athomemom Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Where would you start in MC? My ds is currently using BJU Writing and Grammar 6th gr., but I am concerned about the writing in the next book. I think he may need more hand-holding and I am exploring our options. I am also considering: IEW and Writing Strands. Thoughts, pros & cons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We are currently using MC for 5th grade. Dd is slowly working her way through the 2nd semester 4th grade book. (We started the 4+ book halfway through 4th grade.) I cannot compare it to BJU writing as I have never used BJU, but this may help you with placement. MC definitely holds your hand. It takes you step-by-step through the writing process. I've heard it referred to as IEW for idiots (which is exactly what I need to teach writing).

Poke Salad Annie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) I cannot seem to link to the discussion I am attempting to add re: using a vintage text which the OP feels is very similar to Meaningful Composition. Search "Brautigam" and the link will show up. Editing... I think this is it. Edited January 16, 2011 by Poke Salad Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
