In the previous post, I gave an overview for the homeschool mom of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As promised, vocab by chapter. In the vocab list for The Call of the Canyon, I expected my son will cover one chapter every three days, but the chapters in this volume are much smaller, so I combine two chapters of vocabulary this way:
Day 1: Look up vocabulary for Chapter One and Two (neatness counts!)
Day 2: Read Chapter One and Two
Day 3: Write 15 sentences with selected vocabulary words from Day One
Day 4: Look up vocabulary for Chapter Three and Four
Day 5: so on and so forth until the book is complete, five weeks later
As in The Call of the Canyon, there is a reference to "making love" which in this era meant not much more than sitting on a park bench cooing like love birds. You might want to go over this with your child before s/he hits that part. Another lovely opportunity to discuss what is acceptable behavior in our teens, and what our culture brainwashes them into believing is normal.
