English 6 Testpack, Second Edition

These materials offer complete coverage of both writing and grammar.

For Grades 2 through 12, Bob Jones offers an English (Writing & Grammar) program to train students in communicating Biblically and effectively. Both oral and written skills are developed, with increasing emphasis on composition at the upper levels. Everything that you would expect in a writing and grammar program is here from mechanics, to word types, grammar (including parts of speech and diagramming), and all types of writing (including journaling, analysis, and various composition tasks). Courses integrate Christian references and will help students apply a Biblical worldview in communication by recalling, explaining, evaluating, formulating, and applying Biblical themes. Teacher’s Editions contain daily lesson plans, additional and differentiated educational suggestions, and answers to the student worktext exercises in wrap-around format. Student worktexts are consumable, and at each grade level, different themes and tasks are introduced in a progressively challenging way. Assessments provide consumable, ready-to-use tests for each chapter; answers are found in the Assessment Key. Home School Kits contain 2-part Teacher's Editions, consumable worktexts, consumable assessments, and an assessments answer key. See grade level descriptions for specific program goals, materials, and assignments. Additional/supplemental materials are no longer found on Teacher CD-ROMs. Instead, these materials are now either included in the TE or are not necessary for home use. You’ll see references to Teacher Tools Online, the TextbookHub, and BJU’s Homeschool Hub. The first two are designed for Christian school teaching needs and only available for schools. The Homeschool Hub is available free to any home educator with account setup and provides scheduling, calendar, gradebook, and planning tools that are not course specific. ~ Ruth

Begins with a review of sentence types and then reviews the parts of speech intermingled with different types of writing. Nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions are reviewed. A writing chapter follows each grammar chapter to help provide a strong link between the two. The student will write a personal narrative, newspaper editorial, instructions, a research paper, historical fiction, compare and contrast essay, free verse, limerick, and a cover letter. Most chapters include a "Literature Link" which is an excerpt from a story used for writing practice. Every chapter contains a chapter review and a cumulative review. There is a "Writing Handbook" and "Grammar Handbook" at the back of the student book. These reference tools are handy to have around while working on an assignment. The Teacher Toolkit CD-ROM is included with the Teacher edition. This CD-ROM contains reproducible pages to supplement the lessons. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to access the information on the Toolkit CD-ROM.
