LunaLee Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Since the consensus seems to be it's not too early for next years plans, let's talk 9th grade...The last dc will be entering 9th grade next year, and I think I'm pretty set, but I'm still trying to hash some things out. Math: Prentice Hall Algebra I w/ weekly tutor English: Uhh...still trying to figure this one out. Sci-fi/ Fantasy maybe.. We are going to try to get through Elegant Essay and Windows to the World before the start of next year so we can spend a good amount of time on literary analysis/writing; maybe revisiting WWS2. Still need a grammar...VfCR B/C... OM: Biology w/a-g lab class Geography Integrated Health/PE Art/Photography MIT OpenCourseware: Video Game Theory and Analysis German: PowerGlide HS Yr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 My 9th grade plans are in the 10th grade thread because my teens will be 8th & 9th on paper (we have to register) but will be completing 1/2 their grade 10 credits (homeschooling in Alberta has it's perks, our credits are done differently than in the states. No one cares if they did the work in jr high or high school, just that they did). SO to see my list you have to go over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melabella Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 My plans are still very much in flux, but this is what I have tentatively: Math - Derek Owens Geometry Science - Derek Owens Physics Foreign Language - French 2 at UMS History - Still deciding between World History I (ancient through 1500 or so) with Speilvogel's Western Civilizations + various Eastern hemisphere resources or something else. English - Still trying to narrow down a book list, leaning toward LTOW 1 for writing, a resource book for grammar review as needed (I have several on the shelf), probably Vocabulary Workshop C & D for vocab/spelling, possibly begin working on rhetoric selections from TWTM Logic - Intermediate Logic (I hope to do this over the summer instead) Art - Classical Drawing (.5 credit) and pottery class Music - Guitar lessons (not for credit), possibly adding a piano class PE - Tennis lessons She does volunteer work here and there when opportunities present themselves, but she needs to find somewhere to put in regular volunteer hours. We'll also do some PSAT prep in the fall for a practice run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Career Planning -- materials TBD (0.5 credit) PE/Health -- baseball, golf, continue with cardio and strength training at home, add some health component Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaLisa Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Here is mine, somewhat subject to change: Algebra II: Saxon Latin II: Florida Virtual School Bible: Precepts studies (I don't usually assign credit, but I do have to allow time to do it) Literature: American Lit reading list with outside tutor/group Engish: R & S 8 and Classical Writing Herodotus Logic: Traditional Logic I & II Biology: Apologia biology with lab -- I'll organize a group of 10 students for lab/enriching activities History: undecided. I really want to do the Omnibus I self-paced course. Ds is strong in history; one possibility is to have him read HOAW over the summer and then go on to Omnibus I in August. Well. That felt good to get on paper! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I am enjoying looking at everyone's plans. I hate to admit it, but I do not have a plan yet even though I have two going into ninth next year. I think I am overthinking everything which is leading me to panic.
