mcilvoy6 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm trying to get next year figured out and thought I'd run this by all the veterans! Is it too much? Am I missing something? How often would you schedule each? This is what I have so far for my 9th grader: Math--LOF English--CLE Writing--?? I really want to put a heavy focus on it next year...any suggestions? Bible Study--Queen , or maybe summit..with daily devotion Spanish-Rosetta Stone Keyboarding- is this all year or 1 semester? Logic-The Fallacy Detective ( 1 lesson a week?) Science-Apologia Biology @ CO OP World Geography @ CO OP Yearbook or Art @ CO OP Nutrition @ CO OP PE wants to take piano Whew! I'm exhausted just looking at it! How would you fit this all in or what would you combine or take away? I really appreciate you taking the time to look over this with me! Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

Karenciavo Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi Michele, Welcome :001_smile: I don't think it's too much. Are you doing World Geography in lieu of some kind of history? Is it enough work to be considered a full credit course? What level Life of Fred will she be completing? As an aside: has anyone heard what the credit worthiness is of LOF? I'd like to know myself. The Fallacy Detective is definitely a once a week course if you simply follow the text. You could lump it in with whatever writing you choose and have her identify fallacies in newspapers, magazines, and/or online sources and perhaps write why what she identified is a fallacy, what type, etc. At the high school level I actually like The Art of Argument better because it includes some essay writing, defining of terms, and comprehension questions. There are samples on the site linked above. The Lively Art of Writing is a nice little book that goes through the steps of writing an essay, very easy to do in less than a semester and gives a good foundation. I also like The Lost Tools of Writing, but that is pretty teacher intensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 There are two of this same message up on the high school board. The other one has a few answers already. Karen may want to move her answer to that one, and maybe the OP could close this one by referring to the other one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
