Christian Literature and Writing - Grade 9: A Textbook and Workbook Curriculum Set

What is scripturally honoring literature? Is it what the world defines as good writing and Christian's sell as literature or is it writing that truly adheres to scriptural values? Year after year our family attended Christian home school conferences where parents were taught to buy and teach from curricula and books containing worldly values and ideas that were called literature. To combat this extremely disturbing trend, we have begun a series of English literature curricula that are not only scripturally honoring, but often contains the complete text of several books so that you will not have to worry about finding the books yourself. In this first edition we present to your student books, stories, and poetry that are not only scripturally honoring, they breath truth into your student's life that is uplifting and encouraging. Selections are chosen from born-again authors who valued writing about the walk of faith, justice, holiness, ethics, and morality. The text also encourages your student to develop perseverance in their personality while instilling lasting values and affording comfort. The content of each selection as well as the authors? lives are discussed from a Christian perspective. This curriculum will cause your student to sharpen their skills of discernment of what literature adherent to Scripture really means. You can also be confident that it will help point your student toward selecting and reading good Christian literature. The workbook contains daily assignments corresponding to the text of each literary selection. Principles for maximum learning are included. For instance, it is well known in educational studies that most people will skip over words that they do not know when reading. In our workbook your student is required to look up each new vocabulary word in the dictionary, then formulate a definition and record it in the workbook before they read each daily selection. This causes your student to not only increase their vocabulary knowledge, but their retention and reading comprehension as well. The question sections enhance your student's reading comprehension by asking a variety of questions about each selection. This section also includes important Scripture studies pertaining to the daily text as well as thought provoking attention to important details in the text. Questions that cause your student to stretch and think a little more about what they have read are also included. The writing assignments involve essays, book reports, and poems. Your student is guided to write more mature essays and book reports with adequate instructions and grammar exercises to help them with this important aspect of their English training. This curriculum comes complete with textbook, workbook, answers, grading charts, and a daily lesson plan to make your job as easy as possible.Nash, Kimberley is the author of 'Christian Literature and Writing - Grade 9: A Textbook and Workbook Curriculum Set', published 2005 under ISBN 9780971095052 and ISBN 0971095051.
