How much time do you spend on MCT Town?

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I can't think of an efficient way to search for it (perhaps because I've been staring gloomily at my tentative schedule for the past couple of hours....) So! Is 45 minutes 5 times a week enough time for the Town level of MCT language arts (all of it, including poetry and Caesar's English)? How do you break it down? I'm thinking of reading/discussing 3 days a week and having him spend the other 2 days working on the writing assignments. Oh, I forgot--I was actually including Writing With Ease in the 45 minutes....so, umm, is around 30 minutes 4 days a week plus 45 minutes the 5th day enough?

:bigear: hoping you get some good responses!

That is close to what I have:

20 minutes a day for Grammar town for 6 weeks ( 4 days a week)

 

Then

20 minutes a day for the rest (one day each)

and writing is done in the 30 minutes a day writing allotment (which also has TOG assignment).

 

I'm doing Paragraph on Monday, Vocabulary on Tues, Poetry on Wednesday and Practice on Thursday.

 

School doesn't start until next week so we shall see how it goes in practice.

I think that's definitely enough. We did Town in less than a semester and spent 45-75 minutes daily on it, so 30-45 minutes for an entire year should be more than adequate.
