Only me Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I went to the Runkle Geography website. They say it is appropriate through high school. My freshman daughter could use a semester elective credit, otherwise she will be a bit behind for next year if she is able to go back to the private school. I was thinking about using Runkle Geography with her and asking the school if they would give her 1/2 credit. Would this be appropriate for a freshman? Would it be difficult for her to finish it in a semester? Please keep in mind that due to her insomnia and related neurological issues she probably isn't functioning like a "typical" 9th grader. I don't want to push her too much but I still want the course to be grade appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merylvdm Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yes - it is definitely appropriate for a 9th grader and can easily be a 1/2 credit. I used it for 2 of my kids in 8th grade and was planning to use it on my son who is now an 11th grader, but I think he would end up with too many credits if he did it. But - having used the course before - I had no problem considering it as a good high school 1/2 credit. And I don't think it would over-strain your daughter - it is not 'easy' but my 8th graders managed As without much effort Meryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We used it as a semester course in 10th grade, linking it with astronomy (Astronomy Today). I would recommend requiring the map/memorization work to make it worth a high school .5 credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
