Hakg Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 For a 13yo kid (boy) who is loving WWS 1, what would recommendations be for teaching essay writing. I was going to look at LTOW but understand it is very similar to IEW (which he abhorred). Would love to hear your suggestions for something that would gel with a program like WWS.

NormaElle Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 WWS seems pretty ... thorough. I thought it was a comprehensive expository writing program (including essays). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakg Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 oh okay. We are only in WWS1 and I read somewhere here that it does not teach essay writing. If it does - great! Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 WWS is mostly the trees. If you want something that will give a few snapshots of the forest without taking a lot of time or giving a ton of assignments, you might enjoy Thinking In Threes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakg Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks very much! Off to check out the link and also Thinking in Threes (had not heard of this). I know what you mean about the 'trees'.. this is my concern at present - its hard to trust in the process at times when you cannot see some immediate progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
