faiths13 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Is there such a thing as a Christian history curriculum that includes literature and composition with it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yes, quite a few. Over the years we've used Sonlight, Tapestry of Grace, and Omnibus, and all have varying levels of composition included. My Father's World also does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorMom Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Trisms is not overtly Christian, but it certainly has a lot of Christian influenced literature.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Although I've seen the Notgrass programs require composition in their texts, I wasn't under the impression that the texts actually TAUGHT composition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddlemomma Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 All the curricula mentioned here would be good. I've used TOG and it's quite good and rigorous. Roman Roads Media also offers Old Western Culture which provides two credits: history and lit. However, they also require term papers and provide a list of potential topics at the end of each lesson, or you can have your student come up with their own viable topic. If you're not a "workbook" type person, you could just have your student write a paper from one of those topics each week or every other week for composition.

faiths13 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I should have added I am on a budget and I need something that is easy to understand and use. Does Notgrass have good comp and lot? Does it teach it or just require it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 answering about Notgrass and composition: My experience is limited to the Exploring World History. Composition is not taught. Some limited information is given as a review or check point. And the writing assignments included tend to be along the lines of write 1-2 pages double space (350 words or so) on a topic you learned this week in history chapters, or independent reading about a country of your choice. Assignment may be more of an assignment in history in my opinion than in "english" class. I like the idea of writing on topics you are learning, but I felt like Notgrass was not providing "English composition" with the way they did it. Also, the lit analysis in notgrass is not that much. good reading list, but they don't do much with it. even with the new edition with some background info, it just doesn't seem like all that much and I'm not super rigor type of person either. MFW does History and Lit and Comp and Bible too. yes they use notgrass, but add to it and that was your thread I replied on.. oops.. already said that stuff.

AimeeM Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Lightning Lit? I haven't used it, but it looks like the full course includes a composition course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
