Writing Progression :)
Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2010 7:03 pm
Hello ladies,
I am primarily a HOD message board lurker
although I did ask a placement question a long time ago. I have a whole bunch of questions but I am finding the answers as I search these wonderful boards! 
In my quest for answers (I am a HOD user wannabe and I'm currently figuring out my "plan". I was able to purchase 3 HOD guides and I'm LOVING reading through them and considering a good game plan for my crew.) I am not finding something explaining HOD's writing progression. I need to wrap my mind around the general writing "philosophy" and perhaps a short summary of how it is fleshed out from one guide to the next. I DO understand how copywork, narration and dictation lay the groundwork for strong writing skills. I do see how these are used extensively in LHFHG, BLHFHG and BHFHG (the 3 guides I have). I am wondering what happens next . Where are the guides taking us in terms of writing? The main writing philosophy that I am familiar with is Susan Wise Bauer's as outlined in her book and in her lectures. She also starts with the same skill progression and builds a strong foundation for expository writing. I guess I'm wondering how I can find out where we're going in HOD. If this makes NO sense please ask. Getting what is in my brain out onto paper isn't always pretty 
. I am happy to read a thread addressing my questions if you can link me to one!
By the way, I have found the message boards here to be refreshing, encouraging, challenging (good counsel), and God glorifying. There is a Christ-like spirit here and it's so comfortable to me! Thanks for maintaining high standards ladies!!
