HSHSP Ep 115: How to Plan Language Arts for Homeschool Highschool

This week on HSHSP Ep 115: How to Plan Language Arts for Homeschool Highschool. HSHSP Ep 115: How to Plan Language Arts for Homeschool Highschool How can you know what to plan for when organizing your materials for your teens' homeschool highschool Language Arts credits. * Reading (Literature) * Writing * Grammar * Vocabulary * Public Speaking Reading There's not one right way to choose books for homeschool highschool. For students with learning disabilities or career-bound teens they may need more practical reading and/or audiobooks. Think at least one book per month with a literature study guide (follow guidelines for ability level usage in each 7SistersHomeschool.com's Literature Study Guides). Then fill out the list with Bible reading, magazines, poetry, etc that interests them. Discuss this with you supervisory advisor for exactly what can be counted. Writing Writing is as important as reading. Everyone needs to be able to write efficiently. * 1 research paper (think about over the 4 years of highschool: 1 APA paper, 1 MLA paper, 1 Chicago paper and repeat one of them for the 4th year). Lengths of the paper vary by ability, interest and grade. * 4 5-paragraph essays * 4 other kind of writing (business, poetry, short story, etc) * Check 7Sisters' writing guides for no-busywork, user-friendly, success-oriented writing curriculum! Grammar Grammar is necessary for homeschool highschool. However, teens who have a practical mastery of grammar rules may find that editing their papers is enough grammar (proof that they understand grammar usage). Vocabulary Vocabulary is part of being well prepared for life. All homeschool highschoolers need some vocabulary study each year. However, teens who are headed to college need to lean heavily into vocabulary. 7Sisters literature study guides include vocabulary but more can be added with specific courses or online games like FreeRice.com. Public Speaking Public Speaking needs to be part of your homeschool highschooler's yearly experience. It can be as simply as prayer at a large family gathering. However, for teens who are willing to stretch, they can do a full-year course or a speech team or any variant of that. 7SistersHomeschool.com has a curriculum that is popular with speech teams, co-ops and group classes.
