Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students. Implications of Literature: Pioneer Implications of Literature: Pioneer, aimed at eleventh-graders, explores American literature in short stories, speeches, poetry, folklore, and much more. Implications of Literature: Pioneer draws from familiar authors and speakers such as Martin Luther King Jr., Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emily Dickinson, Frederick Douglass, and Charles Lindbergh, along with numerous less familiar sources. It begins with a quick 16-page review of key historical moments and influences over the last 500 years in America. This will enable students to understand the impact and context history has provided to the American literature we read today. The activities in Implications of Literature: Pioneer encourage high-school students to sharpen the skills needed for standardized tests and proficiency examinations, especially the clarity of written expression so critical in the newly-formatted SAT examinations. About Implications of Literature Implications of Literature is an academically rigorous high school literature series that features traditional, values-oriented content. The textbooks create coursework that preserves family values while exposing your high school student to excellent literature. Short stories, novellas, drama, novels, and biographical and auto-biographical nonfiction have been chosen to build character in young minds without moralizing. Implications of Literature texts are designed to build comprehension, critical and analytical skills. Informal quizzes, textual sidebars, literary critiques, writing assignments, journaling, grammar, and vocabulary are just a few of Implications of Literature's innovative features. The student text introduces each genre, with vocabulary clearly explained in footers on nearly every page. The teacher's text includes all of the content of the student text with helpful annotations and suggested answers for assignments. Implications of Literature is for the homeschooling family who wants a literature program that will encourage wholesome values, albeit without religious content. With academic excellence and thought-provoking selections, these stories, while not religious, still reflect good precepts and are free of material that would conflict with Christian values. Additional Students The Implications of Literature student book is not consumable. Occasional questions appear throughout the text, but these are best answered on a separate paper. Families may choose to have students share student books. If you have two students using the course simultaneously, it may be more practical and efficient to purchase an additional student book.

