Seven sources of information about your subject, including:

a. At least two articles from one or more databases in the Hunt Library.

b. At least one scholarly article.

Bauer, S. W., & Wise, J. (2016). 
The well-trained mind: A guide to classical education (4th ed.).

well-rounded. This method involves, in part, teaching grammar, logic, and rhetoric at different stages

The authors provide a plethora of information for anyone considering homeschooling, including

suggested curricula, information on support groups and online resources 
(summary). This is a credible

source written by two long-time educators with experience in homeschooling. This is a useful source for

readers wanting to understand the benefits of homeschooling and the process to get started 
(evaluation).
