Features:
Literature— No study of literature is complete without exposure to authors such as Robert Frost, Pearl Buck, and Carl Sandburg. Memorable selections based on missionary and military adventures go straight to the reader's heart and inspire perseverance and courage. Discussion and essay questions build analytic skills.
Grammar and Composition—Dive deeper into punctuation protocols, antecedents and appositives, diagraming, and dependent clauses. Your teen will combine his understanding of grammar and usage with researching and writing techniques to deliver quality compositions.
Vocabulary, Spelling, Poetry— Knowing the best word is often what distinguishes the best communicators. The 20 weekly spelling words and 10 weekly vocabulary words from the literature will take your teen one step closer to that goal. He will memorize 9 inspiring poems, including Frost's "Stopping by Woods."
Students start with a quick review of capitalization, punctuation, and sentence structure, then move to grammar (parts of speech, and usage), with a focus on writing style. Throughout these chapters "Writer's Corner" assignments (with brief explanations, and detailed steps to plan, write, rewrite, and edit) will cover description, limerick, cinquain, string-a-long stories (created by adding words to each sentence), personal narratives, and more. The composition section reviews the writing process, then guides students in writing summaries, book reports, outlining, and research papers. Includes a grammar and diagramming handbook, documentation appendix, and index. The course requires the consumable student text and the spiral bound teacher key (full student text with answers and full Grammar Handbook). For testing, use the consumable student quiz and test booklet, and the teacher quiz and test key. Use the Supplementary Exercises (with perforated pages) for students needing more grammar, usage, and mechanics' practice. ~ Ruth