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students. The Power in Your Hands: Writing Nonfiction in High School Prepare your homeschool teens for college writing through a practical, incremental, and, at times, humorous course. The Power in Your Hands: Writing Nonfiction in High School is written in a conversational tone that most teens seem to prefer. The Power in Your Hands: Writing Nonfiction in High School teaches all four modes of nonfiction writing: exposition, persuasion, description, and narration. These are taught in one course and use real students' and professionals' essays to reinforce what your student has just learned. Your child will evaluate those essays and even learn how to be his own editor. Help your teen be better equipped to face the challenges of college writing with The Power in Your Hands. View Sample Pages Features With over 100 daily lessons and complete instructions for twenty-two essays and reports, this is an engaging course students will enjoy--or at least not dread. Plus, more good news: the course almost teaches itself. Really. The Teacher’s Guide (sold separately) includes an easy-to-use grading grid, answers, and writing prompts. 2nd Edition Publication Date: January 15, 2016 Publisher: Writing with Sharon Watson ISBN/EAN13: 1519417764 / 9781519417763 Page Count: 417 Binding Type: US Trade Paper Trim Size: 8.5" x 11" Typical High School Credits Earned: 1 credit composition Faith-Based: Yes What’s new about the 2nd Edition? 1. Easily keep track of daily work with newly numbered lessons. 2. Teens learn common grammar mistakes (7 lessons). 3. The emotional appeal speech is shorter and easier to understand. 4. Students can look up items in the new index. 5. Grading essays just got a lot easier! Specific grading grids in the Teacher’s Guide are designed for each essay assignment. Parents have asked for this, and these grids will make grading student essays MUCH easier! Download the first one here. 6. The chapter on the old SAT essay has been removed. Find info on that essay here and here. Are the two editions compatible? Though much of the material has not changed, the page numbers have. In addition, the example speech for an emotional appeal has changed, along with all the work associated with it. Therefore, the two editions are not compatible. The Power in Your Hands: Writing Nonfiction in High School is for what grade levels? The Power in Your Hands is for students in grades 9-12. Younger students will be frustrated with the material and will be better served by Jump In, which is for grades 5 - 8. What will my students learn in The Power in Your Hands? High-school students will learn writing skills they can use the rest of their lives. These include brainstorming, organizing their thoughts, using appropriate point orders, citing sources, introduction and conclusion know-how, proofreading, writing for a specific audience, and much more. In addition, they'll learn how to write in all four modes of nonfiction writing: persuasion, exposition, description, and narration. This practical textbook includes specific instructions for writing at least twenty-two essays and reports and includes focused checklists for each assignment. Some of the assignments include the logical appeal, the moral/ethical appeal, process or how-to writing, a research paper with documentation, comparison and contrast, a literary analysis, descriptive essays, and much more. The material sounds difficult. Is The Power in Your Hands for college-bound students only? The Power in Your Hands has been specially engineered for beginning writers and college-bound writers. How is this possible? Sharon Watson is experienced in teaching writers at all skill levels, and she brings her expertise to this curriculum. Beginning writers will quickly catch up with their age-mates and gain confidence to tackle the chapters. The incremental, conversational, practical text will equip them for school or professional writing. Experienced writers will learn new material early and be challenged by the Digging Deeper sections found throughout the text. I've heard I can use The Power in Your Hands for more than one year. Is this true? Absolutely. Here's how: 1. When public and private schools give a writing assignment, the students do their work at home and still have classes during the day. This schedule is not necessary in homeschools. You can assign the essay at the end of the chapter and then follow the suggested writing schedule. The daily tasks in the schedule can be done during your normal writing-class time. The book will last for two years with this schedule, and your student won't feel hurried (and neither will you)! 2. The Teacher's Guide contains a fun program called 14-Minute Writing Surges. These writing prompts cover fiction and nonfiction writing for the school year. You can use this program for a whole year before or after you use The Power in Your Hands, or you can take a break from the textbook for a few days or weeks by using the Writing Surges. It's a fun way for your student to write on an interesting topic without being evaluated on everything he or she writes. 3. If you combine numbers 1 and 2, you can use The Power in Your Hands for three years. This will give your teens a thorough knowledge of the material at a leisurely pace. Many parents have successfully used another option. They work through the first 13 chapters in the first year, stopping the year after writing the position paper, and finish the course the next year. This seems to be a sensible pace for most families. We don't have two years. My student is a senior (or I want to complete this in one year for any other reason). How can I use The Power in Your Hands? Seniors definitely should know some basics about writing before being sent into the world. I suggest completing the following chapters in The Power in Your Hands as a bare minimum for your senior: Chapters 1-4 Chapters 9-10 Chapters 11-13 Chapters 17-19 Chapter 20 Chapter 23 These will give your student a wonderful foundation for writing. If you have time, you can add in other chapters of interest to your student. If your child does only the chapters listed above, he or she will want to be sure to read through the other ones, especially the Grammar Factoids and the Toolbox portions that usually appear in the beginnings of the chapters. These portions are important to writing and are referred to in later chapters and on the checklists that correspond to the assignments. How do I grade my students' papers? You spoke and we listened. The 2nd Edition to the Teacher’s Guide contains new, easy-to-use grading grids for every essay assignment. You can download a sample here. Additionally, the Teacher’s Guide contains a grading section with real essays and their explanations tucked into “How to Earn an A,” “How to Earn a B,” and so forth. I always give two grades: one for content and one for grammar/mechanics. This gives a clearer picture to students about their progress and areas of strength or weakness. You may want to adopt this method as well. All the new grading grids (except for the sample) reflect the two-grade method. Will my student learn how to proofread his or her own work? Yes. Be Your Own Editor, a one-page proofreading tool, teaches students how to catch their own mistakes by asking the right questions. Much time is spent in the textbook showing students how to proofread. In addition, they are asked to evaluate professional and student writing, which gives them a keener eye when evaluating their own work. Also, in the 2nd Edition, students grapple with common grammar mistakes in a new chapter of that title. Is The Power in Your Hands for homeschool students only? The Power in Your Hands can be used successfully in co-ops, private schools, and homeschools. The text uses humor, and some of the writing assignments are light-hearted. Why doesn't the curriculum teach students how to write about important issues? Humor has been scientifically proven to alleviate fear and engage the more creative parts of the brain. The Power in Your Hands sometimes uses humor as a teaching ally. It is surprising to observe how quickly and completely students lose their fear of writing after they've written on the topic of why teachers should not give homework! Thinking deeply about and writing about the complex political, social, environmental, religious, and other issues of our day are important. Some of the assignments reflect this need. However, making students write about issues while they struggle with the structures of writing is akin to throwing an aspiring athlete into the game before he or she has learned how to play. This textbook focuses on students learning, practicing, and perfecting the writing skills they'll need for the rest of their lives. review by Mommy Octopus ”I have been very pleased with The Power in Your Hands and other programs by Sharon Watson. I plan to continue using them with my students each year. Depending on how you use it, The Power in Your Hands can be spread out to 2-3 years! I love curriculum that lasts a while!” Read the Review review by Hopkins Homeschool ”This is something that I can teach without worry and the teacher's guide gives me the support I need to know that I am doing something right.” Read the Review

