For example: Grammar Practice Workbook Teacher Grade 9: http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/workbooks/language_arts/gpw_blm/9gpw1.pdf We are using these in the same manner as Memoria Press' English Grammar Recitation. I put the definition of the part of speech into Quizlet flash cards for dd and then we work through the sheets. These inexpensive handbooks correspond well, are handy references and have additional examples and exercises. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=grammar+and+composition+handbook&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Agrammar+and+composition+handbook I find that there are many more teacher editions available for the "odd" years.

shinyhappypeople Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Today's requests: Our geography section could use some beefing up. Bonus points for structured programs or stuff that's just dirt easy to implement. It'd also be nice to have links to some high quality tutorials for life skills areas like: car maintenance and repair, cooking, nutrition, sewing, home repair, cleaning, budgeting, etc. That's not an exhaustive list, but you get the gist. Last but not least, I think it would be great to have a pre-K section for our younger friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the things listed for each country are the kinds of things that will not be listed in typical books. When I read what was listed for my birth country, I was amazed at what was listed. Someone really had talked for a LONG time to a local minister and LISTENED to things that don't make immediate sense to an American. Voice of the Martyrs https://www.persecution.com I'm hesitant to list this, because I personally think some lives are unnecessarily lost in this type of activity, but...it is not my place, here, to sensor resources.
