Thanks for your thoughts, Christianmom, and for letting me know how you handled it!

For US1, it tells us to copy only the maps but not the questions that go with them, but the guide says to answer the questions. Are these questions intended to be answered in the map book itself, on a copy of that page, or orally?

Thanks,

Thank you again for the help, Christianmom!

Christianmom, thank you so much for your reply! We have also used CLE English I. It's nice to know your son enjoyed the creative writing portion so much and that you used the extra time to allow him to write longer stories. Thank you for sharing that the Constitutional Literacy involves so much crit...

Hi, We are considering US1 for my dd, who will be a junior this fall. She is solid in grammar and has had practice with the different types of essays and MLA formatting/research papers. I think she would like the creative writing in US1, but I also want to continue to shore up her essay writing as w...

Hi,

Is American poetry covered in the US1 guide? If not, when is it covered? Is there something I could add to the US1 guide to cover it?

Thank you, Stephanie!

Hi,

How much of what was covered in the dvds previously will we be missing out on in the 4th edition? I was reading Carrie's original thread introducing the WH scienc...

Hi, I have a rising 9th grader and have been looking at the introduction to the WG guide. I was wondering if you would consider posting samples of the grading pages actually filled in. When I look at these pages, I see percentages for the different areas, but not exactly how to come up with the scor...

Thanks, Victorytrain. We already have been writing in the workbook and wrote on the checklist itself, so I'm trying to determine if it would be best to rip it out and keep it with the writing assignment. I'm not sure what was intended.

Thanks,

Hi,

The IEW guide says the student is to turn in their final draft with the checklist for that lesson paper-clipped to it, and then store the checklist with the paper in the binder. Are we to rip it out of the student book?

Thanks,
Kathy

Thank you! We are trying an online class, and will see how it goes. The teacher supplements the text and worksheets with Duolingo, so I'm thankful my dd already has experience with it.
Hopefully the class will work out!
