Hi Vicki! Thank you so much for making this video. It has answered a lot of my questions! I still have some questions - In the part where you show the syllabus, it says a few things I would love some clarification on.... > "Read chapter --- and take notes" .... Does the curriculum teach how to take notes / what they need to be writing? > "work on vocabulary" ... Does the actual assignment show what vocabulary they are to be working on and what "work on vocabulary" means? > "optional grammar".... is that included in the curriculum and just optional for students that need the extra help or is it not apart of the bundle?

Sabrina here! Let me see if I can help. It is hard to imagine all the details without the actual Guides in front of you. Remember that if you buy the bundle and it isn’t going to work for you, we have a 10-day money back guarantee, no questions asked! Note-taking is just a matter of having your guide open nearby as you read, and following prompts in the guide for noting ideas you may need later for a writing assignment. Vocabulary instruction is detailed in each guide. Grammar is included in the form of the Grammar Granules guide, a quick-reference or brush-up resource. For students who have had little formal grammar in the younger grades, there are suggestions you can add from other sources.
