TechWife Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 In order to meet his specific needs, I am going to use a unique combination of resources for this year's English I credit for my 9th grader. I would like to write a course contract so that both of us know what will need to be accomplished in order to earn the credit. Does anyone who has done this have a contract that they would be willing to share with me? I'm looking for a model to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnut Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Do you mean a course syllabus? I created a pretty detailed one that explains general assignments, student expectations, scope & sequene, grade breakdown, reading requirments, etc. It also includes a variety of "book projects" to do so my son is not writing an essay for every book we read. If this is what you're looking for, I'd be happy to share it with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechWife Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 It does sound like the course syllabus you made might fit the bill. It sounds much more detailed than many syllabi that I've seen. I'm sending you a PM w/my email address. I'd sure appreciate it if you could send it my way. I am getting the phrase "course contract" from an old book I picked up: Homeschooling the High Schooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnut Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've emailed my English 9 course syllabus to those who requested, so please check your email if you haven't already. Hope you find it helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thank you very much! The syllabus you sent gave me a great template for what to include in the course description and syllabus for English I. I'm writing one for science, now.
