Course Description

The purpose of this class is to help the students expand their knowledge of literary terms, their depth of understanding of the author’s viewpoint, and to compare and contrast each book to a Biblical understanding of the world. Class time will be spent note taking, discussing and challenging the students’ thought processes, and integrated group activities. We will refer to different sections of the books and read them aloud for a better understanding. Students will need to possess a copy  of each book, which the student will bring to class, but you may also listen to the audio version if needed. The class will be taught on an advanced thinking level. Even if your student has read a book listed, being in a book study will open up another world to them when discussing the content of the book.

To be successful in this class:

All students should expect to read at least seven to eight chapters a week in preparation for class. Students also will complete vocabulary, worksheets, assigned projects, and journaling for homework to enhance comprehension and improve critical thinking skills. Homework is to be done every week with parental supervision; there will be no exceptions. Students who aren’t prepared for discussion each week will be at a disadvantage.

Homework: Students will be assigned homework on non co-op weekdays.

• One Day Model students should expect homework assignments 3  or 4 days per week.
• Two Day Model students should expect homework assignments 2 or 3 days per week.

**Summer Homework: Shakespeare Stealer is to be read by the first day of class in September.**
