Janell, I agree; we go onto many wonderful rabbit trails, in-depth character (as you said “heart”) and plot discussions and the questioning comes naturally here; almost too much as we can get bogged down in discussing sometimes. I started reading classics when I hit around age 10, if you don’t count Little House series before that age. I am looking forward to the focus and mental discipline that I’m hoping TtC will provide.
To help put my list into perpsective: I should add in that Biblical Hebrew isn’t a big deal after Modern, so even though ds has 3 languages down for the high school years, two will be in not be new to them.
For my dd, same thing; her two languages will be Biblical Hebrew, like I said, will be relatively easy after many years of Modern, and continuing Latin.
Winston’s doesn’t cover something-I think mechanics, like punctuation and capitalization, etc.
It uses parsing instead of diagramming.
That’s all I know!
