High School Debate
purplelily replied to cuckoomamma's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Go to the main websites find one in your area and visit it. Contact the state reps for your area and find out if you can get with other clubs who have more experience. Some people have been known to drive about 2 hours one way to go to a club. Below are the two main homeschool debate leagues. You might want to youtube some of the debates for these leagues, to get a feel for the style of debate. It will take time to do research for team policy debate. You and your dh learn how to question her as the devil's advocate to help learn how to think things through. http://www.ncfca.org http://stoausa.org Another thing to look into is the economics of the issue up for debate. That always helps to understand that. Books and maybe some video training: https://www.monumentpublishing.com One thing to keep in mind, it can get expensive. You have to pay to join a debate club, then fees for tournaments, fees for national organization, and professional looking clothes and shoes. If your student is serious about it, have them to start to develop a professional speaking voice, that does not sound like a teenager. Also, have them start taking notes of sermons, or TV shows. They need good note taking skills for debate. It is an adventure. You and your student will learn more than you ever wanted to. -
I second Up From Slavery. Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry is set in the depression If you want you might want to have them watch the movie "Amazing Grace." It will give the students a sense of how bad slavery really was. Some other topics you want to investigate is the Irish slaves and America. Also, find out who captured and sold the African slaves.

what economics program have you used?
purplelily replied to kfeusse's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We used Dave Ramsey course as a personal finance course. I have used Abeka's Economics course. A couple of my children have been to the seminars put on by Greg Rhemke for economics as it relates to debate topics. http://www.economicthinking.org We have watched the John Stossel's economic videos that come out yearly. http://stosselintheclassroom.org/economics/ I am thinking about adding Money, Greed and God by Jay Richards to the mix. -

Lost Tools of Writing help
purplelily replied to moonlight's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
It takes three weeks to do each lesson. I once heard that when you are learning a new writing program, it is good for the teacher to do the writing too. This way the teacher will find out about what some the student struggles are. By doing the writing assignments, the teacher learns the program better. Just take it slow. You may want to start with some short stories, this way for slow readers, the students do not get behind in the reading. Also, the fifth edition teacher edition has some sample ANI charts to help you along. -
Best Robotics is another engineering competition. http://www.bestinc.org Our homeschool co-op participated last year. We were part of a 32 team competition. We came in #11 for our first year. This is hands on learning. The students basically design and market a robot. They learn how to fund raise, design a robot, program, do public relations, design a t-shirt, make a marketing booth, create a power point and create an engineering notebook. It is a very good learning experience. They choose officers to lead different areas. Since we are a small group, all students get to experience various parts of the project.

interior design and art classes
purplelily replied to amymeg's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
http://www.aces.edu/4-H-youth/AL4-H/resources/other/competitive/documents/InteriorDesign-rules-kg-090215.pdf Have him create a room on a trifold board. Choose a theme to work around. Give him a budget and have himcome up with the costs for the various items to be used. Create a floor plan. Choose 4 to 6 projects for him to do. Each one has to be totally different from the other. Examples: a Living room/kitchen combination based on a country/western theme, a modern loft apartment in New York, a hotel lobby in an Egyptian Themed hotel in Las Vegas, a beach house and a tiny home made out of a cargo trailer. http://cdn.archinect.net/images/1200x/5q/5qrruutip359cyas.jpg https://www.pinterest.com/turidhw/interior-presentation-boards-interior/ Perhaps pick up a book on interior design and go through the chapters and have incorporate some of the concepts in the current project. That way he will learn the vocabulary. -
http://www.disl.org/educational-programs If you are near Mobile, AL , there is a Sea Lab nearby. I got to go with dd when she went. They went on a boat trip. They walked on the beach/forest. They did a dissection. After the boat trip, they got to go to a salt marsh nursery. It was a very interesting trip.

Best money spent - Apologia Biology DVD
purplelily replied to MAIMOM's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
The sound quality of the 2nd Edition Chemistry was not good. -
I agree do not have him take the GED. The GED carries a stigma in so many place. With the score he got on the ACT he can get scholarships to schools. Encourage him to pursue his blacksmithing as a trade. His speaking skills will serve him where ever he goes. He can always go back to school. Give him a chance to figure out what he wants. It is his life. He will have to learn lessons in adult life that you cannot teach. Guide him as much as you can, but it is still his life.