The Power in Your Hands - Teacher's Guide

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students.Math-U-See PreCalculus is typically a good fit for a student entering Eleventh grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See PreCalculus PreCalculus combines classic trigonometry with the advanced algebra needed for calculus and other courses. ﻿Topics include trig ratios, trigonometric identities, laws of trigonometry, radian measure, polar equations, functions and their graphs, sequences and series, and limits. About Math-U-See Curriculum For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program. This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives. Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones. The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts. Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player. Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught in the PreCalculus Level?

PreCalculus Student Pack This is the right choice for families who have more than one student in the PreCalculus level and who need a second workbook, or for families who have previously used PreCalculus for one student and already own the Instruction Pack. The Student Pack includes solely the student workbook and the test booklet; the Digital Pack is not included. You must have the Instruction Pack to utilize Math-U-See effectively.

Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program.
 
This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. 
 
Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. 
 
The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives.
 
Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. 
 
Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. 
 
Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. 
 
Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones.
 
The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts.
 
Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. 
 
Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. 
 
Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player.
 
Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. 
 
Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See.

Typically counted as 2 credits (1 American history, 1 Bible) for high school students. Exploring America Exploring America is an American history high-school curriculum that combines history, literature, and the Bible in an enjoyable, easy-to-implement format. The 150 daily lessons include the history text and the reading assignments for that day. Completing the entire course provides your child with a year’s high school credit in American History, English (literature and composition), and Bible. If that proves to be too heavy of a course load for your child, we suggest he ignore the literature portion. Instead, focus his energies on understanding the history section, which involves reading the teen-friendly Exploring America lessons, and the original source documents and speeches. If you choose to utilize the literature portion, the required titles are books you may already have or can easily obtain from your local library. However, they are also conveniently available for purchase on the website of the publisher, the Notgrass Company. You can see the complete list of titles below in the publisher’s information. Publisher’s Information: Designed to be easy to use for parent and student, each of the 30 weekly units in Exploring America has an introduction that features a summary of the material covered, a list of lessons, books required for that unit, and suggested writing assignments. Each of the 150 daily lessons (five lessons per week) includes the history text and the reading assignments for that day (and those in progress). A focused student can direct his own study, and the parent can offer as much interaction as needed. Depending on how fast your child reads and how much time he spends on the weekly project, he may need an average of 2-3 hours for each daily lesson. Exploring America presents history from the perspective of faith in God and respect for His Word. Each unit includes a Bible study highlighting spiritual issues related to history. It is comprehensive, giving students a survey of events and issues from European exploration to the war on terror, with extensive coverage of the twentieth century. The Exploring America Curriculum Package includes three books: Part 1: Columbus through Reconstruction (first semester) Part 2: Late 1800s through the Present (second semester) American Voices: Original Documents, Speeches, Poems, Stories, and Hymns from American History (assigned readings) Completing the full course provides your child with a year's high school credit in American History, English (literature and composition), and Bible. The History credit involves reading the lessons, the original documents, and speeches (and answering the questions in the optional Quiz & Exam Pack, if desired). The English credit involves completing the weekly writing assignments and one research paper; and reading the assigned literature, poems, and short stories in American Voices. The Bible credit involves reading the Bible lessons, completing the Bible assignments at the end of many lessons, and reading the hymns and other religious literature assigned. A weekly assignment checklist and a grading chart are available for you to print out. The Literature In addition to the assigned readings from American Voices, the curriculum also assigns the following twelve works of literature. Specific page numbers are not assigned, so you do not have to use a particular edition.

