Annie Laurie Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 It says in the description "for 8th grade and up". Do you all think this program is worthy of a .5 logic credit? What has the hive used for logic in high school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaLisa Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What has the hive used for logic in high school? I started to answer you earlier, but I haven't seen this book. My oldest three used Intro to Logic, Nance/Wilson for a .5 high school credit. I wish that I had used Traditional Logic I and II and am currently working through those right now to use next year.

Kathy in MD Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Since no one else has answered, I give you what little I know. I just bought the book over the weekend and haven't had a chance to review it in detail. But the woman at the convention said it was a .5 credit. I plan on adding some logic and thinking excercises, such as Mind Benders C and Think Ahead Games by Critical Thinking, because ds needs them. I may also add assignments on finding fallacies and poorly constructed arguments in "real" life. I'll just adjust the amount of extra activities if we're short on Carnegie hours. If you have any questions, ask them here and I'll try to answer them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in VA Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 My 7th grader is doing TA of A. She is finding it very straight forward, but I can believe that it would be worth a minimal 1/2 credit, especially if supplemented by some other logic materials.

I think you're refering to the first book in the series, The Art of Argument. The Argument Builder is the 2nd in the 3 book series and presumably focuses on combining logic with rhetoric. The final book, planned to come out this summer, will cover, I believe, formal logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
