I am trying to plan my daughters 9th grade year. This is what I am planning so far:
Math: Lial's Algebra 1 (w/Jann in Tx)
Science: Holt Biology through the WTM Academy
French I: WTM Academy
Writing: WWS 2 or EIW 9 & IEW Fix It Grammar
PE: Swim Team and other activities in between season
History: See Below Options
For history I am considering a couple options. She has done a lot of world history, and she really wants to study American history. Here are the options that I am considering.
1. Sonlight Core 100
2. US History (online class at Debora Bell)
3. WTMA U.S. History
4. The Enduring Vision Textbook on our own outling/notetaking (used in Debora Bell class)
5. American Stories Textbook on our own outling/notetaking (used in WTM online class)
6. Hakim U.S. History books w/Hewitt Syllabus and Tests
I already have her signed up for the online Algebra, Biology, and French class. I'm not sure if one more on line class would be too much. For the options other than Sonlight I plan to pick out literature and use Progeny Press guides. So far I am thinking The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Call of the Wild, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Their Eyes Where Watching God. I am still considering these titles though.
What do you think of my 9th grade plan? Is six credits enough for her ninth grade year, or should I add in health or art too? Which U.S. History option would you choose?
