Julie in GA Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Does this make sense? Courses: Omnibus III (Modern) Primary Readings - through Scholars Online program Secondary Readings - with me America: The Last Best Hope (to round out U.S. History) Classical Writing Diogenes (will also begin next level) Apologia Biology Latin 3 (Latin in the Christian Trivium, Vol. 3) French 1 Material Logic (1 semester) Algebra II (Foerster's) Transcript Omnibus Lit. studies + Classical Writing stuff = 1 English unit Omnibus History readings + America = 1 Soc Studies/History unit Could this be called "U.S. History/Government"? Biology = 1 science unit Algebra 2 = 1 math unit Latin and French = 2 foreign lang. units Logic = 1/2 unit, elective Total for 9th grade = 6.5 units Thanks for your comments/suggestions, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in GA Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 I may add a .5 credit fine arts course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda in NM Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Just wondering, and trying to think like a college-admissions person...could you break up the US History/Government into 1 credit history and 1/2 credit government? I'd be wondering if the two were combined... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in GA Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Looking back at the course description, I think I'll just call this "American History." When he comes back around to American History & Modern Literature in 12th grade, I'll call the history part "American Government." This is how SWB organizes it in TWTM (p. 655). Thanks for drawing my attention to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Don't forget, you can add in one Theology credit for Omnibus, also. I call it Bible 1, Bible 2, etc, and include his actual Bible devotions as part of it (I would explain if I needed to add a course description).

cb in socal Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Don't forget Bible, Bible, and Bible. If your kids aren't grounded in it, they'll not be able to analyze most literature. At UCSD's Revelle college, Bible is their most difficult course, and inmho, it is the Creator of the universe's book He left us -- in every reading, its blessings and wisdom and blessings are so evident.

Julie in GA Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 I don't forget it -- I just don't think to "count" it for school. We read, memorize, and study it, as well as hear (and take notes on) wonderful expository preaching, currently from the book of Ephesians.
