Nan in Mass Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 He does: Great books/history a la TWTM/TWEM (well - our version of it) NEM3 Conceptual Physics Sight singing (not a full course, just the occasional 10 minutes here and there) Piano Latin (Ecce Romani 2) Peace Studies Gymnastics team (daily practices) And at CC his did/is doing: Drawing 1 Speech 1 Basic Computing (how to use your computer) Composition 1 He's currently struggling through the Pimsleur's French 1 tapes before he goes to France for 3 weeks. And this summer, he'll do a light version of US history. It is a lot, but we aren't doing any of it very rigorously except the gymnastics, and some of it we are doing slowly because of traveling, like taking 3 years to get through 2 Latin books. That's how we fit it all in. -Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Jane - How is French in Action going? I need something for my older one next year. He suddenly decided he wants to be able to speak French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Check out the FIA videos on the Annenberg Foundation's Site: http://www.learner.org/resources/series83.html This will give you the flavor of the course. (I think that you will need to register at the site to view the programs.) For each lesson, one views the video, then listens to tapes/CDs which have material from the storyline on them. The listener repeats a word, a phrase, eventually sentences. There is also a workbook which goes with he tapes/CDs. Some lessons are auditory, others written. Last year I hired a tutor to give some additional conversational opportunities. When I initially researched the program, a comment that I heard was that students who used it did not sound obviously American when traveling in France. Is your 11th grader doing a study program in France or is he walking? Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nan in Mass Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Which should be ok. It is the getting to the group from the airport and then getting back again part that has me pushing the Pimsleur. Because of his CC classes and our vacation schedule, he only can join them for 3 weeks this year, and has to get to them and back again without interrupting the walk. He did it in Japan, so presumably he can do it in a European country. At least, that is what I keep telling myself. Besides, traveling is more fun if you can say a few things. He knows lots of words just from listening to his brother and me, but not enough to really talk to someone. He has decided it would be handy to know how to speak it (nothing to do with walking this year), so I'm trying to find something to help him along next year, something that doesn't rely on me having enough energy to just use it with him. I've been trying to do that and failing miserably. Maybe in the fall it will be easier, or this summer. I have to be reading and watching movies in French myself to make myself speak it during the day, and I just haven't done that. I thought about signing him up for the French at CC, but the scheduling isn't looking promising. It sounds like French in Action might have a learning style that would suit him. Getting him to learn a language any way but by osmosis is very difficult, sigh. Maybe something movie based would be osmosis-y enough to work. Thank you! -Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam H Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The plan looks like this: Tapestry of Grace year 1 (history, literature, geography, worldview) Apologia Physics ChalkDust Algebra II (geometry last year) Spanish II Economics/Health IEW Gov't Latin Road to Eng Grammar II Argumentation from Teaching Co. These last three things need to be finished up. Not sure what we will replace them with. I'd love to enroll ds in a dual enrollment class this year. We'll see.

Blue Hen Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 AP Chemistry AP English Lang & Composition AP AB Calculus AP Statistics Great Books, ala, WTM. World History, 1650 - 1850 We use Spielvogel for this. Reading books to correlate with this time period. Since he will also have the AP English Lang & Composition I will not be requiring very much, if any writing on these books. He'll read at least 12 of the books from TWTM book list for this time period. Spanish 2 using Rosetta Stone Industrial Arts --- he'll finish building his wooden kayak PE --- swimming along with almost daily work-outs at the Y. He is also on an in-line speed skating team. For fun he'll also have a 10-week x-country trip this summer, and Science Olympiad next winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
