I’m setting up the organizer for our next year and want to have dd complete one notebook entry for each book she reads independently (history, literature, etc.). She will be narrating daily, but I would like a final entry as it were for her portfolio. Any suggestions for the best way to schedule this?
Also, she will begin written narrations this year and we’ll use her literature books for this. The study method I chose is read & narrate (meaning daily). However, once per week, I would like a written narration. Should I just remember this in my head and tell her that day or is there a good way to schedule this?
Thanks,
Christie
For the notebook entry after each book read, you could add a resource with the book title and Notebook Entry and schedule it to Start After its corresponding book. So if she were assigned Viking Adventures, for example, you could add a resource called Viking Adventures Notebook Entry and schedule it to Start After Viking Adventures. That way, once you Finish the last chapter of Viking Adventures, the notebook entry would pop into place.
For the once-a-week written narrations, are you planning on those happening on the same day every week; for example, every Friday? Or do you want flexibility to pick and choose which narration during the week you want written?
Sonya,
Thanks for the quick response. I love the notebook entry idea and will implement that!
For the written narrations, I was thinking of a specific day, but am open to suggestions of what’s best and how to do either.

I’ve thought of another question. I’ve purchased a great little dictionary of idioms and would like for dd to learn 1-2 per week. I’m thinking to have her look them up, perhaps copy or just use them verbally in conversation, but am wondering how I might set this up – Input the actual dictionary w/ blank divisions and let her find her own 2 each week, input named divisions (ie. cool it) and have her find those or ??? or input a resource called Idiom of the Week? Ideas welcome.
Having a set day of the week will be easiest. You could add a resource called Written Narrations and schedule it for every Friday, say. Then it will pop up on Fridays to remind both of you that she is to do a written narration that day. You could add a note specifying which book/chapter/event she wrote the narration about.
If you wanted to have the flexibility to pick and choose which narration you wanted done in written form during the week, it would probably work well to just keep it in mind. Then add a note to the book/chapter you select, specifying that that particular narration was written.
For the idioms dictionary, here are some thoughts. If you want a record that you used a particular book (the idiom dictionary), go ahead and enter that resource. If you’re more interested in the idioms themselves, enter a generic resource called Idiom of the Week.
Just thinking how it probably would have worked with my girls, she might know more idioms than you realize. So specifying which ones she should learn each week might be a waste of time. It might be better to allow her to find her own “new” ones. So you could enter division type as “Idiom” and put in enough divisions to allow for the weeks you want to use the book. Then you can add a note spelling out the idiom as she chooses it.
