Capt_Uhura Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Janice - How many times have I said I love you?? LOL. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm right there so I will definitely do as you suggest.  Capt Uhura  May I make a suggestion about Kane? If you pick up a copy and it doesn't immediately resonate with you, don't set it aside without flipping ahead to Part III. (Parts I & II required larger blocks of time that I had available when I first bought the book, so I put it aside and didn't come back to it for years. Big mistake.) Part III covers paragraphs and is much easier to handle with smaller chunks of time. I would recommend that you re-read chapter 24 of TWTM; grab Kane, a spiral notebook, and a pencil; and just begin. If you are teaching middle schoolers and are using traditional materials, chances are your kids are attempting to write expository paragraphs; you can probably put your new knowledge to work immediately. Continue on with the sections on the sentence and diction. Just work through the book on your own. If your experience mirrors mine, this book will help you become a better teacher.  Peace, Janice  Enjoy your little people Enjoy your journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 New Oxford Guide is listed in TWTM; see chapter 24.  http://www.amazon.com/New-Oxford-Guide-Writing/dp/0195090594/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2  Peace, Janice  I looked at the TOC for the white New Oxford Guide and the black Oxford Guide and they are identical. Is the black one (pub date 2000) a newer edition of the white one, New Oxford Guide (pub date 1994)? I was burned once before by buying a newer edition of a book and it was radically different from the edition I had checked out from the library. Much of the content (nearly all the sample essays) had been removed and placed on a website rather than in the book....although the formatting was much improved but I bought the book for the essays. I don't want to make that mistake again. The black Oxford Essential Guide has 128 more pages but is smaller in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) I've been reading through the free pages of WWS for a few days now. I am so impressed. When did direct instruction become a lost art? I appreciate the revival. Â I am also a WWE fan. I think some hs friends are sick of hearing about it. :) I did convince one friend to purchase WWE, although she bought a higher level than I recommended. She thought the lower level seemed 'too easy'. It wasn't, and they had to backtrack. Slow and steady, inch by inch, layer by layer is the way to go, ime. Â I appreciate the cohesiveness, the goal clarity, if you will, of these programs. One of my oldest children struggles with dyslexia and dysgraphia. WWE & WWS in the early years would have saved us some writing tears later, I think. Edited September 30, 2011 by LibraryLover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2GAboys Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 My 5th grader and I are about to finish week two in WWS. We use SOTW 4 for history. I am concerned about the outline activity from the activity guide and wanted to know what you would recommend since it does not appear to be level 1 outlining. I don't want to confuse him. Â DS is actually doing this outline activity as a group activity in a classroom of kids. (He attends a hybrid school for a couple of classes, twice a week). The teacher for 5th grade history (vol 4) is young and new, never heard of TWTM (before me) and may be open to changes. Â This school adopted SOTW this year and are, pursuant to the academic dean, clueless regarding how to teach it classically. (This I found out when I brought my huge disappointment to her regarding the fact that they were having the 5th graders write answers to the review questions by reframing the question in the answer instead of having the parent and student do the oral and written narration on home days). Â I have given them the crash course in your philosophy (I've taught all levels of FLL and 1-3 of WWE); they now say they see the "value in Bauer's suggestions" and said they will be making changes. Then the next week the outline was put into the curriculum. They are still having the 5th graders answering a set number of review questions in writing by reframing the question in the answer (except mine son-he is allowed to turn in narrations instead). This may be our last semester there as I fear they will start requiring Shurley compositions. I did loan them WWE last year when I found out about the change but I don't think the academic dean made the connection that SOTW teaches history through the development of writing skills (using classical methods). They may be realizing this now. We'll see what future changes there are. They have been very appreciative of all the info I have given them thus far. Â We love your materials and are looking forward to ALL as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibaker103 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) It could, but the New Oxford Guide covers much of the same material in more detail. I like the Rulebook for Arguments as an intro to rhetoric at the beginning of the stage--it's a gentle way to move into a new way of thinking--but once you're in the 11th and 12th grade years you can go straight to the New Oxford Guide and save time. SWB  My ds is currently in 10th grade and I have him currently working on ALL, WWS, IEW Medieval HBWL, Editor in Chief, and Word Roots. I would like to alter this to the following for 10th - 12th grades:  Logic - Traditional Logic 2 (1 semester) and Material Logic (1 semester) Editing - Editor in Chief or Write Source Daily Language Lessons Vocabulary - Combination of Word Roots, vocabulary.com, and Notebooking (TWTM/CW) Grammar - ALL, R&S 8, 9, and 10 Writing - WWS, Classical Writing Maximum/Cheria in 1 month (have up to 3 mos to complete), Herodotus (1 yr), Plutarch (1 semester), and Demosthenes (1 yr if available) or Kane/Corbett with They Say, I Say.  