Lostinabook Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 My students are in 9th & 11th grades. I'm definitely using WttW w/the Jill Pike syllabus for my 9th grade ds & would like to use it for my 11th grade dd as well, but I'm not sure how that will look on a transcript. She has read widely & is a natural writer, but *really* hates to discuss what she's read, so I thought this program would be helpful for tearing the lit apart & then discussing with her brother. Since I'm not sure that it actually will take her the full 5 hours/week to do the work, I'm hoping that I can have her reading additional short stories/essays/novels for at least an hour/week. Has anyone used WttW with a junior? Did it work well? Was there time for additional reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeepa Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I can't answer your question as I haven't used WttW yet, but I'm looking at it for this next year for my dd going into 8th. I do have a question of my own though, if you don't mind sharing...what is the Jill Pike syllabus? Edited August 2, 2016 by jjeepa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinabook Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 It is a syllabus that expands the program to 33 weeks & adds 2 novels and a play. I think IEW includes it when you purchase WttW from them. I'm not sure if it's included when you buy elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinabook Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Anyone used this with an older student? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom'sGirl Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I used it with my senior last year, but my bar may not be as high as some here. We also did additional literature readings without extensive analysis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also did additional literature readings without extensive analysis. Thank you! My bar is not terribly high. :) In the past, all we've done is read, have minor amounts of discussion, and write narrations. I'm so glad to hear that you had enough time for additional lit selections! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
