Pongo Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) So in changing things up a bit, my oldest is doing the last few LU from CLE to round out the year before testing, as well as portable summer schoolwork(I know, I'm a mean mom...lol). Anyways, to my surprise, as I am flipping through LU 507 I notice this is not a grammar book at all, it's actually a workbook. It walks through a research paper. I have used IEW since the beginning for all my kids, so I was planning on skipping this. But, I have to say, it's really well done. My dd will work independently on this. The topics in this particular LU are: 1. Exploring the Encyclopedia 2. Learning from the Encyclopedia 3. Helps in the Encyclopedia 4. Is it a Good Subject? Choosing Your Subject 5. Writing the purpose Statement; Some review 6. Outline Review; Making Your Preliminary Outline 7. How To Take Notes 8. Taking Notes 9. More Note-Taking 10. Making Your Complete Outline 11. Beginning 12. Ending 13. The Final Copy 14. Finishing up;How You Will Be Graded The workbook alone is easy to use, no need for the TM.

Rhonda in TX Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 TFS! I might have to look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atozmom Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks for reminding me about this. I had wanted to check into it. They have it at higher level as well. It is the LU 807. But they also sell both under the title of Research Paper 1 (also LU 507) & Research Paper 2 (also LU 807). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think 807 is needed before 909? Or could you start with 909? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use either one independently. 909 is at a higher level but very similar to 807. 909 uses Fanny Crosby as a sample (graphic organizer cluster, outline, paper, bibliography/works cited) 807 uses hiroshima sample (outline, paper, bibliography). Did you look at the samples at clp.org? http://www.clp.org/documents/2882/original/Language_Arts_807.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I like the subject of 909 better than 807. One more question, do you need the answer key if you just use LU 909 & 910? Thanks again!

One more question, do you need the answer key if you just use LU 909 & 910? Thanks again! but very few (909 - 4 lessons; 910 - 3 lessons - all others say teacher check). I'm sure you can figure out the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolally Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 We just started this one, 507, as well! I like how it is laid out, and also thought to myself that it would be helpful to lots of homeschoolers not using CLE. For $3, it looks like it packs quite a bit in. The only thing we're tweaking is using an online encyclopedia. Sharing this was a great idea---I think there are lots of people who could use it!

Crimson Wife Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Any updated feedback on this? Also, how religious are these particular LUs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaney Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I am struggling with writing so I just ordered this for DD to work through. I have IEW US History and IEW student intensive A that I will try next year. If that doesn't work I will get Write Shop-sigh. She is a donut writer and I don't know how to get her to be a Croissant.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
