Questions for older students?

[artsy]

I just found your site and read through some preliminary information about Classical Writing. I will have 2 9th graders this coming fall who have done very little writing. (Scary subject!) We have not done classical approach up to this point although I have many friends who do, and I think the approach is more and more interesting. I will most likely be using Beautiful Feet's US & World History with them. Just wondering if your older student guides (I read another post just a few minutes ago - very helpful) can be used in conjunction with another program? BF would need a writing/grammar add-on and I thought that the Classical Writing might fit the bill. Which would I begin with? And would I need an additional grammar 'program'? (They've already done a bit of grammar - just need some brush up.)

Thanks so much.

Our program suggests topics for essays and narratives to write. The way you integrate it with what you are doing in history is that you pick your narrative and essay ideas from your history program.
