LAmom Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 DD 13 just finished WWS1. I want to continue some kind of writing and prepare her for 9th grade. She didn't love WWS1, though very good program for her (more of a creative writer) and I felt it was important stuff to learn. I am looking at SWBs suggestion of Memoria Press writing program (though don't know where to start-- Fable?? Or possibly CAP (again, where would she start). She is a fairly natural writer but of course needs some help. I would like to be fairly hands off. I heard Elegant Essay IEW is a lot of teacher 1:1. I may use Window to the World/Teaching the Classics with Jill Pike's syllabus for freshman year or do I do that now? Or possibly just use Memoria Press throughout high school. It wasn't clear to me in the WTM book what is suggested, so I have to reread that. I didn't see WWS2 or 3 mentioned for high school. All that to say, what do you suggest? Of course, we only have about 4 months left before summer break and then high school. I don't know how it works if I start a program and don't finish. I'm still trying to get a grasp on credits. Hope this makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) You should check out the writing scope and sequence that SWB put up on the WTM web site. SWB wrote that WWS prepares a student for writing in college. You can continue with WWS2 in 9th and WWS3 in 10th. That is one path the scope&sequence mentions. If you only have four months to prepare for high school writing, look at a short resource like The Power In Your Hands or Write Better Essays in 20 Minutes a Day.
