "E=mc squared: a biography of an equation." Also just finished a book on Dorothy Wordsworth, William Wordsworth's sister; "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell; and "Crazy Like Us," a fascinating study of how the U.S. is influencing -- not always for the better -- the way the rest of the world thinks about mental illness and how to "cure" it.

BettyL Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Reading classics ~ I've finished Fahrenheit 451, The Scarlet Letter and am now enjoying The Scarlet Pimpernel. Science ~ Working my way through The Handbook of Nature Study by Comstock. I am taking notes as I go, planning for a three week camping trip this spring. Bible ~ Studying the book of James. History ~ Viewing Stephen Ambrose's documentary Lewis and Clark: Voyage of Discovery while reading his book published by National Geographic with same title. This is in preparation for my daughter's next history unit. Gardening ~ We will be moving to a new house in the near future, so I too am planning a garden. My dd and I will start seeds soon! This is my first year of home education and I am falling in love with learning all over again! It seems that I now have a purpose for learning, someone with whom to share my discoveries! ;) Edited February 20, 2010 by BettyL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have always loved to learn. Last summer we went over prehistory and evolution with my daughter. I took a great interest in this topic. Today two awesome books just arrived on Evolution and Prehistoric Life to add to our collection. I've been reading these today. Other than that, I'm enjoying teaching myself world history, learning Latin, expanding my vocabulary, and reading lots of literature (as well as books on how to read literature). I just started deliberately bettering my self education last month, and started a blog even. The past week I've been reading about adoption and attachment, as we'll be adopting an older child this year. So my "self-education" didn't get too far this week.

Ester Maria Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm reading and rethinking lots of Bible recently. Not sure why. I'm not religious at all, but for some reason I've been returning to that text lately. Also, some Dante scholarship for the theses I'm helping with. The stuff the kids do also tend to require quite some reading and preparation from my side lately (literature, philosophy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tress Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I read Oedipus Rex and Agamemnon and am now reading Herodotus - Histories (WTM 9th grade recommendations).....man, Herodotus (bla, bla) is going to take awhile. I'm busy with Analytical Grammar, I'm really enjoying it! I'm working my way through a Dutch high school Latin course, it is going quiet well, although the amount of vocabulary is holding me back. Grammar, no problem, but I seem to have lost my speed with memorizing vocab :lol:. And when I'm too tired to study Latin at night, I read some Lingua Latina.

Moira in MA Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Have you thought about getting the Teaching Company's course on St Augustine. It really enhanced my understanding of that text and made it way more enjoyable to read. Also, which translation are you using? Some are better than others. Dds and I used 3 different translations when we studied it, Maria Boulding's translation was the one we preferred. Other than that, I'd suggest you allow yourself not to like it. It would be a dull world if we were all alike. hth ~Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira in MA Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 What are YOU reading and studying? Thanks for asking. I'm trying to finish up German 2 (OSU German Online) -- dds are way ahead of me -- German IV and III respectively but I'll get there. I'm slowly working my way through the Teaching Company course Art Across the Ages and have just finished reading the presenter's book Our Sacred Signs. It was really interesting and I learned a lot. I finished another Teaching Company course History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts last month. I picked this up to work through the first lectures for background to Shakespeare's Henry IV Part I that my girls' Shakespeare company is staging next month. Since I'm British everyone expects me to have this history at my finger tips -- school in England was a long time ago. Anyway it was so engaging that I just kept going. Finally, I am on the third state of my quest to read a book from each state: Missouri author Evan S. Connell's Mrs Bridge. I need to pick up the pace on this but keep getting distracted by other books. :D ~Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 LOL How could I forget? I am doing Pimsleur German. I'm actually up to lesson 23!!! I am very proud of myself.

