    I am getting the plan ready for high school next year and started looking at the function of both Lightening Lit and BF.  They both analyze the books, have research papers, thoughtful questions.  I am acutally using both this year, which is where my question comes from.  Is this overkill in the literary analysis?  I haven’t seen any of the Lightening Lit high school, so please keep that in mind.  What is the benefit of using both?  Or should I just choose one or the other?  I DO know that this year has been very “full” using both simultaneously.  Maybe I am just missing something…I don’t know.  Please someone spell this out for my tired brain. 

     

    Thanks

    ghreed,

    We used both in 11th grade and it went well.  We only used one LL course over the course of a whole year, along side the first half of BF U.S. & World History.   I believe the recommendation is two, but I really just wanted it as a supplement and didn’t want overkill so we spread it out.  I believe LL and BF offer two different things.  LL offered poetry and prose study in addition to literature, whereas BF was geared more toward just literature.  I’m sorry I don’t remember specific details, but maybe I could ask our dd.  What LL courses and BF guides are you planning to combine? 

     

    Blessings,

    Melissa

    I was looking at us and world history. For bf and combining with ll in the same time period. I really like the way ll works as well. I just thought 2 ll courses per year plus bf would be a bit much…
