mazakaal Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) I thought I had made up my mind. Then I changed my mind. Now I don't know what to think. So what has your 8th grader done this year, or what will he do next year? ETA: Thanks for all the responses so far. A question... for those of you who will be doing American history, what will you be using for that? Or are you putting it all together on your own? What is a good spine for that age other than Hakim? Thanks. Edited June 5, 2009 by MeganP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Lynx Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Here's our 8th grade plan: Latin Prep 2/3 Perhaps Greek - maybe Elementary Greek again, or perhaps we'll try Athenaze Dolciana algebra: He got through about half the algebra I book this year, so we'll continue with that next year. Classical Writing Diogenes Chreia TOG Y3 Units 3&4, Y4 Units 1&2 (history and geography, and parts of the literature) Literature pulled from WTM, LCC, TOG Classical Studies - The Odyssey, The Aeneid Boy Scouts Piano possibly First Lego League Soccer We plan to spend a great deal of time on history, as he loves modern history. We may also be part of a co-op, and so that may modify these plans. Whoops, science - I'm not sure. Possibly Conceptual Physics. (Hewitt) Possibly a science overview using Robert Hazen's "Science Matters," his Teaching Company lecture, and "The Day the Universe Changed."

Brindee Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) I can't really plan, because it will most likely drastically change by the times she's in 8th grade and actually starting. But, here's what I've sketched out as a possible 8th grade year for dd (she'll be in 7th next year): Math: LoF Advanced Algebra, maybe some CLE math to supplement? Grammar: Hake Grammar or Applications of Grammar (Christian Liberty Press) Science: RS4K Chem II? Apologia Physical Science? Music & Art Appreciation: Harmony Fine Arts 8 ( http://www.harmonyfinearts.com/ ) Logic: Not sure? Latin: Not sure? Spanish: Maybe SOS? Lightning Lit. 8 Piano Lessons History: BJU? Writing: Write Shop Vocabulary: Vocabulary From Classical Roots: C & D Not sure if that helps, but maybe it gives some ideas.... Edited June 2, 2009 by Brindee Fix mistakes...

teacalm Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Here's what I have in planning stage: Henle Latin/Lingua - continue ALEKS/ A-Plus Notes for Beginning Algebra (working currently) then deciding whether to Chalkdust Algebra I or Jacobs Alg. or LOF Beginning Algebra SWI B (with sisters) and continue with Home2Teach TOG3 with K12 The Human Odyssey vol.3. Smarr Intro. to Lit. or Quine's Starting Points - I'm torn on this one. I love both, really love both. (currently going through LLTLOTR) RS4K Chemistry II(coop), finishing Rainbow Science with Runkle's Geography Intro./Intermediate Logic by Nance (with DVDs) VFCR/Rod Staff Spelling - continue There's so many I want to cover. There's art history, Put That In Writing, Signs and Seasons. But for now, I'll continue to stick with what's getting done in a regular basis, and continue to dream that I will get to my "wish" subjects. Scary time for me.

Beth in Central TX Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 What is Intro/Intermediate Logic? Who is the author or publisher? My plan was to use Traditional Logic I & II by Cothran (Memoria Press) in 8th & 9th grades, but after looking through the material, I thought it would be better to do both books in one year in 9th grade. However, my oldest son really wants to continue Logic next year, so I opted to include the Intro/Intermediate Logic by Nance (Canon Press). For some reason, I already have the older editions with tests, but sans DVD. I think I bought them when I was collecting all of the recommended material from the 1st edition of TWTM. After 6 years, I feel more comfortable with homeschooling, and I can branch out on my own without following SWB's suggestions to the "T". I've come a long way... Just FYI...my son has already done both Bluedorn books (Thinking Toolbox & Fallacy Detective), as well as, The Art of Argument and all of the Mindbender CDs.

Bee Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Math: Key to Algebra books1-4 and LOF Beginning Algebra. Possibly some review of basic math too. LA: Lightning Lit 8, Editor in Chief B1, Wordly Wise, Vocabulary Smart, Analogies1. Also some literature from WTM lists for grades 7&8 and some books I added that I thought dd would like. History: History of US vol 1-5 with comprehension questions from SL core 100, SOTW 3 with tests, and history reading from Sonlight Core 100. Science: Physics using Exploring the World of Physics, Cartoon Guide to Physics, Explorabook, Light and Color (a book from Sonlight), and the Physics Discovery Kit. I'll add in other science kits as dd completes these. Logic:Fallacy Detective Practical Skills: we make up our own syllabus as we go along. Music:The Study of Music Part 1 (this is a half-semester course) Foreign Language: Spanish 1 from Oak Meadow P.E.: dance classes several days a week and swimming lessons in first semester.

Beth in IN Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Do you have a curriculum you do this with, or is it your own thing? Hi Brindee, I do picture studies as described here from Simply Charlotte Mason. Unfortunately, I have tried different "art" curriculum and I am a failure at them, so this has been a good substitution. I would like my kids to learn more mechanics of art but right now it does not get done. So this helps alleviate my guilt from not following through with actually teaching "art". Sometimes we have classes in town and we do those. But I really like the pictures studies. If I can't teach my kids to draw or paint better, I am hoping to instill an appreciation for art.

We are using the Home Companion as well which is good for giving plenty of practice and daily 'assignments'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhondaM. Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Here is my NEW 8th grade plan for my ds/13. Bible and Devotional Bible is daily, the other's are 1x per week The One Year Bible Christian Manhood Screwtape Letters Practical Happiness Do Hard Things Created for Work History - (Late Renaissance - Early Modern 1588-1850): Paul Johnson's History of the American People (parts 1-3) Spielvogel's Western Civilizations (chapters 14-21) Biography: Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington Biography: Napoleon Biography: still undecided. Any ideas for a really good one? Lots of speeches/documents from this time period. Plus historical fiction and non-fiction. Literature: Shakespeare (one per term): Julius Caesar, Merchant of Venice & A Midsummer Nights Dream (plus listening to others plays from Arkangel Audio) The Pilgrim's Progress (part 1 only) The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & Rip Van Winkle Frankenstein Tale of Two Cities Les Miserables (most likely as a read aloud all year long) Huckleberry Finn The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde The Time Machine Animal Farm Dandelion Wine lots of Poetry, short stories & plays (I have study guides to fall back on for all the literature, but I'm really going to work on doing history/literature ala WTM/Rhetoric. Anyone else starting on this with an 8th grader? We need to work on it early, I guess, to get the hang of it.) Philosophy & Worldview: Sophie's World The Story of Philosophy The Deadliest Monster Blah, Blah, Blah How to Be Your Own Selfish Pig Math: BJU Pre-Algebra Family Math: The Middle School Years (if we get to it in time) Life of Fred Beginning Algebra (maybe) :tongue_smilie: Science: Prentice Hall Physical Science: Concepts in Action (Kolbe guide) English/Logic: Classical Writing Diogenes Maxim Classical Writing Poetry for Older Beginners R&S 6 (2nd half) How to Read a Book Love is a Fallacy (funny short story) Art of Arguement (haven't got this yet, so not sure) Foreign Language: Henle Latin (Memoria Press guide) and/or Basic Greek in 30 Minutes a Day P.E. weight machine, trampoline, bike riding, treadmill Electives: Practical Graphic Design Art Guitar Lessons (hopefully) (This is what I'd forgotten: How to Become a Super Star Student. Working on lots of study skills) I THINK this is everything. I've just sort of pulled things together this year, using a lot of Ambleside Online Year 9 ideas.
