Maverick Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Finishing up 9th now, ds has done: Jacobs Geometry, 2e Spectrum Chemistry (look familiar so far?:D) Great Books tutorial which included essay writing, plus A Beka Grammar & Comp III and Vocab for the High School Student at home Latin in the Christian Trivium (level I) Traditional Logic I and II (through a class at co-op--the teacher added a fair amount of writing and called it "Reasoning and Writing"--great class!) Journalism - He wrote for and took a turn editing a school paper for our co-op this year. Learned a lot--I'm giving him a 1/2 credit. and the big bomb of our school year...history. I still don't know how I am going to put this on his transcript. We started out with the idea that he would read and write on topics from The History of the Ancient World by SWB. However, that only got done for about a month. The reading happened for a few more weeks, but I think I only saw one paper. Maybe two. By Christmas I realized this wasn't happening, and it wasn't as relevant as I would like because his Great Books class was doing more modern works, I decided to put HOAW away until next year. I picked up a book about the history of America at War. I thought it sounded like something that would appeal to ds. He read it. Part of it. No writing or discussion. Mostly he was so busy with his other classes and activities that it just wasn't getting done. It was now spring. I panicked. I bought Lifepacs. He is doing three lifepacs on government. I figure with that plus his reading of Rouseau's (sp?) Social Contract and founding documents of the US, plus three citizenship merit badges we could call it Foundations of Government and give 1/2 credit. It's kind of scary now that 9th grade "counts". You can't just blow off a class and get to it next year. A college admissions person could say, "Why don't you have any social studies in 9th grade? Why do you only have 5.5 credits? What were you doing?" Ds: "Umm, I was swimming?" :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill- OK Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I plan on having them work for five hours a day; they can get up as early as they want and start, but if they're still in bed at 8, I plan to wake them and have them going by 9. (This is sort of what we do, already). There are ten subjects total, with them working on seven of them, daily (rotating certain things) for either half an hour, or an hour (lit. readings and algebra are two things I'm allowing an hour for). We'll have an hour of discussion, after I'm done with the Littles for the day, but most of their work is independent, with them coming to ask for help if they need it (part of the purpose of the discussion hour is to determine if they really needed to come and ask for help, but didn't). I'm hoping to do some of our discussion in Spanish, but we'll see how consistent I am at that, lol. Here are our resources: Rosetta Stone and a grammar book for Spanish Apologia Physical Science (they're also taking a Physical Science class for 9th graders at a science museum; this will count for their 'lab', since I'm not great about doing lots of experiments) Mish-mash of stuff for writing/grammar; A Rulebook for Arguments and some critical thinking software/books for logic WTM/Tapestry of Grace suggestions for History and Literature, along with Spielvogel's History Odyssey Various things for Art/Music and Art/Music Appreciation Continuing Foerster's Algebra, and then moving on to Jacob's Geometry when we're done One is doing indoor rock climbing for her P.E. credit...still not sure what the other is doing. (Sigh) Their two electives are just going to be interest-led things; one child wants to put together a motor and construct a vehicle using a lawn mower or weed-eater engine, and one has expressed an interest in her grandfather (my step dad) teaching her to do some stained glass stuff (he's very gifted in that area, if I can manage to get him to commit to it). We're starting in a couple of weeks, actually (I'm considering their 8th grade year formally done after they do standardized tests next week), so that we can try and keep our languid (read: lazy) pace, year 'round. We'll see if it works out that way. I have a High Schooler's Homeschool Planner for each of them, and the plan is to give them their assignments at the beginning of the week (I'm writing out lessons plans this year!), and have them fill in their subject boxes and then check them off as they're completed. (The Planner has bubbles to fill in, indicating quarter hours spent on each subject, so for extra curricular things like building a motor, sewing, etc., they can just keep track of time, for credit purposes). Oh, and one child plans to volunteer at the hospital, the other hopes to start at the zoo. I think that's everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcconnellboys Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'll see if I can remember, but I mostly farmed out that last year, so I'm not sure it'll be too helpful to you: Math - VideoText Algebra II (that's the last three modules). Science - he did a dual credit geology correspondence course through Indiana University. English - he worked through the last half of Vocab from Classical Roots D and all of E, and Abeka Grammar and Comp III, but the main portion of his lit/writing for the year came through another IU dual credit course in Greek Mythology. History - he did an IU dual credit course in Greek history and culture, which included some geography work. Music - Guitar private lesson and book on care and repair of the guitar - mine did this, too! He did a full year of health class through a semester coop course and then a semester long high school correspondence course that complimented what they did first semester. He did a semester coop course in logic which I used to finish up a credit in logic he had already been working on earlier. He also did a semester long political science class which I lumped into this as they included a ton of debate on topics. He did a test-taking/study skills class to help prep for ACT/SAT testing, etc. It was done for our coop teens through a local tutoring center and was a semester long course. He was involved in a hs drama group for the year which culminated in a play at the end of the year (2 shows). He had one of the more major parts in the play. It was a musical production. He did a semester long high school correspondence course in art history which complimented his Greek studies to some extent, since it was ancients up through the Rennaisance. I put this together with some other stuff he'd already done in art to make a "humanities" credit, which is now required here (but the drama, guitar, etc. would also have counted). He finished up Latin II studies using the Latin Primer/Grammar books (he had also done an outside class the year before using Jenney's). He did Spanish I using BJU's programming and CD's. He also reviewed over the summer with Rosetta Stone. He also had an 8 week outside class using a Barron text (trying to get him to *speak*, but he didn't like it.....) He's a year-round swimmer.

gardenschooler Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 So far - History and Lit - still not 100% decided, so I'll skip that instead of writing a book! (I'll come back and add it later) Dd is interested in world geography and religions, so we'll probably have that be a part of it. Science - we could go on and do Apologia Chemistry next (dd wants to), but I'm a little hesitant. We'll see. Henle Latin - 2nd semester of Latin I, first semester of Latin II. We'll throw in some more Cambridge for fun. Spanish I @ co-op English/Lit - same as above, fairly undecided. Math - Jacob's Geometry PE - raquetball, tennis, archery, horseback riding Art - pretty undecided here, too I need to get busy, don't I? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd also participates in yearbook club for the co-op. I may consider adding health the 2nd semester to get that required credit out of the way, we'll see how the year's going then.

Science --as of now, I'm having all the boys do BJU Science 6. we'll beef it up for 9th grade. i think he's had enough of Apologia --good, but a bit tough for his non-sciencey brain. They will also be working on the Lego Robotics set. History: he chose to study France and the middle east in depth. Now I want something like A Beka's "My State Notebook" for each country :) This will cover art as well. Geography: all my guys are gonna do world geeography. 4-H Cooking and Nutrition: this is one beefy program when I perused it a couple weeks ago. And it's free :D Thinking Toolbox: another one we're all gonna do. Greek: we're all doing Greek. Using inthebeginning.org/ Alphabetarian. Considering adding Elementary Greek too.... Music: continue lessons w/ mom on theory and practice w/ mountain ocarinas. PE: President's PFC; hiking; TKD in addition to Scouts, we are also making our co-op into a "4-H" co-op, w/ a focus on record books and competitions. That will include Food and Nutrition, Speech and Debate, Performing Arts, and Elections/ Civics. He'll have something scheduled for Bible, but I give him some freedom in this area. He's learning SWR w/ us [i'm still on the learning curve for that, lol], but he's a good reader, natural speller, and has a pretty good grasp of grammar.
