Sooo...Im just sort of pondering this a lil bit...One last thought I will mention that won't pertain to Florence's question, but will pertain for those of you possibly thinking of using HOD's younger 4 year sequence of guides from CTC on up for high school instead, it would likely work (with some beefing up as suggested) to give 1 full credit of world history for CTC and RTR together. Then, you could likely give one full credit of American history for the last two guides in the history cycle together, also awarding 1 full geography credit upon completing all 4 guides (with 1/4 credit awarded each year). That would only leave you to add a semester of government and a semester of personal finance or economics to complete your "history" portion of the 4 x 4 plan. Another option would be to just give a history credit each year that you use HOD in high school (as you would definitely have the time needed to earn one credit each year) and just make sure that you cover all needed areas (i.e American, World, Geography, Government/Economics or Finance) within the 4 credits that you award throughout high school for the history portion.
Can you give me more specific ideas?
What exactly would this look like?
Basically it would break down like this:
1 world history credit for CTC and RTR
1 american history credit for Rev to Rev and MTMM
1 geography credit for all guides combined
(Add 1 government and ecconomics course to this)
What am I missing?
I would need to add literature beyond 9tb (which I could use DITHR)
I like the look of Caesars English...but I not sure what overlaps with rod and staff
Science.....
I have no idea!
Maybe I could follow timberdoodles highschool science plan, which I like. I am open to suggestions though!
What else am I missing?
I will have to ponder this since it just might be the best solution for my oldest.
Thanks for any help you can give!
