LNC Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) I was going to use Lightning Lit 7 and 8 for 2nd semester literary analysis/comp after we complete CLE reading in the 1rst semester, but I'm thinking of using tying them to the period we are studying in history chronologically. Which would mean using Lightning Lit Medieval in 8th? Would that be too difficult? For my daughter it would look like using: Lightning Lit 7th - 2nd semester 7th Lightning Lit 8th - 1rst semester 8th (instead of CLE Reading 8) Lightning Lit Medieval - 2nd semester 8th (maybe Shakespeare over the summer with LL and Sparknotes) Lightning Lit Early American - 1rst semester 9th Lightning Lit Early British - 2rst semester 9th Lightning Lit Mid-late American - 1rst semester 10th Lightning Lit Mid-Late British - 2nd semester 10th Then we would move to online and/or AP lit/writng courses for 11th and 12th... My son would look different for where he fell in chronological history, but I would have the LL courses on hand for him also... I need something planned out totally. Lit, writing, great books, rubrics. Any thoughts?!! Edited December 20, 2011 by LNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggermom Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure Lightning Lit Medieval is high school level. If you think your kids will be ready then go for it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 All I can add is that we had no problem finishing LL7 in one semester for beginning of 6th grade. We start LL8 after the New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
