ElizabethB Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Some funny book titles were posted on the Trivium Mastery thread, I thought it would be fun to see what some more of your book titles would be for your theoretical book on teaching the trivium. You can even have 2 or 3 if you wish! Here's some that were posted on the other thread to give you ideas, then mine. WTMindy: "Obsessive Compulsive Chart Making in the Trivium” Elegantlion: "Educating the next generation of active learners or how to read while bouncing on an exercise ball" Mama Bear: a chapter in WTMindy’s “Obsessive Compulsive Chart Making” called "Color coding success in Excel" Mine: “On the use of Webster’s Speller and Syllabary and the Over-teaching of Phonics, Spelling, and Syllabification in the Trivium” Edited April 18, 2009 by ElizabethB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The Obsessive Home Educator Fanatic's Guide to Combining Three Program Plans in a Simple Seven-Hour Day Program and Half-Day Saturday School Every Other Week (with Optional Supplements) I can relate, why can't I just settle on one instead of doing it all? The Trivium's Effect on Library Fines: Considerations for Opening a Family Bookstore Good one, I just tallied up the late fees between all 5 of our library cards, the grand total $486 (that is after I paid $20 towards one of the cards on Thursday), yikes.

ElizabethB Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Book Junkies: How to single-handedly keep the economy afloat by buying every single book or curriculum suggested on homeschooling message boards. :) Someone's got to do it! I mainly have a phonics book collection and books from the 1800's, but I'm considering starting a math book collection. So far I have Singapore and RS, considering Miquon.

squirtymomma Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well, I didn't want to mention it, but I will be releasing " The Classically Eclectically Rigorously Relaxed Montessori Waldorf-Inspired Charlotte Mason Unschooling Approach: The Only Way To Homeschool" in 2010.

Avila Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hmm. This year's is "Buy and Ditch: The Art of Keeping Your Children Confused and Guessing by Switching Curricula Multiple Times Before the School Year Even Starts." Of course, this is only written for moms with kids old enough to ask questions and care about what they are using. Previous years' would have to be "One, Two, Three Approaches Are Never Enough or the More, the Merrier Method of Homeschooling." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria/ME Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Book Junkies: How to single-handedly keep the economy afloat by buying every single book or curriculum suggested on homeschooling message boards. 1) Is this how-to disguiesed as self help? Cause that's what I really need! 2)When is the release date? Although I've bought so much curriculum this year it may be out of my budget...on the other hand, "what's one more?" is always my motto!

Maria/ME Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 You missed this one from Maria/ME. ;) Thanks for mentioning it, but I believe I've had to divide it into two volumes, so the release date has been put back..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to take twice as long to finish the Trivium as everyone else. I figured out today (while taking a midday bath to calm my braxton hicks) that it has taken my 12 yo 2 years to finish his curriculum since we started on TWTM. :001_huh: And, that makes no sense. As in we started with TWTM for last school year. We are still doing SOTW 1 amongst other things. He and his brother did finish their Handwriting books though.
