SusanAR Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Does the "syllabus/schedule" include essay questions/analysis for the literature selections? I purchased a few 'study guides', but they only include comprehension questions. We have completed our readings for ancient history, but ds wants to continue. I haven't read the medieval selections, and won't have time until summer. I am glad, however, that the creative writing class ds is taking at the cc is covering a great deal of short story analysis. I've read the short stories and ds tells me what they have discussed in class-I've learned a lot! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know if I find anything out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Have you seen the sample course plans? Kolbe course plan samples We used these course plans for Kolbe literature and history, grades 9 and 11 level (ancients and medieval/renaissance). You're right- the study guides only include basic comprehension questions; these course plans put the texts in context and provide essay questions weekly and quarterly tests and grading keys. Each week included about a page of background information, literary elements, and questions to keep in mind while you're reading (much higher level thinking than those study guides, lol). Also there is a short explanation of what to look for in the student's essays (more like a list than a sample essay). ~Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
