Diogenes Grammar

[hiddenjewel]

From the CW Website regarding Diogenes:

Theory learned from the grammar program is practiced as the students parse, diagram, and imitate sentences from the literary models.

Does this look the same as days 2-4 in Homer or is it approached differently?

[Lene Mahler Jaqua]

The spirit of the exercises are similar, but the lay out of the book is different, and the models are essays, not narratives.

Diogenes still has a four day week with an A and I lesson and then a writing project step every day, but we don't have a word day, a sentence day, and a paragraph day. We work in units focusing on a particular skill in A & I, incorporating grammar and imitation work for learning different paragraph types.
