I'm sure this is fascinating reading for the random visitor. But for you homeschool moms out there like me compiling your own work, a la Charlotte Mason here is my selection of vocabulary for The Call of the Canyon by Zane Grey (available for free on Gutenberg.org). Here is how this will play out in my lessons:
Day 1: Look up vocabulary for Chapter One (neatness counts!)
Day 2: Read Chapter One
Day 3: Write 15 sentences with selected vocabulary words from Day One
Day 4: Look up vocabulary for Chapter Two
Day 5: so on and so forth until the book is complete, six weeks later.
I don't usually do questions, we have conversations about the book. I occasionally use questions as a jumping off point to write some argumentative narrative. I may add those questions in a later post. I'm thinking of using this as a place to start conversations about marriage and cover biblical responsibilities.
For now, vocabulary:
