LL, IEW, or both?

[AHASRADA]

I have been intending to use LL8 with ds next year for quite some time, mainly for the literature portion, but it provides writing instruction as well.

 

I would also like him to go through a sequence of IEW (SWIs and SICCs), since it seems to set an excellent foundation for writing.

 

I am trying to set a plan for HS, following either LL or IEW, or both, throughout.

 

So, here are the options:

 

1. IEW and do something else for lit. (Sonlight, etc.)?

2. LL with only the IEW TWSS, applying the principles to the LL assignments

3. LL combined with one IEW single-semester program (SWI or SICC) per year

4. Other suggestions?

 

Comments/thoughts/ideas?

 

Thanks!

We used LL7 last year and are using LL8 this year. LL contains writing assignments, but not writing instruction. Here's a thread that might be of interest to you:

? Do you use additional writing program with Lightning Lit 7?
