Jules Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Do you need the Teachers book for Writing Tales or is the student book enough for open and go? Edited September 23, 2012 by Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matilda Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The student book is open and go. I don't own the teacher book, though, so I can't tell you what you would be missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheApprentice Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The Teacher Manual has appendices that go along with the lessons that you print out. There are other suggested readings to go along with the lessons. For example it is suggested you check out other Arnold Lobel's "Fables" and as questions about those stories. The Grammar rules are in the TM and she offers weekly lesson plans. I find it useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 If you don't use the tm with WT, you're really missing out! She has lesson plans with points to discuss, terrific games, etc. etc. You really don't want to skip the tm with WT. I can't recall how much we used the tm with WT1, because we did that level rather hodgepodge and quickly. However for WT2 we used the co-op lessons, did all the games, the whole nine yards, and it was definitely worth the added expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I think the TM was very beneficial because there were games & instructions on how to help your kid with rewriting the story (especially if you have a reluctant writer). I wouldn't buy WT without the TM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Oh you need the teacher book. It has lesson plans, making it super easy to follow. It has answers(not that YOU need them but they are there). It has helpful info. I wish you could just buy the TM for what you need....it has homeschool and co-op instructions in there. I would have gladly bought just a digital copy of homeschool instructions instead of the book. But yes, the games are in there and stuff you copy for those games and lessons. I used the TM a lot.
