Well Trained Mind Academy classes for next year are posted


Recommended Posts

So what kinds of papers are assigned for medieval lit? How is the rest of the class? What is the reading load like? Does the teacher give feedback about writing? Teacher's name?

 

The reading every week is intensive.  Teacher is Aaron Wells.  He requires a summary of the reading every week.  Yes, he does give feedback.  DD had to write one two-page response paper last semester.  I can't remember if there were any other assignments requiring writing other than the summaries.

 

I guess I was expecting more writing, but DD is getting that in her medieval history class so it's a balanced workload for her.

My rising 10th grade ds is an average student with an average motivation/work ethic.  Would American history, American literature, Conceptual Chemistry, and Rhetoric 1 be to much? 

Angela, We have quite a few students taking 4-5 classes, and I expect your student will thrive in the live classroom environment. "Average" students are energized as they participate in discussions and see other students mastering the concepts and material which they initially think is beyond their reach.

 

As a parent, you will most likely find yourself in a position to better focus on other activities or courses you may still be teaching at home. :)
