12 things I DIDN’T KNOW about TGTB HIGH SCHOOL Language Arts & Adjustments We Made // Next Year???

Even though you research, you don't always grasp all parts of a curriculum and such was the case with THE GOOD and the BEAUTIFUL HIGH SCHOOL LANGUAGE ARTS when we purchased this for my 9th grader:

When you purchase new homeschool curriculum, you may have an IDEA of how its supposed to work, but the reality is many times, you just have to dig in and see for yourself. When I purchased The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts for High School, I had a little knowledge because my sister in law had used it for her high schooler the previous year. Apparently, I didn't ask enough questions! But that's life...you live and you learn!

So I'm going to share with you 12 things that I think would be helpful to know and understand if you are brand new to this TGATB high school course....or even if this is your 1st year using it!

This video is a collaboration with Colleen from "OUR BLESSED LIFE" I reached out to Colleen because she had experience with IEW, Lost Tools of Writing, and also The Good and the Beautiful high school language arts. Knowing what she knows now....having a senior high school homeschooler, would she do anything different with her language arts choices? Check out her video here:
