Quiver0f10 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I am trying to see the big picture how these would work together. If you do this could you please share how you are making it work. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I am planning on using ideas from WEM and WTM with my dd's rhetoric level writing next year, if that counts. :001_smile: I am going to swap out some TOG assignments for the writing-about-great-books process that SWB outlines in the high school section of WTM.

bethben Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I haven't done this yet, but here is my very brief plan--ds will be in 5th grade and we're doing year 4. He is supposed to read Joy Hakim books nearly every week and I plan on having him do 2 - 1 level outlines from those books. I also have him doing a literary analysis from the literature he's reading or if he does a biography then a biography paper (ala TWTM questions in the book). He'll do 2 summaries; 1 from history and 1 from science. I keep thinking I should be adding additional writing so I also have him doing some (not all) of the Writing Aids topics. Maybe this is overkill, SWB's plan just seems too simple. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was trying to figure out with so many books to be read. Good idea. I am not going to be using WA but I am thinking of using the writing topics for papers ala SWB.

johnandtinagilbert Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've decided to continue on with Write Shop 2 for "writing," but I will still make them outline and summarize from the core or a chosen in-depth b/c I think the material sinks much better when they have to write about what they read....even though they also have to answer questions....so I try to assign questions and have them summarize/report on something different so they're getting twice as much sinking in ;) OR I have them outline, then use their answers to questions as part of a summary/report on the matter.