The History of the Ancient World If you find that your high schooler lacks depth in historical understanding or has holes in their grasp of ancient history, consider The History of the Ancient World. This is part of an in-depth series covering the big picture and essential specifics of world history. Written in a friendly and highly readable manner, The History of the Ancient World is engaging and enlightening. Maps and timelines help your student grasp the whens and wheres of history. The stories cement who, what, and why. Not only will your teen walk away with a big picture of history, but he will also develop a feel for the people of each culture. Using a narrative style, The History of the Ancient World teaches a people's history, drawing from literature, epic traditions, and personal letters and accounts. It presents a fascinating tapestry of human nature, providing a solid basis to view and analyze world events. The History of the Ancient World covers the period from the earliest accounts up to the fall of Rome, focusing on the Middle East, Southern Europe, India, and China. Use the optional Study & Teaching Guide to take The History of the Ancient World from a rigorous reading book to a full curriculum. Note to our more conservative customers: This book, though written by a Christian (Susan Wise Bauer, author of the acclaimed The Story of the World series), is penned from a history scholar's perspective, not that of a theologian. In other words, she gives the Bible a fair hearing but places it alongside any other historical document without distinction. Read The History of the Ancient World with that in mind. You will find a wealth of information in this volume about the peoples, nations, cultures, and wars of the Bible.

The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation Your teen will find answers to all his questions about why America found itself at war with itself in The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation. He will begin to grasp the deep-seated conflict between limited government and a robust government. He will also learn how Americans allowed slavery to take hold, then found it practically impossible to abandon it. The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation scrutinizes each portion of the Address to reexamine the entire Civil War and its resulting consequences. It draws on fascinating first-hand accounts of Americans. Using the details of individual families, soldiers, leaders, and enslaved people, The Gettysburg Address shows us the events through the eyes of those who lived it. Intelligently written and lavishly illustrated, The Gettysburg Address is gripping and illuminating. Note: There is an instance of (what we consider) inappropriate language on page 7. Nothing that your older child will not have heard before; it can easily be rectified with a touch of white-out. From the Publisher:A fully illustrated graphic adaptation that offers a new look at the Gettysburg Address, the bloody battle that prompted it, and the Civil War. Most of us can recall "Four score and seven years ago," but much of what we know about this historic speech, and what it has to say about the Civil War itself, has been lost since we left grade school. The Gettysburg Address offers a revolutionary way to experience Lincoln's masterwork. Striking at the underlying meaning of Lincoln's words, it uses the Address to tell the whole story of the Civil War. We see how bitter seeds sown by the Founding Fathers sprouted into a bloody war, and ultimately blossomed into the progress and justice of the Civil Rights era. The book depicts pivotal events that led to the upheaval of the secession crisis, the crucial Battle of Gettysburg, and the conflict's still-unfolding legacy with firsthand accounts from Americans from all walks of life: slaves, soldiers, citizens, and, of course, Abraham Lincoln himself—the most transformational president in U.S. history. Writer Jonathan Hennessey and illustrator Aaron McConnell illuminate history with vibrant, detailed graphics and captions that will give you a fresh understanding of this vital speech, which defined America's most tragic war and marked a new path forward.

Typically counted as 1/2 credit for high school students. Precepts of Anatomy and Physiology With a combination of text and graphics, Precepts of Anatomy and Physiology will not only teach your older child about the interdependency of body systems, bone, tissue, and organs of the incredible human body. It will also delve into that awkward topic, reproduction. It is a judgment call, how much you teach and when but if your teens are ready for a more mature look at the origin of human life, this is the most age-appropriate we have seen. All the nitty-gritty details a teen needs to know, with the author's much-appreciated bias about the necessity of marriage as a prerequisite. What the publisher recommends: "The Precepts of Anatomy and Physiology can serve as a stand-alone unit study worthy of 1/2 high school transcript credit in anatomy, or may be included as an adjunct to the Principles, Theories and Precepts of Biology course for 1 or 1 1/2 biology credits, depending on local or state policies for assigning transcript credit for high school courses."
