[Absurdly focused effort]

IF they didn't explode in the process

[IEW Question - again]

Just chiming in to say that I, too, had success with children of varying writing skills and IEW. I used level A with 2nd, 5th, and 6th grader. They all improved their writing skills through the curriculum and even enjoyed it.

 

I also agree about the yahoo group. It is extremely helpful.

[My children and I need prayers please]

Praying for you. I'm standing by another friend in a similar situation. She found out, just a couple weeks before Christmas, that her husband of 24 years was involved with another woman. I'm so sorry for the pain and uncertainty that you and your children are facing. Hugs and prayers.

[Book a Week in 2012 - Week 8]

I've made it to page 98 of Moby Dick. Can see it's going to be a slow read.

 

I just finished that book. I'm a fast reader and that book took me weeks to get through. There are many authors that I read in high school that I've read again as an adult and really enjoyed. I didn't read MB in high school but I did read Billy Budd. I hated it then and I hate it now. The story and characters were interesting in MB but I'm just not a fan of Herman Melville's writing style.

 

Right now I'm reading The Clan of the Cave Bear, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and some Chekhov stories in the original Russian.
