TOG Y3 question for my 11th grader

[momteaches2]

Do your children read the 'shorter works anthology' and 'government' info off the CD or do you print it out? What about the poetics and frameworks info? Thanks in advance as I try to get this year planned out before we start back to school in 2 weeks!

It is A LOT to print.

 

My dd just read it all off the cd-rom.

My dd HATES reading off the computer -

 

She printed most of the government, except for a few of the longer ones. She didn't have Shorter Works (this was for Year 2, last year), and a friend had already printed out Poetics.

 

My rising 9th grader will have to read them on the computer -

 

Unless he wants to pay me for the ink! ;)

I printed them out for her last year and will print them out again this year (yr 4) and any other years. I just don't want her on the computer that much, especially since we are down to one for me and the kids. (The kids used to have a trickle down laptop for email and games.) BUT I also save all these printed things for the next 2 to use.

The government reading wasn't so much that reading on-line was a problem.

 

I'm planning on having them read the Shorter Works Anthology on the computer, too. But, I'm concerned because I suspect that there is more reading for this and now, I'll have two working on the R level.

 

Last year, I printed Poetics and Framework for them. I hear that for year 3, P&F is even longer. I haven't decided what to do! It's on my "things to research list": determine if P&F is different each year or not.

 

I agree that it is a PAIN to read it off the computer! And we will be a one-computer family this fall, too.
