Typically counted as 1/4 credit for high school students. Wordsmith Craftsman The third and last of the Wordsmith series focuses on building, integrating, and polishing practical writing skills. This self-directed program allows students to take charge of their assignments and schedules. Strong in preparing the student for college, Part 1 addresses practical, everyday writing: notes, outlines, personal correspondence, summaries, business letters, and reports. Part 2 focuses on the power of language: paragraphs (principles, types, and organization), writing techniques, and developing a personal writing style. Part 3 concentrates on essay writing: descriptive, narrative, expository, and persuasive essays. Wordsmith equips young adults for a lifetime of excellence in communication skills. About the Wordsmith Series Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the slew of creative writing programs available for homeschoolers? As a curriculum provider, we have seen more writing programs than any sensible parent would ever want to see, and candidly, after a while, they all look pretty much the same. So what stood out about the Wordsmith line? No Slick Promises To start with, the engaging exercises and doable assignments are pertinent for reinforcing the systematic process of thinking, organizing, writing, evaluating, and re-writing that is critical to any creative writing program. But ultimately, at the very core of the Wordsmith program is the honest reality presented by the author, Janie B. Cheaney, a regular columnist for World Magazine, that while her books will not always produce an enthusiastic and prolific writer, the Wordsmith series, the actual skills of creative writing can be acquired by anyone. So if you need a language arts program that addresses creative writing in more depth, the Wordsmith series is the most effective, painless approach we have seen. From the Publisher:Confidence gained, the young writer tackles practical skills that will be needed throughout life. Again we start with experience: the simple task of taking notes—first on daily tasks, then on lectures and study materials. Outlining, summarizing, and writing business plans are all organizational skills. An extensive section on letter-writing, both personal and business, reinforces communication skills. Part Two builds upon techniques begun in Wordsmith, addressing such principles and problem areas as parallel constructions, making transitions, paragraph organization and selective detail. Part Three of Wordsmith Craftsman is a master class on The Essay, pulling together thought, organization, logic, personal connection, and style. A well-written essay is rightly considered the mark of an educated, thoughtful man or woman. A student will learn how to apply the TOWER process (Think, Organize, Write, Evaluate, and Rewrite) to a variety of essay types, namely descriptive, narrative, expository, critical, and persuasive. The expository section includes a primer on the all-important first step in writing research papers (which will save a lot of freshman-comp angst later!). The Appendix includes a handy reproducible form for note-taking and summary-writing, a warning essay about plagiarism, a summary of all the steps for each type of essay (with writing and revision guidelines), and a three-page roundup of common logical fallacies to be avoided (especially when writing persuasive essays). Letter writing (or any form of everyday written communication), note-taking and outlining, summarizing, and essay writing—whether or not one becomes a writer—are all essential skills to prepare a young adult not only for school but for life. From the Publisher:Confidence is what most young writers lack, and Wordsmith is designed to lead them to the place where they can read over their own work and think, “Hey—that’s pretty good!” Wordsmith is the core book in the series, the one that every student from age 12 and up should complete, especially if their writing skills lag behind the recommended level. How to build confidence? Over many years of writing and teaching, I’ve developed a three-pronged approach: 1.Learn how to use the tools. That is, avail yourself of our incredibly rich English vocabulary and master the skill of manipulating sentences for greater effectiveness. What are the most important words of a sentence? How can you make those words pop? What are the sentence openers you should almost always avoid? How can you break out of the sentence-pattern rut? All these questions, and much more, are answered in Parts One and Two. 2.Learn how to tap your own experience for unlimited material. Have you ever heard the complaint, “I don’t have anything to write about?” Or have you ever stared at a blank page with a blank mind? You and your students will be happy to learn that everyone has unlimited subject matter to write about. And even better: one of the most important keys to effective writing, often overlooked, is personal connection. Through the seven core assignments in Wordsmith Part Three, students learn proven techniques for making personal connections with readers—and never running out of material. 3.Practice. No shortcuts here! Like any craftsman, a wordsmith hones her craft by learning the tools, becoming familiar with the medium, and practicing skills. Wordsmith provides plenty of opportunity by expanding on the core assignments with fun and imaginative variations. But it doesn’t stop there. Writing is a TOWER process: Thinking, Organizing, Writing, Evaluating, and Rewriting. Wordsmith helps students begin to evaluate their own work to make it better. This is called revision, and reluctant writers hate it. Wordsmith details revision checklists for each assignment, allowing students to grow in proficiency and—here’s that word again—confidence! A handy Appendix includes summaries of how to proofread and revise, a verb list, several examples of student writing, suggestions for blogging, and four review quizzes. Features Author: Janie B.

