5LittleMonkeys Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Anyone had a chance to review this yet? http://www.analyticalgrammar.com/index.php/analytical-products/bbr-season1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorbie Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I just received my copy today, so I don't have any actual experience with the program. It does not teach composition. It is more of an introduction to literature. Basic literary terms are covered. The first assignment is a paraphrase and a two page summary of a book of your choice. The second assignment is a pamphlet explaining the conflict, characters, plot, and other elements of a book of your choice. Instruction is geared toward the student. I haven't yet viewed the material for the third assignment. Do you have any specific questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3girls Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have been looking at this, as well. I thought it covered the essay and the research paper, as well as literature. So do you think that it should be used with Writing with Skill then since it does not cover composition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I bought this, too, but decided to save it for next year. I'm not sure about the writing instruction, but the essay and research paper are in season three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBR season 1 does not teach anything about the writing process. It teaches literary terms, summarizing, and newspaper writing. I think BBR might be overkill if you are doing WWS since WWS covers literary analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to compare the SS for each to see which does a more thorough job. I'm not there yet, but I believe WWS doesn't really get into individual literary terms as much as it does just writing about literature...could be totally wrong though.

Mom2OandE Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Looks promising. I can't wait to hear reviews as everyone uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
