14 yo daughter: Biology, Algebra 1 (Video-Text Algebra), Spanish 1, American Literature, Some bits and pieces from the House of Education (Year 10) curriuclum. Both in Literature and History, she is in the time period of the Civil War this term. History Living Book: A History of the American People by Paul Johnson.
This daughter needs to pay a little more attention to current events this term, as well.
From the Year 10 plan, she has already read The Deadliest Monster, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Frankenstein. She's also covered Emerson's Essays and a couple of his poems. We watched Moby Dick and she's finishing up Billy Bud, by Herman Melville. Most but not all of these are recommended in HEO year 10.
17 yo son, "AnselAdams":
Keeping up with current events via several sources, including Breakpoint Commentary and Christianity Today Online. Hubby listens to NPR a lot, so we have to deal with interesting conversations with him! (He's not a liberal, but he is not a conservative in many ways, either, which is mildly frustrating, but keeps me thinking).
