COURSE DESCRIPTIONS, TEXTS, and FEES

Fall 2011

SPECIAL NOTES

Some classes are available to 8^th grade students: Speech, Logic 1, Physical Science, Algebra 1, Study Skills Workshop.

A note on our textbooks: Our textbooks are carefully selected to offer quality material for the students. We recommend supporting our local vendor, Home School Room, for many of these products. Books can also be purchased used on the internet or new through Rainbow Resource catalog or a catalog of your choice.

Math texts are available to purchase, or rent through Shanan because they are previous editions and not readily located, or it is simply easier to rent and return.

Some of the materials are supplied by the tutor to the student at no cost other than a replacement fee, if necessary: English courses, speech and debate.

A note on credits: the parent-teacher may list the courses for credit as they wish on their student’s transcript. The amount of the credit is not negotiable due to the amount of work, but some classes could fall in different categories, so the following credit areas are suggestive only. Parents are welcome to use the course descriptions below to assist them in presenting this information to higher education schools.

Courses designated with Honors status are available in two different formats:

• Honors level

• Honors option within a regular course

Be sure to check the appropriate box for Honors option on the registration form for that choice. For more information about Honors, go to the Honors link.

An asterisk (*) beside the course title indicates classes meeting a 2^nd time on Wednesdays, same location and time.

COURSES

HUMANITIES:

Honors Classical World Views:

Available: all grades with the following conditions: A student of any grade can start the schedule; however, only juniors and seniors may take the Modern Age; only sophomores and older may take Revolutions.  

Honors Classical World Views: This 4-year program is a rigorous humanities unit study of the classics through history designed to develop a Biblical world view. For a more complete explanation of this program, follow this link, Classical World Views.

These courses are offered every other year—Ancient World and Revolutions one year; Church History and Modern Age, the alternate year.  Due to this, the order of courses would be accomplished by the following schedule depending on which year the courses are started by the student:

     1 Ancient World—2 Church History—3 Revolutions—4 Modern Age OR

     2 Church History—3 Revolutions—4 Modern Age—1 Ancient World

Note: This is a 2-hour class that meets once per week.

Tutors: Mrs. Robin Hancock, Ancient World and Modern Age; Mr. Jeff Harris, Church History and Revolutions

Text:  Students for Ancient World through Revolutions need to purchase the specified text of Omnibus; Modern Age needs to purchase World Views of the Western World Year 3.  Additionally, all levels need to have Western Civilization, 6^th edit., by Jackson J. Spielvogel.  

Because this is a unit study of the classics throughout history, many books and some audio and video materials are used. These can be purchased through Veritas Press (www.veritaspress.com) or Cornerstone Curriculum (www.cornerstonecurriculum.com); most of these books can be purchased used through ebay or Amazon. Go to the following links for a list of the books and materials required for each year.

Ancient World materials

Church History materials

Revolutions materials

Modern Age materials

Fee: $165 fall; $187 spring

Credit: 1 credit for humanities (or 1 credit for ancient literature for year 1). The history portions count as ¼ credit of Western Civilization (not World History) each year; thus if 4 years are completed, the Western Civilization will count as 1 credit of history or social studies.

IMP: These courses have a required orientation workshop on Monday, Aug. 22, 1:30-4:30.

ELECTIVES—Apologetics Track:

Debate (fall semester) and Speech (spring semester): 

Debate (fall semester) and speech (spring semester): Through these 2 courses, students will learn the fundamentals of debate and will practice giving a variety of speeches. They will engage in practice debates after studying debate theory for most of the fall semester, and will practice giving several speeches, including limited prep, platform speeches, and interpretive pieces during the speech class in the spring. Debate and speech both require participation in a local novice tournament as the culmination of the classes. The option then exists to join and compete in a home school speech and debate league, which will further develop and refine their skills in speech and debate.

To encourage students to grow in their communication abilities, a Speech and Debate Club is offered on Wednesdays, 3:30-5:00.  This is open to any students in speech and debate classes and to new students who would like to find out more about speech and debate. No fee to belong.

NOTE: Debate class requires attendance at a debate camp on Tue., Aug. 23.

Tutor: Mrs. Robin Hancock

Texts:

  Debate: Text supplied; must purchase the Green Book, novice case book, by Vance Trefethen (available through the tutor).

    Speech: Text supplied

Fees:

Debate: $85 fall (includes $10 toward all-day debate camp at Spirit of Joy)

Speech: $85 spring

Credit: Debate and speech each count ½ credit as electives

Logic 1 (Traditional Logic):

Available:  All grades

This course is an in-depth study of the classical syllogism. As a result of taking this course and studying the structure and form of syllogisms (arguments), students will develop an understanding of logic at its most basic level.  They will be able to properly construct a syllogism (an argument) and accurately identify its parts.  They will also be able to determine whether an argument is valid or invalid, sound or unsound.  These objectives will be accomplished through interactive lessons in the classroom, and relevant daily exercises completed by the student on the four week days which we do not meet for class.  To faithfully meet the requirements of this course, students can expect to spend about thirty minutes a day outside of class.

