| | | | | | | Resource Focus for the month of July
| | | Introduction to Literature is a college-preparatory literature and composition course. Focus works, including novels, short stories, poems, and drama, have been selected for literary quality, and for their place in the historical development of literature. Context readings provide background information about the author, the historical period, and the literary and artistic context of the focus work. Students will gain an understanding of the development of literature and will practice the skills of close literary analysis through essays, approach papers, and other evaluative writing. You may learn more about how I chose the literature for Excellence in Literature in this blog post. | | | | Transcripts made Easy
You know the time is coming when your homeschooled teen will need a transcript. If you'd rather spend time with people than paperwork, Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler's Guide to High School Paperwork is written for you? It's all you need to know about home school transcripts, high school diplomas, and simple record-keeping. How do you count those extra curricular activities, honors credits, and dual enrollment? Find out in this book. No confusing software; create great looking transcripts with your current word processing software.
