Your first week
Day one, you set your homeschool up and your kid reads a lesson — ten minutes, a primary source, then they give it back to you out loud: what was claimed, what backed it, what it connects to.
By midweek every course is moving a lesson a day and the planner is keeping pace — folding whatever life knocked loose forward instead of letting it pile up. And at the end of the week comes the moment the whole week is built around: one course takes the floor, and your kid stands up and makes a case.
That last part is the whole pitch. You’ve heard what the courses climb toward — in your first week, you’ll hear the first rung.
