Middle School
Grade 6
Heritage Studies: Touring the lands, peoples and cultures of ancient civilizations, your student will learn about the history of Egypt, Israel, China, Greece, Africa, and the Mayas, as well as the Roman world and the Middle Ages. Special maps contrast these ancient civilizations with the modern world.
English 6: Continue the grammatical study of sentences, nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, as well as providing practice in reference skills. Students use the Writing Process to write personal narratives, newspaper editorials, instructions, research reports, historical fictions, compare-contrast essays, limericks, free verse, and cover letters for submitting work to a publisher.
Reading: Engage your student with a variety of character-building stories as well as classical literature selections from which biblical principles are drawn. An emphasis on literary elements, higher-level thinking skills, and vocabulary enrichment is a bridge to the traditional literature classes that begin in junior high.
Spelling: Examine Greek and Latin word beginnings with your student, as well as pairs of related words. A special dictionary section features the character Detective Dick Shanary as he follows six exciting cases, climaxing in the capture of the criminal Werds and his accomplice, Miss Spelling.
Science: Show your student God’s wonderful creation through a study of the earth, cells and organisms, matter and energy, heredity, astronomy, and the nervous and immune systems.
Grade 7
World Studies: Build the sixth-grade study of ancient civilizations with more about the foundations of modern civilizations. Beginning with the growth of towns after the Dark Ages and continuing through the twentieth century, these lessons present a historical, geographic, and thematic survey.
Literature: Teach your student to read for wisdom and enrichment as well as for pleasure with this introduction to literature that covers six unit themes: courage, nature and man, generosity, our land, humility, and family.
Writing and Grammar: Teach all eight parts of speech, the five basic sentence patterns, usage concepts such as subject-verb agreement and clear pronoun reference, and mechanics. Introduce complex sentences; reference chapters include dictionary skills, library skills, study skills, and an overview of the writing process. Writing projects include a biographical sketch, an in-class essay, a letter to the editor, a book report and poetry.
Vocabulary: Introduce your student to various ways to learn word meanings and use Latin word parts to teach recognition of word families. Topics include synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and positive and negative context clues.
Science: Give your student an overview of science and its relationship to the Word of God. The illustrated text deals with life processes of organisms, genetics, and the origins of life from a biblical perspective. It also presents concepts in microbiology, plant biology, and zoology along with a look at ecosystems.
