hisacorn Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Good Morning! I'm looking for a high school literature program/book {beginning?} where you can use most any book you want to study and can apply the lessons? Am I making sense? :p Thanks!

historymatters Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 'Teaching the Classics' from Center for Lit. meets that criteria, though it's not made up of "lessons," but Socratic questions to engage in with your child with any book. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milknhoney Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 'Teaching the Classics' from Center for Lit. meets that criteria, though it's not made up of "lessons," but Socratic questions to engage in with your child with any book. This looks like something that might fit what I'm looking for when I do high school literature next year. However, it looks very similar to Well Educated Mind, which I already have. How is this different? Is it worth the purchase of the seminar? I admit I never actually made it through ALL the steps in WEM myself. I'm afraid to use it with ds because I fear I won't follow through on the whole thing. So something similar but with more hand-holding would be good.

Plagefille Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have Teaching the Classics and Reading Strands. Both are good. I use Teaching the Classics often. I haven't really used the other one. I did not buy the seminar for Teaching the Classics, just the book. I heard him speak at a conference before, so I figured I could survive without the seminar. I use the questions in the guide for discussion and for essay topics. I have inly read the Well Educated Mind once, borrowed from the library, and I cannot remember much. So I can't help you with knowing the similarities between it and the other programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisacorn Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Thank you all!I do already have Reading Strands, so I'll begin with that. But the Teaching the Classics looks great, too, and I may invest in that later. Thanks again! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymatters Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Beth, keep an eye out for used copies in the classifieds here at WTM and also Vegsource and Homeschool classifieds. I was able to get mine for about $50. There's also a scratch n' dent sale going on now. https://www.centerforlit.com/scratch-n-dent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
