Classical Conversations Memory Master Markoff

Print on 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock

Color in ribbons that they pass off.

So, I needed something to keep the kids motivated to show their progress.  I made this to give out on the last day of each Quarter.  You color in the ones that they achieved Memory Master in.  Hopefully, it will make them want to try harder to actually become a Memory Master at the end of the Year.  It also makes a good progress report for their homeschool portfolio.

I'm going to give the kids 2 chances to get it.  Last day of each Quarter, and 1st day of the next Quarter.  I figure if they're close, they can still try for it.  There really are no official rules, as I made this up myself. The official Memory Master is hard... so giving Quarter and Semester progress reports can show them that they CAN do it!

Tentative Schedule
I have a lot of children with different ages and needs.  I find doing Co-Ops are great for accomplishing everyone's different level, as well as giving me a mom or two to bounce ideas off of.  I pay for the PE class, karate & music lessons (and occasionally a math tutor).  Horseback riding lessons, Lego Robotics, and maybe even a Shakespeare Play Group is on my wish list.  These last three I see as being extra, and will be used as a reward for good effort in school work.

Every year I make the plan... and usually a couple months into it, it has changed.  But here's a go at it.  I hope it will help you in your own plans.

CC Challenge A Literature

We are doing our own Classical Conversations Challenge A at home.  

We are not part of an official group.

In our tiny group, we are combining all age groups.  (K-7)  Younger kids write one paragraph including two sentences from each paragraph that the older kids would be writing, as well as a Topic sentence, and a conclusion sentence.

Goal:

2 Regular Papers covering Exposition, Climax and Conclusion

2 Critiques / Reviews

2 Persuasive Essays

_______________________________________________________________________________

Amos Fortune

We used the checklist from "All Things Fun and Fanciful" Busy Beavers.

Older kids wrote 3 paragraphs on the Exposition, Climax and Conclusion.

We introduced the Story Chart from IEW's Teaching Classics seminar.

Encouraged to make a Key Word Outline at home.

Write a paper from the outline.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Story Chart for the Bronze Bow

We used the checklist from "Bible Lessons" from IEW, Lesson 7, pg. 31 to write our paper.

3 paragraph paper.

1.  Exposition   2.  Climax   3.  Conclusion

Be sure to include the Theme in the paper.

We spoke about the Conflict and the Theme during our class time.

Encouraged to make a Key Word Outline at home.

Write a paper from the outline.



_______________________________________________________________________________

Carry On, Mr. Bowditch
Rough Draft Due:  2/14/13
Since this is our first Critique, do as much as you can.  Type it.  Mark it up.  Get feedback on how to finish it.
Final Draft Due:  3/7/13 - First day of Q4 along with other reading.

We used the checklist from "Bible Lessons" from IEW, Lesson 29, pg. 123 to write our paper.

Pg. 118 is very helpful also.  Just gives suggested words to describe the paper.

Focus:  Critique

Do not use the word "I" when writing this paper.

Older group:  

Paragraph I:  Introduction:  (author's name, etc.)

Paragraph II: Character and Setting

Paragraph III:  Problem/ Conflict

Paragraph IV:  Climax/ Resolution

Paragraph V:  Conclusion:  (liked, disliked, value and why) 

Be sure that your last sentence in paragraph V reflects the topic sentence in paragraph I.

Use all 6 sentence openers in each paragraph.   

Dressups: Minimum Rule:  One each per paragraph   

(ly, w/w, sv, QA, www)    

Decorations:  3sss, alliteration or simile

Triples:  See below.  Try in one paragraph.                                              

Younger group:

Paragraph I:  Introduction:  (author's name, etc.)

In your paper, just list: Paragraph II, III and IV- but do not write them.  (Pretend they're there.)

Paragraph V:  Conclusion:  (liked, disliked, value & why)

Can use fewer Sentence Openers, 1-4.

Dressups: Minimum Rule:  One each per paragraph   

(ly, w/w, sv, QA, www)     

Decorations:  alliteration or simile per paragraph                                                                                       

Triples not needed.

Be sure that your last sentence in paragraph V reflects the topic sentence in paragraph I.

Older and Younger group:

We made a Key Word Outline for paragraph V on the white board up above on the left side.

Can write one or two sentences for likes, dislikes and value... with a topic sentence and a conclusion.

In Checklist:

Triples are NEW to us.

Download the FREE AP for IEW called IEW Writing Tools.
