Reefgazer Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I am looking for a self-paced or online American Literature high school course for next year. Any suggestions? I'd like for it to be high quality and not just git 'er done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space station Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Not self-paced, but online. http://www.dreamingspireshomelearning.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Elliot Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) This might work for you. I've not used the streaming option, but the course is of outstanding quality, by far the best I've ever used, and I've used a lot. Edited May 6, 2018 by Jane Elliot fixed the link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I haven't had a kid take CLRC lit classes, but I have read that the writing feedback is awesome and they tend not to be huge classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Honestly, I was impressed with AOP's American Literature. I liked that it is chronological, includes a bio of the authors and gives historical perspective. The questions ranged from deep dish to lighter fare. Some complete works are included but many are segments or partial examples of various works. It is designed to be a semester (I think) but we included a more indepth look at a complete work and more writing assignments. Also, if you want a text, take a look at Scott Foresman's American literature. You could get the teacher edition which includes the answers to discussion questions. I liked this text because it included works I would otherwise not have included. Again, some complete works but also some partial. EIther of these could be done independently with a motivated student 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking third time's the charm. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootAnn Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 48 minutes ago, HollyDay said: try searching by ISBN Oh, it was listed under the TE's ISBN. I got refunds since they was listed wrong. I just wish this didn't happen every time I order a Teacher Manual. I have even emailed and asked the vendor to physically put eyes on the text to make sure it was what it was listed as. They either say they did and it is fine (and thus Gove me a refund when it arrives and is a student text) or say it is too much work to check and I should just trust the process and order. So, I get a refund. It is a hassle!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymatters Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Jess Woods teaches American Literature with Excelsior. I've seen a self-made video where she visited Robert Frost's homesite. I could feel her excitement come through. However, I do think To Kill a Mockingbird should be on the list. https://excelsiorclasses.com/product/english-iii-american-literature/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