My ds is a fabulous creative writer and a good nonfiction writer but could be great if he did not struggle with notes, outlining, and organization of his papers. I do not think we will be able to stick with WWS because I think he will work faster than it becomes available. Is this a good plan for him? If Demosthenes is not available when he is ready should he start with Kane or Corbett? Is there anything I should change or double up on? We are homeschooling 6 weeks on and one week off year-round. Thank you so much for your advice! Edited October 2, 2011 by jibaker103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenoraddict Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 2) AVAILABILITY OF FUTURE LEVELS. I'm on schedule to finish one level per year. What this means is that future levels will be available in September of each succeeding year...as long as you're willing to work from manuscript/PDF copies that we send you by email until the printed books are finished. 3) INTENDED AGE/GRADE: Writing With Skill can be begun by any student who is writing at a fifth grade level or above.   In eleventh grade, have her start working through the Oxford Guide to Writing once per week in addition to WWS. In twelfth grade, have her work on the Oxford Guide to Writing 3x per week. If you want her EXTRAORDINARILY well prepared, add in THEY SAY, I SAY: THE MOVES THAT MATTER IN ACADEMIC WRITING, which is one of the clearest and most useful guides I've found to the peculiarities of university-level composition. (I'll be adding it into future editions of TWTM.)  SWB  Another mother of an 8th grader here... SWB, if you're on track to finish one/year, then can we be greedily optimistic about WWStyle 1 being available when our kiddos hit their Senior year? If so, would you still recommend New Oxford once/week in 11th grade and 3x/week in 12th? Yes, this is years in the future, but if I don't ask now, I'll forget to ask later.  Thanks,  Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrranch Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Thank you so much for this thread, the S&S, and the ability to have WWS to work through because I think this has helped me to better understand how to use the recommendations in TWTM for the rhetorics stage.:001_smile: Â My 15 dd and I sat down and discussed what was expected of her and she assured me she felt comfortable taking notes and keeping a vocabulary journal as she reads her literature. (She practiced this last year with a co-op class on British literature as I mentioned in previous thread.) Â It appears to me she has the ability to process the "ideas" of the rhetoric stage but still needs help with some of the skills from the logic stage. So, due to her age and the fact that she is reading the Great Books already, I am trying to find a way to continue with rhetoric without holding her back just because of poor word choice or some missing grammatical element in a sentence. She can summarize and she can do one level outlines, but could use practice. She is not having any trouble with ALL but is not quite ready to handle the grammar in R&S 8. Also, she feels WWS is too simple for her but I plan to move quickly through the areas she has obviously mastered and slow down to work on the skills where she could use a little help. Â Would you please check my proposed plan for the rest of the year based on what I outlined above and let me know if we should change anything? Any input would be appreciated. I should note that she has no desire to follow a degree in the humanities in college. She is interested in animal science production or industry right now but loves to read the classics. Thank you! (I know this contains elements other than writing, but it helps me to see the big picture.) Â 1. Finish Vocabulary from the Roots UP study and continue vocabulary "Word Study" proposed in TWTM. Â 2. WWS1 until we finish it. Then, when WWS2 is available, we'll work through areas as needed. Â 3. Rhetoric-Finish Art of Argument and then work through the Oxford Guide. (I was waiting to use logic where it was scheduled in CW. We're going ahead with it now.) Â 4. Language-Finish ALL then R&S 8, 9, 10. Read Elements of Style as proposed in TWTM. Â 5. Great Books-Follow TWTM for Great Books notebook. WWS1 appears to help guide through the research paper in the spring. Â 6. Continue McGuffey oral reading as her "speech therapy". Reading this out loud and using it for dictation has seemed to really help, along with everything else we are doing. She is part of a livestock judging team which will help her with debate skills by giving "oral reasons". Â Thank you in advance!!

