Melissa B Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well, here's my plan 7th - Magic Lens I / finish Essay Voyage 8th - Magic Lens II / Academic Writing I 9th - Magic Lens III / Academic Writing I and II 10th - 12th - complete Academic Writing II and III I don't plan to teach any grammar after 9th grade. Our English at that point is all writing and literature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Karonne Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 My 9 y-o daughter is going through the Island series now and loving it - and so am I! We'll go through all 6 series one year at a time. Then my plan is also to focus on literature and writing. (I'm also like to think ahead) We'll do this with the Great Books Academy great books program. This involves both writing periodic papers and a weekly online discussion. She's now participating in their 4th grade books discussion group and enjoying it. By listening in, I'm learning how a socratic discussion is run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 We are just now starting the Island level, but my thinking for us is similar to the other posters: finish the 6-level series sometime around 9th or 10th grade (depending on if we stretch out any of the later levels), and then focus on literature/classics and academic writing the remaining years of high school, putting into practice what we learned through the MCT materials.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 This is Mr. Thompson's response to the Parent Group: "Greetings all. I am now working on volume three of Advanced Academic Writing; one and two are already in print. After that we have lots of ideas, and I'll have to see which ones come first. I do intend to keep writing as long as I can. I will tell you that we envision entire strands and new grade levels of things." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can that be done on your own? For example, I plan on using BJU Distance learning for her science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
