Equip students to analyze texts and identify themes in a variety of genres so they can evaluate and connect literature to the rest of the world. Making Connections in Literature (4th edition), gives students the reading strategies and literary skills they need to comprehend, analyze, interpret, and compare texts of different genres. Students will look at both contemporary and classic selections and complete a full-length study of the novel Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt. Ultimately, this course will encourage students to develop both artistic and biblical discernment so they can be Christlike communicators.
Once reading skills are mastered, the Bob Jones reading curriculum becomes one of literature study from a Biblical perspective. Literary constructs and techniques are learned and explored in the context of both Christian and secular literary selections. There is increasing emphasis on the evaluation of literature against a Biblical standard. As in the lower grades, reading selections are carefully chosen and represent a variety of genres at each level. Many of these are excerpts or short stories. Grades 8 and up also include one full-length work as part of the course. In response to requests for more studies of complete works, new Study Guides have been added for The Scarlet Letter and Julius Caesar. These can be used anytime during high school. The Teacher's Editions for these studies contain the full-sized text with marginal notes as well as background information, commentary, discussion and/or essay questions, and project ideas. As the course emphasis at each level is a little different, we've further described individual course contents below. All of the Teacher's Editions contain a complete copy of the student text. In the 9th and 10th grade books, these are full-color with marginal notes and answers. All other grades have the reduced student pages in two-tone, again with marginal notes and answers. It seems like it would be difficult to share the student text - especially during discussion time - but it is possible to do so.
Testpacks include ready-to-use tests. Answers are found in the Testpack Answer Keys. Essential materials that are included in Home School Kits are listed first by grade level, followed by asterisked (*) support materials. Multigrade resources are listed together at the end.
A timeline kit to be used with the study guide above, covering the same time period. 20 key events and figures are provided for students to color, cut, and assemble on a timeline.
