Gamom3 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I want my kids to write more papers...I am not one to come up with ideas on what to write. We were using IEW and it was ok. I learned what I needed and then we went from there. I would have them work on a paper every 2wks..gave them a topic and they went from there. Most of the time they waited until the last minute to do the paper. I would love something that would say write a narrative, research, expository..etc and here are some topics. Then I could use IEW for how to do those papers. Anything out there like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I thought through the kind of pieces I wanted Calvin to write (imaginative, expository, argument, etc.) then worked through the history topics for the year, picking out kinds of essays to write in turn. I came up with this list for SOTW 3 - doing a whole year in advance made it easy. Best wishes Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could come up with one for sOTW2?! I love how organized you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Organised on some things, but you should see my kitchen counter - that little square right by the phone is four layers deep in chaos. I'm afraid I worked orally on SOTW 2 with both boys, so no lists in the offing. I'm working on SOTW 4 though. I came up with the list when I was considering doing a pre-organised history core one year. I realised that all I really wanted was essay topics, so took a deep breath and wrote some.