          Tutor: Mr. Jeff Harris

Texts: First semester: Traditional Logic 1, Martin Cothran, Memoria Press; 2^nd semester: Traditional Logic 2, Martin Cothran

Fee: $105 fall; $119 spring

Credit: 1 credit as an elective

Logic 2 (Material Logic)

NOTE:  Logic 2 does not require Logic 1 as a pre-requisite.  

Available:  All grades, but recommended for sophomores and above

Material Logic may be used as a follow-up course to Traditional Logic, or an introductory thinking skills course for high school.  This course clearly defines and articulates the rules for thinking set forth by ancient and medieval thinkers such as Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas.  Whereas the focus of Traditional Logic (Logic 1) was the form or structure of argumentation, the focus of Material Logic (Logic 2) is the content of argumentation.  Material Logic studies how words are related to the ideas they signify, as well as how they can be used of one another.  It also studies how we can know the meaning of an idea and how that idea is related to other ideas it may include or it may be included under.  To faithfully meet the requirements of this course, students can expect to spend about thirty minutes a day outside of class.

Tutor: Matthew Schmidt

Text: Material Logic 1, Martin Cothran, Memoria Press

Fee: $105; $119 spring

Credit: 1 credit as an elective

Apologetics:

Available:  All grades but recommended for sophomores and above

This course is an introduction to apologetics.  We will be confronting the overwhelming intellectual attacks the Church is presently facing; attacks that Christian college students face on university campuses.  We will be addressing such issues as the nature of truth and reality, the investigation of other worldviews, the evidence for Christianity, critics' arguments against Christianity, and the relationship between apologetics and evangelism.  

          Course Objectives:

1) Explain what Apologetics is and why it is an important subject for Christians to study.

2) Bolster the faith of the students by learning the superior intellectual arguments for the truth of Theism and Christianity.

3) Develop and demonstrate the ability to properly identify certain atheistic and anti-Christian arguments, and then adequately refute them.

4) Develop a deeper passion for God and become better equipped to effectively evangelize the lost world around us.

ENGLISH:

* Honors Grammar and Composition: 

Available:  All grades but recommended in the freshman year

This is a prerequisite for all other English courses.

Grammar and Composition is a two-semester course that begins with a review of traditional grammar, including parts or speech, noun usage, and basic sentence patterns, and moves on to verb conjugations, phrases, and clauses before the year ends. The grammar portion of the class emphasizes usage problems, such as major grammatical errors, common usage problems like agreement, punctuation, and sentence construction.

Concurrent with the grammar portion of the class is a course in writing. The first semester focuses on various types of paragraphs (argumentation, persuasion, comparison, analysis, etc.) of a formal, three-part nature since this type of writing is the emphasis of most standardized tests, the SAT, and colleges. During the second semester students move on to full-length essays and conclude the year with a research paper on a general topic. Students are encouraged to use outside sources during the entire year and must practice the correct use of notes and bibliography. While this is not a reading class, per se, students will read a number of short literary works and one or two short novels to provide material for literary analysis.

* American Literature with Honors option:  

Prerequisite:  Grammar and Composition through Shanan OR if the student has had a thorough writing course previously with approval by the tutor.

Available:  Juniors and Seniors

This class is a two-semester survey of American literature, mostly excerpts and shorter selections, from the beginnings of our country to the present. Since history usually provides a context for the literature, students also have an opportunity to review the history of our nation and the most significant literary periods. Though the emphasis is on shorter works in order to get as broad an overview as possible, students will also read all or many of the following standard works: The Scarlet Letter, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Walden, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and a twentieth-century selection, such as To Kill a Mockingbird or The Great Gatsby. Selections will vary by class or interest.

American Literature also provides students with an opportunity to hone their writing skills through a wide range of writing assignments in which they may argue an issue of interest, discuss a matter of concern, or analyze material they have read. As time and the interests/needs of students permit, they will have opportunities to write a number of timed, in-class practice essays of the type and format suggested by the SAT. The second semester will conclude with a formal research paper.

Available:  Juniors and Seniors

Like American Literature, British Literature is primarily a survey course that begins with Beowulf and ends with the Twentieth Century and covers all the significant literary periods (Elizabethan, Romantic, etc.). Once again, the focus will be on excerpts and shorter selections, but students will also read a number of complete works, including a Shakespeare play, a nineteenth-century novel, and two selections of the student’s choice, one each semester. Students will also be expected to memorize six or eight standard pieces, including the first eighteen lines from the Prologue to Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and a passage or two from Shakespeare.

British Literature also has a written component. Students will write as many as four or five essays each semester: book reviews, literary analyses, and argumentative essays on matters of interest or importance. The year will conclude with a research paper on a literary topic. Regular study guides that coincide with major literary periods provide assistance in preparing for unit tests.
