hsm Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Would you (or did you) do this in 7th or 8th grade? Preferences? Or would you wait until 9th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanine in TX Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We are doing Traditional Logic I in 8th grade. I thought 7th grade was too early for my dd. We did Critical Thinking Books 1 and 2 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Tomlinson Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We did Traditional Logic I & II in 9th. I liked having the credit for the high school transcript. Logic I is fairly easy, but Logic II is a bit more challenging and takes more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS in MD Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We did Traditional Logic I & II in 9th. I liked having the credit for the high school transcript. Logic I is fairly easy, but Logic II is a bit more challenging and takes more time. Dd did Traditional Logic I in 8th and I'm thinking of having dd continue with Traditional Logic II in 9th grade. Should this be 1/2 credit? Also, what did you write as a course name/description on your dc's transcript? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We're doing it in 7th grade as per TWTM - BUT - I am keeping my options open since I have heard differing opinions on this board. If it proves too difficult - we will rethink that decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic I & II (Course Completed at home) The first semester is an introductory course in formal logic. The course work introduces students to an understanding of the Christian theory of knowledge and presents an in-depth study of the classical syllogism. The second semester is an advanced formal logic course. It covers the four figures of the traditional syllogism, the three forms of rhetorical arguments (called enthymemes), the three kinds of hypothetical syllogisms, the four kinds of complex syllogisms, as well as relational arguments. Learning to think well and to think critically is the goal.
