Got a high school homeschooler who needs to take British Lit, but you can't keep up with the extra 150 pages of reading every week and all their papers? 😅 Or you just need a good schedule with great books and some supplementary info, to lift the planning burden?
Both semester courses are now available, each equal to 1/2 credit, or both can be taken for a full year of high school English credit. 🤓📚
Looking for a non-woke military history course?
My website vinceguerra.com has a ton of articles, many of which focus on science in relation to current events.
