Dive into futuristic strategy and ethics with Moving Beyond the Page Ender's Game High School Semester 2 by Epiphany Curriculum, suited for grades 9-10. This secular, consumable spiral-bound worktext (203 pages) accompanies Orson Scott Card's acclaimed science fiction novel, exploring genre elements like flashback, point of view, subplot, internal/external conflict, convergent vs. divergent thinking, power, leadership, and moral dilemmas. Students strengthen vocabulary, literary analysis, discussion skills, and composition through detailed lessons, worksheets, graphic organizers, journal-keeping, and a culminating project with three customizable mini-activities (e.g., storyboarding, novel extensions, puzzles, or historical research). Low teacher involvement supports independent progress in a multi-sensory, student-directed format with final exams—excellent for homeschoolers seeking challenging sci-fi studies, critical thinking, and creative responses as part of a one-year high school English credit (novel required separately).
Ender's Game Language Arts Unit (High School Semester 2)
Description
In this unit, you will read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and explore the literary genre of science fiction. You will learn more about literary devices such as flashback, point of view, subplot, and internal and external conflict. For your final project, you will choose three small projects that allow you to explore certain areas of the story more closely. This could involve sketching a storyboard, writing additions to the novel, solving puzzles, or learning more about history.
A challenging language arts program with user-friendly manuals (written directly to the student), Moving Beyond the Page continues to provide detailed and involved book studies, step-by-step exercises, thought-provoking writing assignments, and broad-based literature selections. The nine units collectively provide a one-year English/Language Arts credit. Each unit as well as each semester concludes with a final exam. The pace is one lesson per day, with the expectation of spending 1 1/2 - 2 hours per lesson (includes reading and writing work). Although each unit includes parent overview with answers/talking points (could be easily removable), each Unit Worktext is consumable, providing background information, literary instruction, discussion questions, vocabulary exercises, worksheets, and graphic organizers as well as detailed lessons and assignments. Students are expected to keep a journal as they progress through the course. Books vary from 130 to 295 pgs, spiral-bound. ~ Janice
