A and I method for language arts.
Preparation
- choose a model --
- write notes (see History, Geography ideas)
Process
1. Read, discuss, analyze (5Ws, graphic organizers) -- focus on different parts -- sometimes find 2 retellings to compare and contract, or activate prior knowledge.
2. Start outlining story. Word analysis -- not necessarily using the model -- outside in -- apply knowledge in easy form to the model, perhaps.
3. Write the story. Sentence analysis -- grammar, usage.
4. Revise story and correct. Read other background material or do extensions.
5. Write final draft. Review of what has been learned that week.
------------------------------------
Math
- One lesson every day (concept, and related problems).
- Review (selected problems -- draw from Ray's Arithmetic, Core Knowledge, Comp Curriculum)
- Math journal on one day -- how to do something/copywork.
- Game or Quia occasionally.
---------------------------------
History and Geography
- read the text
- choose a subject to research further
- find locations on atlas
- mark timeline
- story for the progym (primary source, or retelling)
- draw a picture of an artifact, or a diagram
-----------------------
Notebook for History
- Century pages (cardstock?)
- separate articles between century pages
- maps, miscellaneous pages like DK/Usborne format
- Little books (detachable)
- Include art, science history, and some journaling/essay questions.
When I look through their books I ought to quickly make a list:
- Persons -- Places -- Events -- Topics ---
- then activitiy ideas, writing, discussion ideas, correlations and extensions
- (make a template?)
-----------------------------
Science
- Nomenclature Cards,
- Minit Books,
- Games
- Posters or fact sheets or the equivalent
- Decide on a topic
- Reed a few different books -- take notes/narrations -- find overlapping information.
- Make some review-type materials -- visuals.
- Experiments, projects, field work.
