Language Arts LightUnit 807 Sunrise 2nd Edition
- Designed to be student led and student independent, little to no teacher involvement!
- This unit concentrates on a student selected research paper
- Typically takes 3-4 weeks to complete each LightUnit
In this LightUnit there are no penmanship lessons to allow students more time to write their research paper. Spelling lessons will focus on words derived from facere, the suffix -ism, and silent e words. Note, because of the research paper there are no quizzes or tests in this unit. Lesson 15 includes a scoring guide for the research paper. 48 pgs., pb. ~Rebecca
Language Arts 8 integrates grammar, spelling, and writing into one easy-to-use course.
Students study infinitive phrases, transitive and intransitive verbs, compound-complex sentences, and perfect and progressive verb tenses. Each LightUnit includes at least two lessons of writing instruction, in addition to periodic journaling exercises. Most LightUnits include penmanship exercises. The three spelling lists in each LightUnit include twenty words each. In LightUnit 807, students write a research paper.
Language arts programs listed in this section cover most areas of language arts (reading/literature, writing, grammar, spelling and handwriting) in one curriculum, although some skill areas may be covered with less intensity than a focused, stand-alone course.
This resource is a traditional language arts series that provides grade appropriate instruction in phonics, spelling, vocabulary, grammar (including diagramming), word usage, penmanship, dictionary/library skills, all forms of composition (formal and creative), book reports, literature analysis, and poetry over the course of the series. Thorough and comprehensive in terms of coverage, user-friendliness is fundamental to the series, which allows the student to work independently except in the early elementary grade levels. Teacher oversight is expected but made easy by teacher materials that provide answers, grading rubrics, and lesson plans (amount of detail declines with grade level). Student materials are attractive and offer color highlights with some illustrations. The new Sunrise 2nd Edition offers full-color illustrations with instruction sequences in color-shaded boxes. All content reflects a conservative Christian viewpoint. Course components vary a bit with grade level but always include sets of ten magazine-size, consumable student worktexts (LightUnits) coupled with teacher materials. Quizzes and unit tests are part of each LightUnit.
The LightUnits Set Teacher Materials vary with the edition and grade level but, in general provide daily lessons, answers, alternate tests, and grading helps.
The Sunrise Edition Grade 8 Language Arts program includes 10 worktexts and introduces new grammar and writing skills like transitive and intransitive verbs, and concrete and abstract nouns. Learning new skills all while building and reviewing previously learned skills. Students will also be writing a research paper and learning Library Skills to aid in the construction of a bibliography. Creative writing is taught through the additional On Teaching Writing text. There are optional Teacher Guides that are broken up by units (801-805 and 806-810). These guides provide helpful teaching notes/suggestions, reduced student pages with answers, additional spelling lists, and alternate tests. For those using this course more independently, there are also separate Unit Answer Key and the Test & Quizzes Answer Key. Partner the CLE Language Arts with the CLE Grade 8 Reading program for a complete ELA course. ~Rebecca
