Res to Ref, big step up./ Shakespeare
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 3:59 pm
Hoping to return to HS and HOD in the fall. My son turns 12 this month and went from Bigger last year to 6th grade ps this year. Looking back I wish I had put him in Preparing, although we did enjoy Bigger a lot. He transitioned well, though. I am thinking of moving him up to Res to Ref based on the placement chart. We have R&S 5 on the shelf not used, and would have to place him for math. I think it will be a little challenging at first, but I think he will rise to it fairly quickly. It looks so full and perfect for "coming of age". I know that's not a lot of info on him, but I think I just needed a sounding board.
He reads well, retains well, had some literature, does not write.cursive, can write a paragraph, and could do the 8-12 sentence narration with some encouragement , because he doesn't like the physical part of writing.
There are couple of requests from the ladies who have done Res to Ref, anything particular about the guide that stands out to keep in mind skill wise- challenges your dc met.
Another reason I want to place him in this guide is to not place too far down with high school just ahead.
And what are some reasons for including the Shakespeare portion. I thought we studied Shkpr. in high school., not middle school. And opinion re: the "magic" element in the Tempest. ( I understand that could be different for different families.)
There is a lot here, I appreciate your kind responses.
