Janie Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Can you use these easily IF you have not used IEW before, or is there a lot of prior knowledge needed that comes from using IEW previously? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjarnold Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Can you use these easily IF you have not used IEW before, or is there a lot of prior knowledge needed that comes from using IEW previously? I think some familiarity with the IEW model would be very helpful. There have been other threads on this topic, and you'd probably be able to find a variety of opinions there. Personally, I started my kids with SWI-A (borrowed from a friend), then did the first half of SICC-A, and this year will do the Ancient History lessons. I've only watched a bit of TWSS, but I own the resource notebook. You'd want to get a general overview of the units, dress-ups, and stylistic techniques before beginning to teach, I think. In fact, IEW now sells an overview DVD for TWSS. You may want to check that out. Good luck, Tiffany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Indeed Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I bought Middle ages theme based writing with no experience with the program, and we are doing just fine so far. I believe it is straightforward in it's approach to writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njosanders Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 and purchased the TWSS DVD's and the Middle Ages History Based Lessons. It was simple to teach and my daughter could do it also. The DVD's really helped me understand how to teach it. I purchased my used and IEW has a For Sale forum to purchase used material.

jibaker103 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm using the Ancient History Based Writing with no prior knowledge for my ds and he's doing great. It's very much open and go which I love very much! Jennifer Mother to Noah Age 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
