Jill, I was reviewing your HS syllabus (the one in the files) and wondered if you might share with us what source you use for vocabulary? Thank you for this...
... It is a rather cruddy source that I got in a box of used stuff someone dropped off at my house last year! I plan to revamp it and put it in the files along...
Hi everyone, I don't know if this is legal (Jill?) but if it is, can someone who owns Andrew's "Developing Linguistic Patterns Through Poetry Memorization"...
Hello friends - We are getting ready to begin Unit FIVE in coop. This is WRITING A STORY FROM PICTURES. I have NOT watched the DVDs yet and will find time to...
Since there are 80 (I think) poems in the book, I don't think anyone would want to type up all the titles. They are a wide variety of excellent poems with...
I've been taking my high school class through a research essay and have found the following that I thought might help someone else: - Probably more time needs...

I have a co-op that used the SWI B this year for the first semester using Jill's 16 week supplement which was a life savor by the way. We are using the Bible-...
