Hi, I'm new to high school homeschooling can you tell? 😅 I've survived years of homeschooling just lurking on the forum and reading all the amazing info (thanks everyone!) but this year I'm stuck.
My 9th grader has been obsessed with Ancient Greece for years (thanks Percy Jackson!), so I'm very tempted to use Memoria Press, which we have never used before.
For history we're using https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/classical-studies/book-ancient-world/ which I hope is enough for a high school history credit, but maybe that's subject for another post.
But I'm not sure how to get a full English credit! I know she would love the Greek plays study as well as the Iliad and Odyssey study (links for reference: https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/classical-studies/greek-tragedies-complete-set/ and https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/classical-studies/iliad-odyssey-complete-set/). But what else do I need to add to make this a full year of english? She's already done Fix it Grammar.
So my questions are:
Do I need to add grammar? I don't personally think she needs it, but I'm scared she might also just forget everything without grammar practice.
Should I add composition with the Greek literature? If so, anyone has resource ideas for this?
And if I add composition then what would I call this course? Greek literature and composition? I feel like this is not a "classic" English course for high school and I'm not sure how colleges would feel about it. Again, hi, new to high school and freaking out!
Or should I just go with a whole year 9th grade English curriculum (I've been looking at Lantern English) and do Greek literature as an elective? I don't love this idea because she is interested in doing MP logic as an elective, but I'm open to opinions.
If anyone has done a similar course for a high schooler before or can help in any way it will be highly appreciated!
