  1. Real horror scares me to death, but I also had no issue with Master's Sun. :) I saw the ad for Always on dramafever too and am going to check it out.
  2. English Lessons Through Literature :) That would be my pick as well. WWE worked fine, but we like ELTL better. With my 1st grader I just help her choose her copywork from our read aloud and she knows a few basics like beginning with a capital letter and ending with punctuation.
  3. I also felt like a fly on the wall. Your posts describing how you teach writing at this stage really make sense now.
  4. We are loving Bushy too! 8, I was rereading some of your posts on writing and just wanted to repeat that I would love to buy future levels of TC. :) The instruction is just so clear that I would love some more for introductions and conclusions, essays etc.
  5. The first drama I watched was Queen Seonduk which was epic in every way. Unfortunately, that included an epically tragic ending! Then I watched Bad Guy. Ooh, I hate those writers. They made me think it was all going to be resolved happily and then they killed the guy in the last 5 minutes. I will never forgive them, lol!
  6. I'm already married to a hot Latin man so the flower boys just make me laugh :) I love Kim Tan's pink fuzzy cardigan in Heirs, lol! I figure they must be really good actors if even I want the girl to fall in love with their character. Moon, Google tells me that Korean culture is very conservative about what is acceptable affection in public. Is that true?
  7. I love her super fast life plan, lol! And I will never forget how to say meat in Korean after that drama. I like the scene where the kids say, "Daddy, buy meat!" over and over. I don't think I've seen Flower Boy Next Door mentioned. It has Park Shin Hye and my favorite way for the couple to meet. I won't give it away, but it is hysterical!
  8. Us too. :) I printed out dd's student pages on our laser printer so I wouldn't have to flip back and forth on the ipad and that worked great. I was ok reading the font on an ipad mini, but I don't have any vision issues.
  9. Starting tomorrow, so excited! DD9 wants to continue to read the literature in ELTL, which is excellent, and she will continue to add to her commonplace book.
  10. I hate having to pick a new drama after finishing a really good one! My Love From Another Star is really good. I love the episode where she texts and calls the guy all night after he breaks up with her. The guy is so cerebral and the girl is such a spaz so it makes for hilarious scenes. The Master's Sun was really good too. Hong sister's for the win. :)
  11. Oh the track suits too! "This was made in Italy!" I also love that they got married and had cute little kids.
  12. Finished reading through, love it! We did MCT Island last year and part one of TC is review. I'll be showing dd9 TC and discussing doing it as written and dropping ELTL or having me incorporate the TC conversations and style with ELTL and our history and science reading. I liked part 1 a lot, but parts 2 and 3 are going to be so helpful to me. Everything is so spelled out with lots of examples. I love that all of the stories are compiled in the back. That will be very handy when choosing new examples to see where we have been length and complexity wise. OT, I wish Dancing Bears would publish the stories as a separate book so we could reread them without flipping through the rest of the pages.
  13. I was #123, wow! Download went flawlessly. 8, thank you so much!!!!! I was a little worried we would crash something too, lol. Of to read through all of it. :)
  14. I have 3 levels of WWE even though I first bought the hardback volume. It is so helpful for me to see a year's worth of scripted lessons in order to understand the method. Now with dd2 I am making our own copywork since it all makes sense to me now. So much curriculum that I own is teacher training for me. :)
  15. My oldest is using ELTL and really likes it. It has inspired her to write all sorts of things whereas before she seemed dormant about expressing herself in writing. I don't want to drop it so I may use TC as more of the how to guide to write for science and history as I want to teach paragraph, report style writing in the content areas anyway. We'll see when I look at TC tomorrow and see how it goes with dd. The page where the purchase buttons will be added is up :)
  16. This x 1000! I learn so much from your posts and those of other veterans on the board. I doubt I could ever put a book out there with all the attendant issues as a fellow wallflower, but I am sure grateful that you are publishing it. :)
  17. I used Fast Track as a stand alone for my oldest and am now using DB A as a stand alone for my 6yo. I found the program to be extremely efficient at teaching and helping them make progress quickly so we aren't using anything else.
  18. This!!! Not to add to your stress, but I'm sure we would all love it if it was something you wanted to do. :)
