I have been thinking of changing the focus of our TOG studies by putting more emphasis on Literature. I have been toying with the idea of using LToW for years, once I read the Circe thread I knew it was time to take the plunge. So now I have LToW and TOG sitting here and I have having trouble deciding how to marry the two.
If you use TOG along with LToW, how do you structure your studies? Do you use the Lit questions in the SAP? Do you use the Frameworks and Poetics? Do you just work through LTW and just cover the basics of who the author is, and what the historical setting is and then just do the ANI?
If you don't use TOG, what do your literature studies look like?

Our family of 7 survived quite well with one bathroom, now we share a house with the in-laws. We have 2 full baths and a toilet in the unfinished basement and we now are 9 in this house. Works fine.

Your choice, either would work....or both. If your regular onions are really strong, I'd leave them out.

Laurie I am so happy that you are well! I am very sorry for you loss and thank you for sharing in such a public way. I have two friends who have fought bc and are also doing well. I think that both of them would liked to have known in advance if their hair loss could be permanent. I think the re-growth of hair is a milestone for cancer survivors, ((hugs)) that you cannot have that milestone.

Yes. We used it this school year. The more we did the more they liked it.

We love it! I try to coordinate it with our Tapestry studies, we watch a lesson and then discuss it. I just picked up her American history video as well. Prof. Carol is so passionate about music that it makes the lessons fun for my children.
-
Would you share your list? We are probably going to do something similar. I have never studied dystopian lit, and am planning to study this summer to prep for the fall.

Dh and I were both 40 when our last dd was born. We lost one after that and dh would have been 43. He would still love to have more.

This fall I'll have a 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 11th. I this this coming year could be more challenging than this past.

If that is the case then I would look for ways to incorporate math into everyday life. Can your husband help by playing math games or just any games as a family? I don't even necessarily mean board games just fun number play or everyday life math like measuring or reading mathy picture books. I found that having good number sense is a good way for my dc to understand math better.

I have 5 dc, and each one does math differently. My oldest needs to take things slowly at her own pace. We tried many programs and approaches to math until we found one that fits for her. She was in 5th grade and I had her start MUS from the beginning. She is in high school now and though she may not be "caught up", but she understands what she is learning. She will graduate with all the math credits she needs to go to college.
Dc#4 gets math. He does has completed 1.5 MUS books a year and has caught up to his sister, dc#3 who also works at a different pace.
Math is really a developmental thing. Mastery and understanding is more important than the number on the book. I have learned that the hard way. When I pushed a child(at the time I didn't see it as pushing and thought I was trying not to) it resulted in dc#3 completely shutting down. I also stared him from the beginning withMUS and now he is "ahead". I now follow my children's cues and math is much more successful for everyone.

I'm 47 and I can hear it.

I also have had very forceful vomiting followed by bleeding. Ds is 8 and sleeping peacefully right now in bed. Try not to worry, you probably bruised your cervix.

I have met some amazing friends at homeschool conferences including some people from this board. By deciding to attend HEAV in Va, I was able to meet a very dear friend and spend some time with SWB, have lunch with Voddie Baucham, and get a chance to really see things I might want to purchase. I was sold on AG by attending the author 's workshop and have picked up some great resources that I would not have know about. I also like to hear speakers that challenge me and helpe to focus on the big picture.
I am hoping to go to CT. I am looking forward to seeing SWB, the Sommervilles, and I plan to spend a lot of time at the CIRCE booth. I'm still debating if I will go to ENOCH.
Maybe I'll see you there!

I have searched for them and have had no luck finding any. I wonder if they didn't record them.
-
I joined as well and agree about making it readable to members only.
-
I see it as sometimes real, sometimes fake, and always forbidden. That is why I never watch shows like that.
:iagree:

How does LToW incorporate literature? I didn't realize that there was any type of lit component until "the thread"
-
I know this group has been quiet lately, but as I have been feeling the need to focus more on literature than history, the Circe thread was timely.
Has anyone thought about how to pursue truth and beauty, how to focus on the heart and mind of the student and still use TOG? I might not be really clear here about my question, but I want to find a way to take what I am learning from the lectures and incorporate it into our studies. I find I get caught up in the curriculum and not pursuing wisdom truth and beauty. I'm losing my student in the pursuit of getting all the work done , checking off the boxes. KWIM?
-
I want to do this, and we have stepped back from our history centered Tog studies since I have listened to the thread lectures. I am trying to understand how to make these principles and ideas work for my high school student.
-
I am hoping LToW will help with this! I have been putting off purchasing it for two years and I feel my 10th grader has missed so much by my floundering on how to teach writing/lit well. The Thread and this social group have helped me to remember what and where my focus should be. Thank you for continuing this discussion!

I don't know what the largest fine I have ever paid, but yesterday I paid $12 in fines, $1.25 to the parking meter and since the meter expired 5 min before we came out of the library , I now have a $ 25 parking ticket to pay! Amazon is starting to look good again!
LToW/TOG users, how do you do your lit studies?
