My son is taking it as an online class too, at Landry Academy. Is that where your son will be? -

Thanks for your replies! I signed ds up for an online class at Landry Academy (homeschool Science Academy.com) It was one of the less expensive ones I could find ($608 per 2-semester subject) and looks really good. I'll have to buy one textbook to use at home, and the teaching, test taking, grading, etc is all done online.

Have any of you had your students complete Algebra 2 before starting Geometry? If so, was it successful? We're using Chalk Dust for math, and I don't see any obvious downfalls, but thought I'd ask. Science scopes/sequences seem to favor Algebra 2 either before or alongside Biology.

The Teaching Company's Basic Math??

I saw this at Christian Book and thought it looked good. Anyone used it? Here's the snippet from CBD: Literature is so much more than a collection of terms and assignments; recognizing that the value of literature is not in the "practical" realm, but in the realm of ideas and beauty and being, Literature Alive brings students the tools to get at the deepest levels of writing. Teaching students a variety of approaches to a piece, as well as providing them creative outlets for addressing how it has affected them, students will learn the basics of literary criticism and how to apply it. Lessons include sample lessons based off of a book with an introduction, procedure (including references to any reproducibles), reading, objectives, questions to ask, related assignments, and questions based on the primary theme. Thematic concepts covered include context (biographical, historical, anthropological, religious, etc.), classification, the writer's tools (including tone, figures of speech & symbols), themes and ideas, elements of a work, reactions to the text, comparisons and more. Over 60 reproducible forms encourage engaged writing, as well as imaginary maps within literature, excerpts, and response exercises are included. 263 indexed pages, softcover. High School. Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much! -
If my rising 10th grader wanted to do a semester of Sociology, then a semester of Psychology, what would you call that class? I'm considering this, instead of an entire year of both... he is just wanting to get his feet wet in this. Thanks! PS~ we would be using Homeschool Psych, and not sure about which Sociology text yet.
