Jenny in Florida Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 But I can't find it. My son will be picking up a full high school schedule next year. So far, the plan is: Math (1 credit) -- Art of Problem Solving: Counting and Probability -- Crossing the River With Dogs (Key Curriculum Press, first half of the book) -- Real Life Math: Statistics -- Unit that includes reading the novel Flatland World History (1 credit) -- Florida Virtual School (honors) Biology (1 credit) -- Florida Virtual School (possibly honors) English (1 credit) -- Duke TIP course about the Odyssey -- Imitations in Writing: Greek Myths (Both of these resources are a little "young," but I knew my son would love them. We're beefing them up with lots of additional reading and resources.) -- Reading a mix of translations of classics and some modern re-tellings, about 20 books in all. Spanish I (1 credit) -- Florida Virtual School World Geography (1 credit) -- Holt text World Geography Today -- Additional reading -- Projects gleaned from the internet World Religions (0.5 credit) -- Huston Smith's The World Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions -- Supplemented with readings from a second book (of which I can't remember the title) that I had on the shelf -- Four novels with religious themes I may or may not give credit for choir/vocal performance, depending on how the year goes. He sings with a rigorous boychoir and takes private voice lessons. There are definitely enough hours to justify half a credit (or more), but we may decide to save those things to list as extracurriculars.

dawnofmotherhood Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 We're still solidifying plans, but this is what we have so far: Math: Teaching Textbooks Algebra II Science: Apologia Biology with labs and adding in some human anatomy History: 1600-1850 following WTM pretty closely. We're using "America:A Narrative History" as our main text. The Norton website has a student area that is dedicated to this book - so I am using that for mapwork, quizzes and further research on issues that are touched on in the text. We're also utilizing "For the Record" which has original documents pertaining to the other text - chapters align and everything, making it a little easier for planning. :) English: Great Books study of 1600-1850 Using Well Educated Mind as a base/starting point - making sure to cover a couple of selections from each genre throughout the year. I'm looking at Lit Guides to use along with some of the selections. He will mostly use WTM suggestions for how to do the study. Music: Guitar Lessons & perform with youth group band theory - note identification, key signatures, intervals, chord structure, chord progressions (still looking for a main resource) Great Composers from 1600-1850 - will include a couple of research writing assignments (English) - as well as some listening assignments Spanish: Rosetta Stone Spanish Ground & Flight School w/Leadership - Civil Air Patrol modules, meetings, missions Personal Finance: Dave Ramsey's teen curriculum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's only 2 (but acts 3 in SO MANY WAYS!). We're good - still in the military and moving every couple of years. We're in Sacramento now. He's been in CAP since last August. Basically, Kyle will work through the modules (the books they sent him) and take tests. They can do that online. Those tests will enable him to promote in rank. Austin has gotten to actually fly a plane (!!!) and will be going to a big conference in a couple of weeks where they have seminars and a military style ball. :) He's enjoying it. Are you on FB?

The HOD CTC with extras/Mapping the World with Art/Smarr Intro combination was what I was dreaming of doing with my upcoming freshman but then I "chickened out" and just upgraded my Sonlight 100 . . .BUT. . . I have almost all of these resources sitting on my shelf . . . so, can I quiz you? I'm new to HOD and I'm wondering how you're going to divide up the credits with your plan . . will he do all of Mapping the World with Art this year for a full credit or are you combining that with the CTC+ for one credit, or are you issuing both a history credit and a geography credit. How are you integrating the additional CTC resources? What I mean, are requiring written narrations or just reading/discussing and using the regular CTC notebooking pages with the other materials? Any additional details you could share with me would be most appreciated. I've always used "preplanned" materials with my olders so I'm a basic coward when it comes to stepping out on a limb to plan my own materials but I've a fifth grader doing CTC next year and it just looks like with a bit of beefing up it would be so good for my freshman. Thanks for any advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy in ME Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Janet, here is what I am planning. He will do all of the CTC scheduled notebook pages with narrations for the extension books daily. Carrie suggests 2 oral, 2 written, and 1 notebook page with illustration per week for the extension books in addition to the other notebooking. The added reading that I listed will be just read and discuss. I am planning to have him complete all of the Mapping the World with Art with the additional reading for 1 credit in geography. He will be working on it for about 90 minutes every other day for a total of 130 hours. I will also give him 1 credit for ancient history done on the opposite schedule. Basically I just divided up all of the additional reading into 36 weeks so we know how much additional reading to do each week. The geography program is already divided into 30 lessons with three parts: reading, map drawing, and an activity, so it is pretty easy to schedule. Everything else we are using for the year is also separated into lessons. I have all of the resources on my shelves now, and it all looks great!

I am thinking that I will not give him a Bible credit because his schedule is pretty full. He will do all of the Bible assignments as scheduled but I don't think that alone constitutes a credit. I had thought about adding one of Carrie's suggestions but I just don't want to overwhelm him for his first year of high school. He is already going to earn 9 credits next year. I really think you should go with your gut on this one. We will have to keep in touch during the year if you do end up doing CTC with your 9th grader.

Aquinas Academy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Janette, Do you mind if I ask if you have any plans to carry on French for your dd? Yes, she will definitely be continuing with French. What would you use after Breaking the Barrier L3? I was planning to use the Collage textbooks (Varietes culturelles, Revision de grammaire, and Lectures literaires), but my plans have changed. I'm now looking at CNED which is distance education for French speakers. DH is francophone and DD is fairly fluent. How did you find the program? It was rather underwhelming. For someone who is learning French as a foreign language I think it's a great text. For DD, French isn't really a foreign language, and so BtB wasn't a good fit. Many thanks for your thoughts! Emily Sorry, I'm guessing that doesn't help much. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