Susan Wise Bauer Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi Susan,Just wondering if you might have missed my question in post #129? I understand if you do not want to get into comparing WWS to IEW, but if you could just answer my question about using a book on paragraph writing, I would appreciate it. Â Thanks! Â You would not need to use a separate guide to paragraph writing, no. The outlining and rewriting exercises teach students how to construct paragraphs properly.

After we put it into action we'll see...  I like the idea of using Oxford Guide and Elements of Style to teach her the skill of using reference materials and taking notes from them. However, I'm wondering if there will be overlap especially when used in conjunction with R&S. Plus, I'll be fitting in WWS as it is available only using the sections where she needs extra practice.  Again, thank you and I hope I'm not being selfish by asking another question!

robsiew Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Susan,  We are on Week 8, Day 4 and I'm a little confused. There is supposed to be a "Space and Distance Words/Phrases" sheet, but I can't fine one anywhere. Here are the directions as written on Week 8, Day 4:   Pull out your list of Time and Sequence Words. This is not an exhaustive (complete) list, and many of the words on it can work in more than one way (if, for example, you wanted to explain that a tree stood three feet to the right of a house, you could say, Ă¢â‚¬Å“The tree was next to the houseĂ¢â‚¬ or Ă¢â‚¬Å“The tree was to the right of the houseĂ¢â‚¬ or even Ă¢â‚¬Å“The tree was a short distance from the houseĂ¢â‚¬). But the categories on the list will give you a starting place as you write your descriptions. Before you go on with the next step, look up from your paper and choose one object or piece of furniture in the room. Now look down your lists of Space and Distance Words/Phrases and count how many of them could accurately describe your relationship to that object.  Did you really mean "Time and Sequence Words" list in the first sentence or is that a typo? I'm just kind of confused since I don't see a list at all for the Space and Distance Words. Thanks for any help you can give us!  We are both LOVING WWS! My ds has never said he enjoys writing (he loathed dictation from WWE!), but for the first time this year he said he not only tolerates it, he actually enjoys it! Thanks for giving a non-writing kid the TOOLS to learn to write! And the teacher's guide is just heavenly!

We're hoping to have printed books within six weeks. Here's the link:  http://www.welltrainedmind.com/store/language-arts/writing/writing-middle-grades.html  Moderator  I went and purchased and downloaded mine as soon as I saw the notice on your Facebook page. I did notice that the parent guide came with 10 total downloads, don't get me wrong I'm not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but thought it odd since all other things I've ever bought as PDFs from PHP always came with 5.

TC5 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 We've barely gotten into WWS. The student workbook is not consumable, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I apologize if this has been asked already, but could WWS be used in grades 9-12 if your student is a weak writer? Would this be enough by itself to prepare them well for college writing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 We've barely gotten into WWS. The student workbook is not consumable, is it? Â We're in about week six. It isn't really consumable, but there are some sections where an outline is given and the student is asked to circle or cross out items. We have copied those pages to use as sheets for marking up. Â Otherwise they are sets of directions or readings to outline, but not really workbook pages (not at all like WWE or FLL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekmom Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Does anyone know Peace Hill Press's price for the 2 WWS books (not the download)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kckamy Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does anyone know Peace Hill Press's price for the 2 WWS books (not the download)? Â $32.95 + $28.95 = $61.90 Â If you pre-order before Dec. 1, you will receive 10% off and free shipping which brings the total to $55.71.
