I am working hard to plan ahead for the coming year even though we are still right in the midst of this one. DD14 wants to take summer 2016 mostly off, so that will be new. I want to use already planned materials and give myself a break to just mentor and enjoy.
Math (1 credit) – MUS Algebra I (will have tutor as needed)
Science (1 credit) – Apologia Biology with local kids & tutor
History (1 credit) – EpiKardia American History I with Classes By Beth online class
Foreign Language (1 credit) – Latin I with Classical Academic Press online class
Logic (1/2 credit as is, maybe 1 with the previously completed Bluedorn books) – The Art of Argument with Classical Academic Press online class
CM Co-op Studies -Cumulative through the years: hymns, folk songs, nature study, artist/picture study, poet study, composer study, pe, plus additional course fall and spring terms. Additional 1/2 credit courses unknown just yet, but maybe Speech & Communication for one term.
Art (1 credit) – Drawing on History
English (1-2 credits) – This one is up in the air as I am totally undecided.
- Grammar & Mechanics – We will have finished our study and will simply periodically review. Apply in writing.
- Spelling – This is a natural weakness so we will attack a couple of ways including prepared dictation and Phonetic Zoo and/or Mega Words
- Literature & Composition – I have too many options right now. Summer 2015 will definitely be Essay Styles Intensive with Classes by Beth online (1/2 or 1 credit, not sure yet).
- Center for Lit Jr. High Discussion Only or Discussion & Writing (all new titles for her, I think). She likes the discussion only format she’s doing right now.
- Lightning Literature – 2 courses
- American Early to Mid 19th Century (the Ben Franklin will be being read as part of history so a good tie-in and Moby Dick won’t be happening as she would revolt)
- American Mid to Lath 19th Century (she’s already read Jack London’s books and Huckleberry Finn)
- Excellence in Literature – 1 or parts of 2 courses
- Introduction to Literature (She read Animal Farm last year.)
- Literature & Composition – new titles for her
- Lost Tools of Writing I – composition only, but can tie to Lit and His readings. Not sure if this will be overkill.
- Power in Your Hands – composition only, but I think I can tie it to readings. Not sure if this will be overkill.
- Seven Sisters Homeschool – Choose individual Book guides to use
- Would definitely like someone else to look over her papers and not just me. I can do it, I just need a bit of a break.
I welcome feedback, esp. in the English category. Will LToW be too much after Essay Styles?
Thank you,
Christie
