New 05/2012 and need advice

[SDGmom]

I am not even sure that I am posting correctly! Help. We have come off 2 years of moves and building, resettling, etc., and I need to get on track. I would like to use the Classical Composition, but wow -- being a product of a poor PS "education" -- does the teacher's guide include definitions, etc., or are we to figure it out? I think I would like to use it for my 7th grader next year, but I am pretty intimidated, yet inspired to use this.

Any help?

My 14yo will take Lost Tools of Writing I this fall, and I found this composition through them, although I have known of MP for years.

Suggestions most gratefully accepted.

Hi, Colleen.

I think you will find that our teacher's manual has very good help for you, including definitions. We have inset the student workbook pages (keyed) into the teacher's guide, and we have notes for you around them. We also have a thorough introduction to the program in the teacher manual.

Regards,

Tanya
