Description
Seventh graders are growing up, heading toward the teenage years, and already beginning to face bigger decisions. The Road Less Traveled presents them with examples of others whose choices affected their lives: Miles, whose lack of faith costs two lives; Mustafa, who finds love and giving and peace; Janet, who sees faith bear fruit. Selections in The Road Less Traveled center around five themes: Deciphering Nature's Parables, Path of the Pioneer, Living for Others, Storing Up Treasures, Stooping Gracefully.
This reading curriculum uses one Christian Light Reader, The Road Less Traveled from the publisher’s “Reading to Learn” series as its hub. Stories highlight individuals who must make choices and the faith lessons that come as a result. Themes include parables from nature, pioneers, living for others, serving gracefully, and heavenly treasure. Scripture verses are part of the curriculum and character building will come from an Anabaptist perspective.
Students engage with these stories using the 5 consumable student LightUnits. Using these, students will strengthen reading skills and literature themes. Concepts taught include root words and vocabulary, descriptive writing, parables and poetry, dynamic and static characters, folk tales, types of conflict, setting, allusion, irony, and poetic terms (rhyme, rhythm, form, and techniques, and more). Glossaries of literary, poetic, and vocabulary terms are included. Each section brings in a Bible verse that highlights the theme, as well as student oral reading assignments from the required The Road Less Traveled Reader. While the program focuses on gaining the most from the Reader’s units, there is also a focus on Christian role models and life application.
This reading program is available as a complete set with a spiral-bound Teacher Guide and Answer Key. For a second student, you’ll need a complete set of student consumables.
The center of each student LightUnit provides the consumable, individual quizzes and tests. Answers for these are in the separate Quiz and Tests Answer Key. These color, updated materials will correlate with the previous black and white 2nd edition. ~ Ruth
