Marcia and Dana,

Thank you for your response to my question. It sounds like you are working on some great ideas to provide for students who are between the dialectic and rhetoric levels. Our...

Hi,

Last year there was some discussion about tweaking the dialectic level literature in Y1-Y3 to be more similar to what is found in Y4. Providing a bridge between the level of work at the...

Kacie,

In our co-op, one mom had her son read Little Men instead of Little Women. My personal feeling is that it's great literature and it shouldn't matter. Once they get started, they usually...

Jen,

You might want to contact Lampstand Press and request permission to have this entire summary. As always, they carefully point out each potential concern with specific pages and comments. ...

Hi,

I just sent you an email with some tips that have helped us with our transparency maps.

Have fun!

Hi,

I think you may be confused about the maps because the first week of every year plan is a huge geography review week. Most likely, you will pick and choose what you want to do with your...

Beth Ann,

I will answer what I think is correct, but you may want to call customer service to verify, before you decide what will serve your family best. You are correct that the workbook pages...

Hi Beth Ann,

We started TOG the same your you did. I know what you mean about forgetting how it worked back then http://tapestryofgrace.groupee.net/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif A lot...

Tami,

I don't really have an answer for you, but wanted to share our experience with the movie. We watched Pride and Prejudice right before we started Y4. My son was starting 9th grade at the...

Heather,

Another reason to read online for now is that I think Christy is still tweaking these documents. I don't want to speak out of turn and it's hard to keep track of everything, but I...

Hi,

I agree with April, I like to buy from Bookshelf Central to support our Tapestry friends. The prices at BSC are very competitive with other online stores. In addition, I know Dana passes on...

Hi,

I spoke to Dana about the 1980's title and she told me they are not using it at all in Y4. If I am remembering correctly, the quality of the writing was inferior on that particular book, so...

Hi Christy,

Thanks for posting the reading assignments on the Loom for Unit 4. Our boys are excited about all the Science Fiction in Unit 4. Have you already updated Poetics for the assignments...

I agree, this is a tough choice to make. I would want to do Y4, because it really does a great job preparing students for understanding our world today. However, it is a very difficult year in...

Meredith,

It's true! It works great and DE gives you so many choices. When you open a unit in DE, you will see all the weeks listed down the right side of the page. When you click on a week #,...

Another option is to use library tracking software to sort/track all your books. In addition to purchasing the software (very inexpensive), you can buy a scanner that reads the barcode. If you plan...

New to Rhetoric-so far so good http://tapestryofgrace.groupee.net/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Janet, I am always so encouraged by your posts. I have learned so much from the questions...

I'm not Marcia, but I think I can help answer your question. You can have the Y3 Anthology added to your DE for $25 or you can purchase the CD for $25. Either way it's an optional, digital...

Sharie,

I don't know if my suggestions will help you with your need, but perhaps it will be helpful to someone. I have found a few tips for managing the vast amount of information in Poetics....

Just wanted to add that the maps for this unit feature many countries. It's a great unit for Map Aids! I've already printed them for both my D and R students and look forward to an in depth study...

Barb,

Thanks for your suggestion. I think I understand what you're suggesting, but I can't find an analysis outline in Y4 U1 or U2. I've done a search in Poetics and in both units. All I found...

Christy,

I was wondering, do you have a chart or graphic organizer of some sort to show students how all the literary terms are related? Our young R group is finding it challenging to keep track...

Hi Jana!

Yes, please let us know what you find out. Can we drive over and participate when you get it all figured out http://tapestryofgrace.groupee.net/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I...

One important thing to keep in mind with "The Guide" is that it's a primary resource for D students for the entire year. It is very cost effective to purchase one book for the year compared to...

Thanks for your reply! I am not very confidant in my ability to coach and grade these papers. I couldn't find any samples of the Literary Analysis Papers in WA either. The grading rubric is very...
