Category Description for Bju Press English / Writing & 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

Category Description for Bju Press English Grade 4 (3rd Edition)

Start your student on the journey to becoming a writing craftsman who utilizes a biblical worldview, with God as the source of language, truth, goodness, and excellence. Students will develop strong listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills—each one complementing the other in a spiral-learning approach. Working through 6 larger assignments, your student will practice the 5 stages of the writing process: planning, drafting, revising, proofreading (and revision skills with proofreading marks), and publishing. Students study and practice the narrative, informative, and persuasive skills. The biblical worldview is integrated through a process of recalling and then explaining biblical teaching, evaluating, and understanding potentially controversial concepts, and applying a biblical understanding to life. Don't let the phrase, "controversial concepts" frighten you. These include such things as biblically handling negative traits in reading samples (such as a tall tale hero), evaluating research sources for trustworthiness, the idea that plagiarism is stealing, etc. There will be a focus on practicing such 21st century skills as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and technology literacy. Still, the key teaching approach utilizes the teaching process for which Bob Jones is known (engaging, instructing, applying, and assessing). Course components include Student Worktext, the 2-part Teacher Editions, Assessments, and Assessments Key. These can be purchased separately or as a homeschool kit. In the teacher edition, you will see some potentially unfamiliar terminology, such as "entrance" or "exit" tickets (quick, informal pre- and after-learning assessments); peer conference (students evaluating another's writing), etc. These tasks can be easily implemented in the home. Homeschool parents have access to BJU's HomeschoolHub.com which provides teacher management, scheduler, gradebook, and planner materials. This requires creating a free online account.

In the student worktext, grammar (orange tabbed) and writing chapters (blue tabbed) are interspersed. All grammar chapters will end with students composing journal entries highlighting that chapter's biblical worldview focus. Students learn and practice beginning diagramming skills. The writing chapter assignments include an acrostic poem, a book review, a story, a tall tale, comparison/contrast (among other possible assignments), culminating with a research paper. Students will learn to use research tools, take reading notes, outline, and create bibliography pages. Sounds daunting? Never fear! This course makes those seemingly formidable steps extremely attainable, helping your student toward success. ~ Ruth
