English

[cat323]

I would like to know who uses what to teach English Grammar/Lit  to their highschoolers. I have used ABeka -- which we do not like for jr/sr high school. we have used Easy Grammar Plus for a few yrs now so I really dont want to use it again one more yr!

I will have a senior and a sophmore and Im looking for something different for a change.......after hs for so many yrs Im kind of in a rut when it comes to teaching Eng.  so any ideas are greatly welcomed!!

I have looked at a few of the sites where I buy my materials but hearing about things first hand is such a huge help!

Thanks!!

We've used Write With the Best vol one and two

And we've used Wordsmith two volumes.

Mostly I just have them pick something to write one week and start it, write the rest of it the next week. The third week they are supposed to polish and edit then turn in the piece.

HTH,