Colleen in NS Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm reading (slowly) The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila, using WEM. I have sort of given up on my KF History "list of facts" project, but maybe will take it up again sometime... I read through WEM last week and marked up all the parts that tell me what to do and what questions to ask myself for each genre. I started reading through Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, doing the same thing I did with WEM (highlighting the parts that explain or tell me what to do). I'm up to the chapter where the actual exercises begin, and I'm understanding everything so far (yay!). I'm reading HOAW off and on (and want to buy HOMW soon), and the Self-Teaching Guide to Astronomy off and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I want to succeed in reading Russian authors. Right now I'm reading The Gambler by Dostoevsky hoping that I can launch from this to his Brothers Karamazov. I started Brothers years ago and could not get through it. I got so bogged down in the names and the variations of each name that I could not keep the characters straight. But Brothers is so rich in ideas (one particular scene I love is where Ivan(?) is discussing what it means to love ones neighbor) making me want to succeed in reading it. I've listened to Crime and Punishment on CD which was probably easier than reading it. From Dostoevsky, I'll move on to Tolstoy (War & Peace, and maybe one of his philosophical works). All this while I'm trying to get all my continuing education completed before July:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian (a lady) Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Well, I've just started the Liping Ma book on teaching mathematics. I'm finding that it raises lots of questions in my mind like how possible it is to compare two disparate educational systems. I've also been teetering on the edge of teaching my kids beginning algebra, so I'm poking through a variety of math texts to help solidify in my mind what the mathematical statements relate to in the real world. I am about half way through Pilgrim's Progress, but I've stalled and need to pick it up again. Superfreakenomics and The Road to Serfdom for political/economics insight (Serfdom is really good, but I can only absorb a couple pages a day). For fun, the most recent Elizabeth Peabody mystery and a book from the Patrick O'Brian Aubery/Maturin series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian (a lady) Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I know what you mean about names confusing you. I remember reading half way through The Grapes of Wrath and never realizing that Rose of Sharon and Rosasharn were the same character. Russian books are great candidates for character lists with first, last and patronymic. Maybe even notes on nick names. Good luck. I had longed for years to read through Anna Karenina. Actually had that on my list of things to do when I was out of the military. About half way through I realized that I really didn't like Anna much.

Nan in Mass Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 More things keep occurring to me LOL. I've been studying a bit of recorder. I have to get better at those high sharps and flats. I learned some new rests, too. The William Byrd piece we played Fri. had some of the symbols for really long ones, and some extra long notes, also. It was in cut time, with no measure bars, and some syncopation. I didn't do very well on it GRIN. I also just read Outlier and Blink and next I'll read Tipping Point. Obviously, this year I could have done that reading challenge that required that you study something in depth. This is always a time of reading non-fiction for me. Soon, the peacewalking season will start and I'll stop reading. When we are sailing in the summer, I read fiction. In the fall I am busy and not reading much again, except to go to sleep, once I stop reading every second to recover from the shock of moving off the boat. I've discovered a lovely way to make Emma last and last - listen to it in French as you are going to sleep. I can listen to each chapter over and over because I only get about half the words, since the reader goes fast. Let's see. What else? I'm working on how to improve my memory. If only I could find a way to aquire an eidedic eidetic? memory. My youngest wants to do that, too. Kim's game is the only thing I can think of. I've been reading bits of writing books, to try to figure out how to teach my youngest. And I'm in the middle of reading Rupunzel in Latin. And in the middle of MacBeth with my mother and son. -Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ester Maria Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I got so bogged down in the names and the variations of each name that I could not keep the characters straight. But Brothers is so rich in ideas (one particular scene I love is where Ivan(?) is discussing what it means to love ones neighbor) making me want to succeed in reading it. You might wish to try keeping a notebook with you and writing down the variations of the names, as well as drawing connections between the characters, for Dostoevsky. He reads much, much smoother that way for people who aren't speakers of Slavic languages and thus don't instantly "get" who is who. (Just don't apply the same technique on Tolstoy's "War and Peace" :lol: So many superficial characters are part of the point of the work, and you can freely miss the subtleties of some relations between them or nicknames, BUT, Dostoevsky works on the principle of a few major characters, and it's really good to get those down very clearly.) The Brothers Karamazov is an amazing work, it's my favorite Dostoevsky, you can really hear the dialogue of ideas in there. If you're into more theoretical approach and understanding Dostoevsky better, I highly recommend Bakhtin's works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
