I failed my middle son (hates to write!!) so here he is in Sophmore....struggled with WWS1 and now trying to decide to continue with WWS2 or go with LToW which I can't afford to get the full program. I really need him to be up to par on writing. He is a master in the English Mechanics but hates to write. He knows how to structure a sentence and knows parsing/diagramming. He does it well. The act of writing sucks! I know from my oldest son's experience in college (he loves to write though) that my middle needs to know writing very well. So he is behind and I have to catch him up. I know he needs to learn other forms of writing besides persuasive. I know LToW is the way to go but I can't afford it and do not have the time due to full time job outside the home. Thanks! Holly

MOH and Biblioplan question
Holly IN replied to Holly IN's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Companion is not a narrative. My kids love narratives. That is why my sophmore requested to do Western Civilization by Speilvogel but I need a program already put together to take the load off of me. BP is expensive for me due to not having unlimited funds. ;)I do know it is reasonable but I have no money for it right now. I would also have to buy other materials to use with BP that they recommend so it will add up for me. I have the GuestHollow schedule but don't think she has an high school schedule. It is for Logic stage I believe. If I am wrong direct me to the correct one. ;) -
I have read all the MOH and Biblioplan threads. At this time I can't afford Biblioplan....I do have MOH1. I also have Speilvogel Western Civilization. (We are going to study Ancient History). I have two audio Elizabeth Vandiver lectures and one video of her lectures. I like the way BP is set up however I am not a huge fan of their companion book. Bleh!! That was one of my son's pet peeve about this program. However MOH is full of narrative but I believe it is way too light for high school. I am torn right now. Hubby said I need to get a program that doesn't require me to put it together. Buy a put together already program. Yes MOH is one but still have to add the WTM aspect, Literature and essays to the program to make it more high school worthy. However BP is a full program but has a few literature from what I am told that is not added which Great Books recs to have in the program for Classical Ed. One beef with BP is the companion is not narrative. WTM recommends narrative. My son loves the Western Civilization (WC) of Speilvogel but I want a Christian POV program which MOH and BP offers. With funds short right now....BP can't be bought until maybe January. So I am wondering how I can beef up MOH1? Maybe add WC to beef it up? Btw I do have Diana Waring History Reveals series for the Ancient. I am only using the CDs and the chapter readings. Everything else is dropped from her program. I do not want to continue to use her books. CDs I do but nothing else. Just too much busy work and no WTM elements. Thanks guys! Holly

Are you the one that have those shots in Google Drive? Trying to figure out who the arthor is for the google drive docs I have in my bookmarks. I know I am a bit confused. Now looking at the Geography schedule....Its a weekly schedule. In the google drive docs somebody did a daily schedule in the subjects tab. Not sure who did that. -

Plumcrazy....I was looking at the Geography shot. I noticed on the right where all the pages are tabbed. You have Geography schedule. What is in that spot? Is it a syllabus? TIA! Holly -

Holly IN replied to Halcyon's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I am hoping I do not have to do that LOL!! Meaning move to the weekly tabs. ;) So basically he would just look at the weekly schedule to tell him where to go and then check it off at the weekly tab? Some folks do the weekly and daily tabs. I find that cumbersome. Why both? I do not think you did both....only the weekly which you state you uncheck for the next week. I like that!!!!
