We used both this year. We used Elegant Essay in the fall and are doing WttW this spring. EE was good if you needed your hand held, which I did, and if you dc needed specific instruction. Mine didn't need so much specific instruction as it offered, but they did need the specific instruction on writing a thesis statement. We finished it early.
WttW has been great. Again, I needed hand holding on how to teach how to write a literary analysis paper. WttW has done that for me. I've actually enjoyed going through the program with my girls. If you don't need the hand holding, you probably will be irritated by it. For us, it is doing a very thorough job.
EE's teacher manual is awful, but I needed it. I just think they should redo it to make instructions and where things are in the book more clear. WttW is much better.
My understanding was both curriculums were meant to be a year long? our homeschool co-op does both in one year.....it appears to be a semester for each? we are not joining again next year so I was going to do them at home still.......how did you fit both in together in one year?!
