I'll try one more time. :)

Anyone? Pam

Anyone ever use this.... Rex Barks: Diagramming Sentences Made Easy Reviews? Pam

I did some IEW with my older dd years ago. I don't remember doing a SWI. I think we only went by the TWSS together. Then I just purchased again for my 10, 12, & 14 year old boys. I got them the SWI B and the TWSS for me. We were all watching our parts of the program. I really don't know if you can do the SWI without the TWSS. I didn't do it enough to find out. I hope someone more experienced in it chimes in. I know they're out there! :) Pam

How much does it cost to ship to Australia? I have mine for sale. :) Pam

I resurrected it. :) So did you think IEW was not easy to use? In what ways? What was different about it's alignment for ACT & SAT? Pam

Such a lot to think about. I might still go with it for the 'no pressure' right now, and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing. Pam

How did it go with IEW? Looks like you are using EIW now. Can you do a comparison? Pam

Thanks for chiming in. Love to hear success stories!! Pam

I am holding on to my original. We do use them here and there. I have Cassette tapes of Dave Marks 'teaching' levels 1-4. I know level 1 still has a cassette tape with it (probably CD now :) ), but I don't see anywhere where you can get levels 2-4 anymore. I had thought of selling them, but there are just some things I can't part with. :) Pam

Thank you for sharing your schedules! Pam

Mine's getting long under ware for hunting, etc. Some trapping supplies a ladder tree stand viewer to see check his pictures from his trail camera while in the woods food plot seed (to feed deer) and he wants paint for his lawn tractor

Not to try to hijack the OP, but my one son, who was VERY bright, told me, when he was an adult, he was about 15 before he didn't have trouble any more deciphering between the written digits 11 and 12. I never knew! Pam

So MOH III & IV are not accepted as American History because they are about the world chronologically and specifically American History? Pam

Or anyone else. I am thinking ahead. We will be ready for American History next year. I was thinking of MOH for our to be 8th & 9th graders, but I've read that you'd have to do another in depth study of American History if you go that route. What did you do? Pam

Fix It! I think you could get a lot of what you are looking for in it. Pam

... History for 7th-8th grade? *You (preparing &/or teaching)... In a day? In a week? *Your child? In a day? In a week? Pam

Selling all of my BP if anyone is interested. :) Pam

NOPE! Not gong to happen! How much time would it take to do SOTW (we do have the audio) and pick and choose AG pages for 10 year old? AND MP Famous Men with Miller's Story of the Middle Ages with older 2 (12 & 14)? I am thinking The Book of the Middle Ages by Mills would be a little harder? Could these be done in 30 min./day, I could alternate helping them with Math or Lit., which they are good at doing more independently. (The 2 older boys do the same EIL and read and discuss together.) We can choose from any of the books I already have from Biblioplan and read at our own pace, not worrying about the time frame or 'blocks' to check off. I read out loud to everyone at night. Does this sound do-able? OR What would you change? Pam

For mine, it ALWAYS worked to make them 'say' the sound as you write it, and when reading it say it out loud. When they say the sound /b/ their lips make a line-- the line comes first. When they say the sound /d/ their tongue is curved in their mouth-- the curve comes first. Our boys never had a problem after that lesson. Pam

This is so true with a lot in school/life! Pam

OKAY! I've had a restful weekend. I listed all of my options and looked at what I have on hand and samples I could view. I had already printed out notebooks for the 3 boys of the Biblioplan pages (Cool History, Maps, Timelines and Giants of the Faith) with nice dividers for each unit. I have all of the extra reading books we planned to use. It looked all so overwhelming. Then I 'searched the Hive' :) I found how others use BP. I saw some daily and weekly schedules. I looked at one week of the Family Guide. And it didn't look as bad as I saw it during my panic attack. We are going to give it a shot this week and see what happens. I was seeing that putting my own ideas together could be worse than 'checking off a box' that is already planned out. I just need to be able to know my limits and leave out what doesn't fit into our busy life. With farming, family (including 19 grandchildren :) ), hunting, home business, church, school, working at a horse ranch..........SO MUCH TO DO!!! :) We are trying to fit all of our other subjects in, too. I get them all up at 6 and the day flies from there! I'll try to report back next week.... Pam

I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but I can find anything pairing these up. Pam

Do you make your own pages? Pam

I have read some differences about the actual texts, but which GUIDES do you prefer for 7th-8th grade? (thinking about Middle Ages right now) I know Greenleaf does not have an answer key, but are the open ended questions better for discussion than using MP Guides with answers, which I have read are just fact questions/answers?
