A note from Carrie:
We prefer the Level 10 writing lessons to the Level 9 writing lessons for two reasons. First, due to the fact that Heart of Dakota students have done much writing in the past, they are more than prepared for the level of writing taught in Level 10.
Second, we much prefer the topics in Level 10 used for the writing sessions and were more comfortable with the Level 10 focus than with some of the topics in Level 9.
This makes Essentials in Writing: Level 10 an excellent fit for the World Geography guide. We are also thrilled that the writing of a research paper is covered by breaking this large task down into incremental steps. What a blessing for all the families who worry about how to cover this very important skill!
