Here’s Vicki with thoughts on How to Use ELA One Year Bundles 7Sisters

How to Adapt this ELA Bundle if your student has already completed one or more of the Cinema Studies for Literature Learning Guides included in it:

• It is absolutely okay to do those movie guides a second time, analyzing them with another year of maturity.
• You can purchase a movie guide that was NOT a part of the bundle you used in an earlier  grade and use it instead. We have lots of other Cinema Studies guides that were not a part of the Cinema Studies for Literature Learning curriculum bundle. Choose a title that looks like it could fit well into your year.
• It is also okay to choose to do only book-based lit. analysis, and leave out movies for the year.

We want you to make our curriculum fit your homeschooling needs, and we wanted to be sure you knew about this potential duplication before you made a decision about this bundle.

Customizing your 7Sisters ELA bundles is easy:

In a very general sense, when substituting titles to fit your homeschool — 1 book replaces 2 movies OR 2 movies replace 1 book.

Adapting the curriculum to college prep or honors level is explained in the Intro/How-to-Use file included for parents.

What people are saying:

“Hi, I just want to thank you for this curriculum!  The start of our Writing and Literature has been so wonderful!  We are not overwhelmed!  We are loving it!  This is just what my highs chool boys needed!   There have been smiles when writing the stories about their family!  Thank you so much!” -A.K.

This is our first year using your curriculum, 9th grade LA, and we are loving it! Such a gentle approach, yet to the point and thorough. – M.

We have used it for our 9th grader this year. She has liked it and I love it! I like that it is mostly student-led. My daughter has gotten a well-rounded writing and literature class with very good progress in her skills. We have already bought the 10th grade curriculum. – S.

We started the 9th grade bundle this year and my daughter has asked to use the curriculum for next year too. It is very gentle in the instruction, not overwhelming. We like the mix of books & movies for the literature piece. I like week by week syllabus of what to do/complete. We use daily grams from easy grammar for the addtl grammar they recommend. My daughter is dyslexic so it takes her longer to read assigned books than an average student, but we adjust the schedule as needed to accommodate that. – M.
