Extractions: Comment: I've been homeschooling for 7 years. When my oldest was readyfor 4th grade I began to worry. Until then I'd subscribed to a mostlyunschooling philosophy since I was only teaching one very young,highly motivated child who loved to read. She seemed to learn almostin spite of anything I did. Still, I would have occasional panicattacks and research curriculum packages and publishers. I boppedaround a lot trying to find a good fit. Then 4th grade loomed. Isuddenly had 2 homeschoolers, one just learning to read and write, theother beginning to (consciously and unconsciously) ask for morestructure. I needed to get organized!! This book was recommended ona list I belong to...people either loved it or hated it depending onhow much unschooling meant to them. So I gave it a shot and I mustsay The Well Trained Mind has made me excited about homeschooling allover again! I now have 3 active homeschoolers, my oldest in 7thgrade. I don't follow the schedules to the letter. The authors neversuggest you do. But this book has given me the confidence andresource lists to discover I can not only provide an adequateeducation for multiple children and age levels...I can provide animpressively superior education!

Extractions: Specific Authors Shakespeare ... Criticisms While it is expected that the web resources listed below will be in support of the literature content and focus for the ninth and tenth grades of high school, it in no way is limited to use in those early secondary classrooms. It iwas assembled with the idea that the early secondary classrooms will focus on the genre, elements, themes, and methods of literature. If this is not the curricular organization you follow, you will need to look carefully at all of the resources and how they are organized for easy identification and access. The resources presented under the heading of Eleventh and Twelfth Grade literature resources are organized into more manageable groupings to reduce search time. The broad categories of American and English Literature are presented first. However, if you are searching for a specific author or work, it may be cited in both the broad and a more specific category. While this has been organized to meet the content and focus of the later secondary classroom, all of the resources have been included because of their appropriateness to the secondary level literature class.
