MamaSprout Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I looking for a Lion Witch and Wardrobe unit study for ASAP, and some direction for middle grades. I own the Memoria Press study for LWW, but feel that it is extremely heavy handed and in my mind, unusable. I usually like MP's stuff. Ack. We've always just narrated reading, but we are moving into literature. Can I get away with just using Figuratively Speaking (which someone gave to me) and keep reading from a good book list? What gaps would we have with Literature if we did? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarynB Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We had good results at that stage by simply following SWB's advice in her article What is Literary Analysis? (and When to Teach It). She provides lists of questions that can be applied to guiding your discussions of any story, novel or biography. There's plenty of time for formal lit guides later. :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Oh, and next year we will be using Lightning Literature because I want something that's already planned out and that I don't have to pull together myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm thinking of using a combo of Figuratively Speaking and creating sort of a generic essay assignment sheet based on SWB's handout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 This is what I came up with. I would consider it an assignment sheet for Well Trained Mind style language arts for grades 5 and 6. I hope it is okay to share: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q4LkIMQTkX7Gl-ZNZDPJ2rfLdwmWd7yD7PT8iRZRgU4/edit?usp=sharing Hope its helpful to someone.
