Gini Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I was looking at Classical Writing's beginning poetry, but, MAN!! it's so expensive. There are some less expensive ones in Rainbow catalog, but I can't tell from the write-up what's good and what's not. Any of you ladies have good experiences with any particular course?? I'd like to hear about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 We do one lesson/week. Get the SM & TM - $30. You can buy it from CBD or Rainbow. Samples: http://www.logosschool.com/materials/shop/item.asp?itemid=28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 CW's Poetry is pricey, but MAN, it's good! My dd loves it and it's been a lot of fun to study. I have a friend who used the Grammar of Poetry and liked it a lot, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Michael Clay Thompson's LA curriculum has poetry books for each level. They look very meaty. I'm going to give them a go, but haven't actually tried them yet, so can't report on actual use yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 For younger kids (under 6th) we use Evan-Moor's Read and Understand Poetry and the Logo's School books mentioned earlier - Poetry Primer and The Grammar of Poetry - for older kids (6th and up).

Paintedlady Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 We've been using EIW's poetry curriculum for the last year and we LOVE it! It is pricey, but it's probably an easy 3 years worth of curriculum, so when I took that into consideration, it's only a little over $20 a year. Not bad. hth! http://www.excellenceinwriting.com/index.php?q=product/developing-linguistic-patterns-through-poetry-memorization-book-and-cds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
