Features:
Literature—Devices such as figurative language, theme, and setting are tools in the hands of writers! As your teen studies these literary devices, he will use them to enjoy and appreciate Paradise Lost, Don Quixote, and other selections by renowned world writers. A highlight is the reading and study of Julius Caesar and Silas Marner. Discussion and essay questions build your teen's analytic skills.
Grammar and Composition—Your teen will be introduced to advanced grammatical concepts such as mood, objective complements, and substantives. And to new forms of writing such as a critical book review, which is part of the Author Research Project. His growing reasoning ability is strengthened through both grammatical concepts and writing applications.
Vocabulary, Spelling, Poetry—Watch your teen's vocabulary and thinking skills soar as he studies the origin of vocabulary words; word analysis through prefixes, roots, and suffixes; and word analogies! In addition to the 144 vocabulary words, more than 1,000 synonyms, antonyms, and related words are part of this year's study. Memorizing Shelley's "Ozymandias" and 9 other poems will give him a love for language and an appreciation for the best thoughts presented in the best way.
