angela&4boys Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We are implementing some of SWB's A Plan For Teaching Writing skills this year. I've heard that the 7th grade text - World Studies - is conducive to oultining. Is anyone using the 8th grade text - The American Republic - to do the same? If so, would you please share your thoughts/experience? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela&4boys Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) An update: I pre-read a few sections and find the lay-out very organized as well as interesting! Ds (7th grade) did an outline today with the text. It was a five-paragraph section of his reading from yesterday. I think it lends itself very well to outlining. He only did main and subtopics because he's just starting out with this skill, but there were plenty of details for when we start to address that additional aspect.
