TechWife Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hello all - I'm just beginning to think through high school. It seems like we'd never get here, but now I find myself wanting to slow down time. I am reading a few different resources on planning home school high school and have been decided what classes we will require for high school graduation. Today I did a rough draft of a plan for English (requiring 4 years for college prep). I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions. English 9 1) Complete Research 1 book as directed by instructor 2) Complete two vocabulary books: English from the Classical Roots B & C (all exercises, quizzes and tests) 3) Write four well structured and logical paragraphs each week 4) Read & study 5 books (at least two must be classics) o Complete a literature guide on all books o Participate in a group discussion on at least two different books o Complete three essays on some aspect of three different books English 10 1) Complete one vocabulary study section from an SAT or ACT prep book (all pre-tests, exercises and simulated tests) 2) Write four well structured and logical paragraphs each week (1st semester) 3) Write two SAT practice essays per month 4) Read & study 6 literary works (at least two must be classics and one must be a play) o Complete literary guide on all books and plays o Attend one live play, preferably one that has been studied o Participate in group discussions on at least three different books o Complete four essays on some aspects of four different books or plays 5) Complete a grammar review course English 11 (American Literature) 1) Complete one vocabulary study section from an SAT or SAT prep book (all pre-tests, exercises and simulated tests) 2) Complete an SAT writing course 3) Write one SAT practice essay each week (1st semester) 4) Write two SAT practice essays each week (2nd semester) 5) Complete Research 2 course 6) Write one fully annotated research paper (2nd semester) 7) Read and study 6 literary works (at least three must be classics and one must be a play) o Complete literary guide on all books and plays o Attend one live play, preferably one that has been studied o Participate in group discussions on at least three different books o Complete four essays on four different books or plays o Complete a 40 hour project on some aspect of American literature o Take AP exam or SAT subject test English 12 (Genre Study) TBD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
