I joined these forums in 2009 and over the years, have followed a number of useful threads. Is there a way to organize them by topic? Or to search for specific content within the threads I follow?

My dd and I started with WWE1 but could not continue due to school work and other issues.
We are now doing WWS 1 and she is able to cope well.
We started WWS1 without having done WWE. I think we started it when oldest ds was in 7th grade, but it may have been 8th. He used books 1 and 2 independently at the prescribed pace, and had great results.
OT: what does/did he do after WWS2?

As far as I know, it is basically just a cleaned up version of that, broken into four books with increasing difficulty and with more exercises and additional material.
Thank you.
I couldn't see the sample because the WTM Press web site asking me to login or register first. I'll check on Amazon.

I have never used Hake but we are using Grammar for the Well Trained Mind. It's somewhat cumulative, so what you could do is look at the "review" exercises and see if you think your child could handle them without explanation. Then skip the weeks prior.
There is a review after weeks 1-3, after weeks 4-6, weeks 7-9, etc.
To those who have seen it: did you compare it with the earlier Advanced Language Lessons? How different is it?

It seems to be a known anniversary update issue
From ZDNet
“In the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, version 1607, Microsoft removed Cortana's on-off switch. But it's still there, if you know where to look. Use this tweak to make Windows search strictly local.†http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-tip-turn-off-cortana-completely/
I am so sick of Windows 10's constant updates and the resultant changes to my computer settings, I am thisclose to switching to an iMac.

I am reading a book from an author who is lamenting the education in our country because people use to read about Odysseus and now our children are reading vampire stories. The author is a little harsh overall, but I am wondering how to have my 13 year old be able to read and understand literature that is harder to read and understand. It’s a brain muscle that I’m not sure how to exercise. I have him read books mostly from Sonlight selections but I’m not sure how to get him further into novels/material that is harder to understand . Suggestions on how to get him to the next level?

Below is some information on WWS I have found here on the forum and saved. This was written by someone else but I found it useful and decided to save a copy of it. Not sure if this is what you're looking for (probably not) but I thought it might help. You may want to copy and paste it on a Word document to make it easier to read. Hope this helps. :001_smile:
Thank you for sharing this. I had read this post that Martha had kindly compiled from the giant WWS questions thread. I want the PDF that SWB linked in post# 131 of that thread.

If you want to pm me with your email, I could scan mine and send it to you. It will be a couple days until I'm at home with downtime ;) but otherwise it's no problem.
Thank you!
I couldn't find this thread and posted an identical request last night.
I'll pm you my email address asap. :)

I have another question - which copia exercises are covered in WWS 1 and in which weeks?
-
SWB posted a scope and sequence for WWS 1 to 3 in post #131 of this thread: Answering questions about Writing With Skill
This was the document she linked: Topoi-expanded
I cannot find the document at that link now. If anyone has the original scope & sequence, can you please send it to me? I can PM you my email address.

I am not familiar with RS Geometry.
If dd is doing well with MM, and it is working well, I would continue with it. If there are any Prealgebra topics that MM doesn't cover, I would get a cheap textbook (like a used Lial's or Dolciani's) to supplement MM.
If you choose to use an online option, both Derek Owens and TabletClass have got good reviews here. You can preview both on Youtube. I prefer DO's voice over the teacher from TC but TC is more affordable esp. on sale.

I bought Bobbi Brown and MAC and both types have lasted for years. However, I later found I could also apply concealer with my fingertip and foundation with a basic makeup sponge and it looked just as good for daily use.
Other good (and more affordable) brush brands are Sephora and Sigma.

SWB had posted a PDF of the WWS Scope & Sequence when WWS1 came out. I can't find it any longer. Does anyone have it?

More like a neglected homeschooler who managed to rise above despite her abysmal educational upbringing, not because of it.
Yes, this is what is described in the article. Glad she got out of it, which she wanted.
-
I originally guessed it may have something to do with sports. I was wrong.
-
I think she's been spending time with the tv show (which I wish I could watch here) and needs to get back to writing!
I agree. I was hoping for the fourth book this fall but there is no news of it.

Where can I find this! Love Cormoron Strike books.
According to The Leaky Cauldron, it will be broadcast on Cinemax in June 2018.

Wow, I haven't read any of the authors mentioned on this thread, except Agatha Christie. Lots for me to check out. :)
OP, would you be interested in J K Rowling's crime thriller series featuring her detective, Cormoran Strike? She writes them under the pen name Robert Galbraith. There are three books in the series so far, and they are available as audio books. The first two books were dramatized by the BBC last month.

I have seen Lori D. talk about using Essential Literary Terms With Exercises, by Hamilton.
[whispering: I think that might be 8FillTheHeart or another WTMer who recommends that one, as I am unfamiliar with it ;)]
It was recommended by SWB in her High School Writing talk.

Google Docs, Google group Calendar, and I just found Google Keep for collaborative notes and lists.
Alternatives to Google are Dropbox, Todoist, and Evernote.
Slack is a communications app that young people use to collaborate on projects. Some companies have deployed it at work. An alternative is Skype.
ETA: Many YouTubers I follow use FinalCutPro for making videos.
Here is a list of apps one YouTuber, Thomas Frank, uses.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, I can link some of the inspiring videos and tools I've encountered in my program so far.Yes, I want to know more.
