How do you schedule LL?

Do you just do a certain number of pages in Lively Latin each day or did you go through and break it up in some other way? Should I just skip the history or not? I find it interesting but I am afraid my ds would just think of it as "one more assignment" and maybe that's not worth the struggle for something that isn't a core part of our curriculum.

We do one Lesson or exercise a day, along with practicing the flashcards. They listen to the audio/play web game if they feel like it. My boys really enjoy the history so we usually chunk the history together because they don't like a page here and there. We're not doing the make your own book thing though-my boys find that too schooly. They really liked the picking a Latin name part, and I let them design their own cover for their notebooks.

We are skipping the history because next year we will be spending our entire year studying Rome, the Roman Empire, and its effects on the world. We quickly review the flashcards at least every other day and do one lesson with its corresponding exercise. We do play the games about once a week instead of doing the flashcard review. We started in March and have just finished for the summer with lesson 8.

Have you looked into the Latin Centered Curriculum at all ? Its a great price and really it may help you in incorporating the Latin as part of your curriculum as well . Just a thought .

We usually do a lesson and exercise every day and add in the history when they come up. We don't do flashcards every day, maybe 2-3 days/week. We started it in Oct or Nov and we're in lesson 11 now. I hope to finish it up maybe around February or so next year and move right into LL 2, finishing that the following year, so basically each book will take about a year and a half.

Yep, One of the reasons I am getting it is Drew's recommendation.

I'm using it with two children. The older (12) went through LCI a couple of years ago and she is doing an entire lesson each week. I try to divide the pages so she doesn't have too much handwriting on one day.

The 10 yo gets confused easily compared to her sis, so we usually only do one exercise per day unless there is very little writing.

We are doing the history. It's simple and is giving us a great base to build on.
