?? about extension packages

Post by playschool » Fri Jun 05, 2009 12:16 pm

I have heard that in the Appendix, there is a schedule for the extension packages. Does the Appendix also list assignments to go with the extension readings? Thanks!

I know in BHFHG it includes the schedule for the extension readings. I'm sure it does in the other guides also.

Hi playschool :D !

I can tell you what I have learned from experience and recent posts. Bigger and Preparing both have schedules for the extension readings in the back of the book. There are no assignments. This link should take you to "Preread Extension Books" which has an awesome explanation by Carrie for how to handle extensions from a teacher's perspective. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3930 Also, if you are planning to do Preparing extensions, you don't need to buy the deluxe package of books because the extension package will take the place of the Independent History Study section each day. This link, to topic "Ordering Preparing", should explain. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3954

Hope this helps.
Sarah

Thank you Sarah! The last link you posted really helped me a lot in knowing what to expect from my older in regards to the extension readings. Thanks again!

Thank you Sarah for posting that link! Somehow I missed that. I really wanted to know how the author thought the whole narration/notebooking with the older extension-students should work out.
