Tree House Academy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This is a next year plan...but I wanted to get opinions from those who have BTDT. If your child completed WT II, did they then move directly to CW Homer or did you do CW Aesop first? I know a lot of WT II is Aesop, so just wondering. Will he be missing something? Also, my child is not a great writer just yet - he is working on it...but writing is not his greatest strength. He is doing well with WT though. What else do you use with CW Homer? Did/do you use a seperate grammar and/or literature? This year, I am using a combo of LLATL, GWG 4, and WT II. I pick and pull from each and make my own English curriculum. Where is the best place to buy CW Homer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Theophan Academy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I can't give you a complete answer - but, we did most of CW Aesop A - and then I got frustrated and thought WT would be a nice change of pace - I quickly realized it was far too redundant and easy after going through CW. I have not looked at WT 2 - but my understanding is that WT 1 & 2 cover pretty much similar material to CW Aesop - and I think you probably do not need to do both. You definitely would not want to do CW Aesop A - that would be taking a step back in my opinion. I have not used CW Aesop B, so I cannot comment directly on it, but - if you feel your child had grasped the concepts of rewriting a fable presented in WT - then I would move on to Homer myself.

Amy from WT Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 WT 1 and 2 completely cover the same Progym Level that is covered in CW Aesop, and even a little bit of the same material that is in Homer is covered in WT Level 2. Do not even consider doing CW Aesop - move right on into Homer! Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
