Well. I don't get to come here too often, but today I was needing some input on 7 Sisters curricula. I haven't had much luck finding any opinions, but I came across this thread, so....
My 9th grader is my youngest child. My eldest homeschooled and used dual credit for high school. My middle two kids went to public school (#3 is a senior!). So, although she is the youngest of four, this is only my second time to homeschool for high school. Because I have a public-school-band-student senior, and I also work part-time, I needed things to be simple to implement--I hope that's what I ended up with!
Here's what she and I have planned:
English: 7 Sisters Introductory Guide to High School Writing
Growing with Grammar 7 (I know this is technically below grade level... but it is where she is in the series, and I'm okay with that)
Narnia Series w/ 7 Sisters guides
One Shakespeare play (probably The Merchant of Venice w/ Progeny Press Guide)
The Hobbit (guide to be determined)
Math: Algebra 1 at homeschool class day using Forester's
Science: Biology 1 at homeschool class day using Apologia
Social Studies: Semester 1--World Geography using Memoria Press Geography III
Semester 2--Texas History using My Texas 21 as a starting point and adding in additional research and writing to bring it to high school
level. I am seriously contemplating having her write a blog about what she learns for the writing portion of the class. PLUS
since we moved to San Antonio area, we are poised for several perfect field trips to round things out even further... Missions,
state capital, state history museum, Goliad, etc
Foreign Language: Latin using Visual Latin I and Lingua Latina
Fine Arts: Flute lessons and music theory, using Theory Time
Electives: Logic at homeschool class day, using Fallacy Detective and Thinking Toolbox (hopefully--the teacher specified grades 10-12, but I was told to
sign her up and he will determine whether he will allow 9th graders depending on how many request the class)
