Kieron seems to move through his online material quite quickly. This bothers me subliminally. However I have to remember that (1) he is just starting 9th grade (2) we are just starting the school year (3) I don't necessarily want him to spend hours and hours on the online material.
For now, 1 hour a day seems like enough.
This means that there should be some outside learning too. Originally I planned for a lot of reading -- just wide reading, not necessarily focused reading. Accordingly I'm going to adjust his reading somewhat -- instead of assigning four pages at a time of, say, Founding of Christendom, I'll try having him read the whole chapter. It won't be a thorough reading but it would provide an overview.
Ideally, I'd have a sort of pre-test or introductory reading, then the chapter, then delving into the content and ideas in more detail. Finally, then, a sort of wrap-up at the end.
