Description
Publisher's Description of Character Through Classics - Critical Thinkers (9-12)
This open-and-go curriculum helps students in Grades 9-12 develop compassion, respect, and self-discipline through classic literature and engaging activities.
Featuring over 40 stories and poems, Character Through Classics features five core components:
- Literary Excerpts: Introduce your student to timeless stories and poems that captivate their imagination while imparting important moral lessons.
- Vocabulary: Expand your student’s vocabulary by exploring key—or unfamiliar—terms from classic literature that serve to strengthen their understanding of the values taught.
- Reading Comprehension: Challenge advanced readers with thought-provoking questions that encourage deeper analysis of themes and moral lessons.
- Writing Prompts: Develop critical thinking skills through profound writing prompts that encourage students to articulate and defend their understanding of conduct and character.
- Scripture Memorization: Connect timeless virtues to biblical truths through carefully selected verses that complement the manners and morals discussed.
Raising children who value humility, honor, and hard work in a culture that pushes selfishness, disrespect, and apathy is no easy task—but it is a worthy one.
Category Description for Character Thru Classics
Just like Jesus taught timeless principles through parables and storytelling, this series teaches character and manners through classic literature. Each lesson begins with a poem or literature excerpt followed by language-building activities such as comprehension questions, Bible memory, and vocabulary work. A 9-week, 5-day suggested schedule is included, and the rest of the materials are very open-and-go with little to no teacher preparation. Although it is easy for the student to work independently, parental involvement in discussing the lessons will make it more impactful. The three levels all include the same excerpts so you can learn together as a family.
