Tina in WA Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I know Writing Tales, Apologia elementary science, & State History from a Christian Perspective, has co-op lesson plans, but what other ones do? We are starting to "gear up" for classes next year and my mind is drawing a blank. I thought I would ask you all for help. Thanks in advance for your help. ~Tina __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine State Sue Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Write Shop has a handbook for teaching in a co-op setting. It is my understanding that the authors taught in a co-op setting for years before/during/after creating this curriculum. It is intended for 6th-8th grade.

Leanna Tomlinson Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Tapestry of Grace works very well in a co-op setting. For all levels there are weekly group activity suggestions. Also, many times there are suggestions to modify assignments for a group. For example, last year I did the newspaper project with my Dialectic writing class for 9 weeks. They loved it! Our art classes are also based on our Tapestry studies and there is more than enough for an entire year's art class. The dialectic and rhetoric discussions for history and literature can be used at home with one student, but are oftentimes richer, deeper, and a lot more fun in a group. Our co-op has also effectively used all of the Apologia science books, The Lost Tools of Writing, Starting Points, Secrets of Effective Communicators, and Visual Link Spanish. HTH, Leanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina in WA Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thank you for those great replies. Those are GREAT ideas. We have mom's that want to teach next year, but need that extra hand in using curriculum that is already laid out for them. I have a friend that uses TOG. it has been a dream that she would teach a part of it at our co-op, but so far, not yet. ;) (she might read this here! LOL ) Thanks again for your help! ~Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moira in MA Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Literary Lessons from the Lord of the Rings has (or had) a co-op syllabus on the website. ~Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
