Kris in Wis Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I know there are lots of IEW users here, so I have a question. I want to use US History Based Lessons with my son next year. Is the Teacher book absolutely necessary, especially if I have experience teaching writing? I just can't fit it into my budget, but will try if it is absolutely critical to the program. Honest opinions, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I haven't used this one, but I own much of the IEW materials and I've looked at the US history based lesson and I do think that the teacher guide in necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cami in UT Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I have it but I only sometimes look at it. You still have to reference the student book to even really know what is suppose to be taught. I haven't found it particularly useful but nice at times. It does have vocabulary quizzes. It is about half the size of the student book, to give you some idea.

Melissa B Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I haven't had any trouble without it. But I have watched the TWSS program and still have to look back to the TWSS workbook from time to time. I wouldn't have given the vocabulary quizzes anyway, so that wasn't important to me. All of the vocabulary definitions are in the back of the student book.

If I purchase it, I plan to only use it for teaching the writing aspect. I want something to go along with our history studies, but concentrate on essay writing. Do you think the student book alone would suffice, then? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
