FO4UR Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Do you choose the copywork and narration passages on a weekly basis or do you plan it out in advance? (and how far in advance, if you do) I am wondering if my choices would change based on ds's progress through the year, or if I should indulge my compulsion to plan and play with Startwrite???:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemama Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I am using year 3 in WWE with my son and when we started the workbook wasn't out yet. It may not be still. I plan out passages in advance, because I don't have time to do it on a weekly basis. I have a planning time during our breaks from school (we school year-round with three week breaks quarterly). I am pulling my passages from a book called Everyday Graces: A Child's Book of Good Manners. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I planned out the whole year - 36 weeks of lessons. The copywork sentences gradually get more difficult and the narration passages slowly get longer. I followed the guidelines in the text fairly closely for each week. (I imagine that the notebook I created looks very similar to the workbook.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariasmommy Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Well, I'm kind of haphazard in my planning - sometimes it gets all planned out at the beginning of the week, and sometimes it doesn't, so I decide what I'm going to do that day (not the best method, though:tongue_smilie:). I can't see myself planning a whole year or even several weeks in advance, but that's just me.:) We're actually getting near the end of our history/liturature program (Sonlight Core 1) but we've still got about 6 weeks of WWE 1 left after that, so I've ordered the workbook to help us finish out the year and make sure we're on track. I really like the history notebook we have from this year using WWE, but I'm not sure I have the confidence to continue it next year without the workbook... Anyway, sorry if this is confusing - probably too much info about me:tongue_smilie:. If you have the confidence to plan and help your child with narrations, I'm sure it will go fine.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappyhappymama Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I pull mostly from our read alouds, and I don't have those planned out for the entire year, so I can't prepare all the copywork in advance. But I generally do about a month or at least several weeks at a time. Startwrite is so fun to play with! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 I think I'm going to plan the whole year. I spent a good deal of time pouring over WWE this weekend, and I think it'll be pretty easy to do. ds6 already narrates pretty well so I might just wing-it for narrations, keeping the WWE guidelines in mind, and start writing them down for him a couple times per week. I think finding copywork will be fun. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
