Sweet Home Alabama Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Can the texts on NROC work for an average 9th grade student? They are the primary and supplemental texts from NROC American history I and II. I'm not trying to do AP with this student, and I'm not sure if thest are AP texts or not. Also, how important is it to use the supplemental texts? Are they optional? Which is most engaging, colorful, and enjoyable? How would and average parent grade the assignments for writing and discussion?
