Mosaicmind Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I stayed up all night looking at curriculum and trying to decide what to buy for dd/9th. Her last day at public highschool will be Friday. Here is what I "think" I am going to go with: Math: Saxon Algebra 1 with Dive cd English/Language Arts: Applications of Grammar 3, Vocabulary Vine (I already have this) and Write Shop or Writing Strands 4 (I haven't decided yet) Science: Apologia Biology History: MOH volume 1 (I am going to be doing this with the boys already) Foreign language: Rosetta Stone Spanish Bible: She is in a small group Bible study right now that meets every other Wednesday. Art: Haven't decided yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It looks good! I have no experience with Rosetta Stone, but I know that others have mentioned that it's light on grammar. You may want to consider supplementing with a grammar book - but you don't need to do that at the beginning and can add it in later in the year. If you do end up going with the Saxon and Apologia, Christian Book Distributors has them for a good price - and other places as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 What are you doing for literature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosaicmind Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 What are you doing for literature? Do I need to do Literature for 9th grade? I was thinking maybe wait on that unless it's definitely needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Not Elegantlion, but I think literature is very important in 9th. I missed that it wasn't in your course list. This is the year they begin to learn how to analyze literature, do character studies, etc.. It's also a good year to do a research paper and to get all the skills together which are needed to do that. That's separate from literature, but just wanted to throw that in there too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosaicmind Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 I bought her Lightning Literature British early-mid last night. I looked and found that one to be the best out of all my possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 All high school grades include literature in their English classes. Some have more or less than others, but you really can't completely skip it (IMHO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