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students. Friendly Chemistry By the time your teen nears graduation, your daily involvement in his academics should be as hands-off as possible. That is why we are pleased to offer you Friendly Chemistry, A Guide to Learning Basic Chemistry. It is rigorous enough to prepare any teen for college but friendly enough to keep the tears at bay. Starting with the atom, Friendly Chemistry builds concepts logically. It covers all topics typically taught in a traditional high school chemistry course. Working with only the Teacher Edition is the most cost-effective way to use Friendly Chemistry for the mature teen. Each lesson in the two-volume teacher set begins with teaching tips and detailed instructions and explanations for each component of the lesson. The teaching tips are followed by the text portion of the lesson and then by worksheets and hands-on activities. A test concludes each lesson, and an answer key is also included. The suggested games assume a basic knowledge of chemistry concepts. They are perfect for reinforcing and demonstrating understanding of what your student has learned. Ideally, this will be the only time a parent needs to be directly involved. Better yet, round up a peer or sibling because Friendly Chemistry is a lot more fun when you can share the adventure. However, if your child is more studious and less inclined to play, you’ll be glad to know that the games are optional; worksheets in the text cover the same review. Friendly Chemistry’s Manipulative Set will help students learn chemistry vocabulary and learn about forming compounds, formulas, reactions, equations, and more. This multi-sensory approach will help your teen remember what he has learned. Labs use household items and other resources that are generally easy to obtain. The labs present the only difficulty of using only the Teacher Edition of Friendly Chemistry. A couple of the labs require a mystery concoction that the student is supposed to analyze, which is difficult if he has just read the formula! Our suggestion is to have your student turn the book over to you long enough for you to set the solution up. Then hand it back so they can continue with their independent learning. The student text and worksheets are included in the Teacher Edition. So most families won’t find the separate Friendly Chemistry Student Edition and Workbook necessary if they just have one student using the program. However, extra Student Editions and Workbooks are available for additional students, or if you simply prefer not to have your student work in the Teacher Edition. Used by homeschool, charter, public, and private school students worldwide for over 10 years, Friendly Chemistry makes chemistry concepts crystal clear. Features Click here to see the Course Introduction (pdf) Click here to see Lesson 1 (pdf) Click here to see Lesson 3 (pdf) Friendly Chemistry covers: Atomic Theory Trends of the Perioidic Table of Elements Quantum Mechanics Ion Formation Compound Formation Avogadro's Number and the Mole Formula Weights Percent Composition Empirical Formulas Chemical Reactions Balancing Chemical Equations Stoichiometry (Predicting Quantity of Product from a Reaction) Ideal Gas Laws The manipulatives set includes: Element Flashcards Doo-wop Mania card game Doo-wop Board, a unique tool to teach electron orbital arrangements and ionization. Compound Intensity cards to accompany Compound Intensity Board Game found in the Friendly Chemistry teacher's edition Ion Flashcards, multi-sized cards to teach ion symbol and charge, and how compounds form.

Typically counted as 1/4 credit for high school students. Easy Grammar Ultimate Grade 12 Teacher's Guide Most children dread grammar study because it is too complex. But Easy Grammar Ultimate Grade 12 Teacher's Guide is just that, easy. The Easy Grammar Ultimate series is designed to introduce and teach essential grammar concepts to older students, regardless of their previous grammar background. In just ten to fifteen minutes a day, your child will be functioning at his grade level and be competent to undertake any state or college prep tests. As a bonus, as your child practices his grammar skills, he will also be learning age-appropriate history, science, literature, geography, and so much more. What sets Easy Grammar Ultimate apart from other grammar programs is the key role prepositions play. Once your child can identify and eliminate the prepositional phrases in a sentence, then determining the subject, verb, and other parts of speech is much easier. If you lack an adequate grammar background and find even the preceding sentence intimidating, relax. The hardest part will be memorizing the prepositions. After that, everything falls into place. You can order workbooks if you don't want to copy the pages out of the Teacher's Guide. However, we are strong proponents of independent study, so we recommend that each child receive a Teacher's Guide instead of a student workbook. He can read the teaching instructions, do the worksheets, and correct his own work. An answer key is included in the back. This option does not work as well if you have a couple of children who need the same level book. In that case, photocopying the worksheets from the Teacher's Guide or using the workbooks (which may not be photocopied) may be more cost-effective for you. This series contains 180 daily teaching lessons.

The 90+ literary selections featured in The Implications of Literature: Trailblazer include novellas, short stories, novel excerpts, two full-length dramas, essays, epic poetry, ballads, sonnets, elegies, odes, and lyrical poetry. William Shakespeare's Macbeth is presented in the unique TextWord Shakespeare format that enhances students' critical and analytical thinking abilities. 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. Math-U-See Calculus is typically a good fit for a student entering Twelfth grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See Calculus Calculus begins with a review of graphing, functions, limits, and basic trigonometry. Calculus introduces derivatives and integrals and various techniques and rules for using them. Many application problems involving science, business, and other topics are included. It is equivalent to a one-year high school calculus course. 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. Note: Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught In The Calculus Level?

Life of Fred: Logic This will be the quirkiest thinking skills book your teen will ever encounter and probably the most thorough. In fact, Life of Fred: Logic is suitable as a text for both high school and college. Logic is the study of reasoning, with the goal of discerning sound reasoning from bad. Training our teens to construct intelligent lines of reason and spot weak ones is a valuable skill in everyday life and in any career. Instead of dry exposition and endless drill exercises, Life of Fred: Logic uses witty narratives and puzzles that teens will find appealing. It includes inductive reasoning, seventeen logical fallacies, predicate logic, direct and indirect proofs, and so much more. One of the primary roles of parenthood is to teach our teens to think analytically, and for that, Life of Fred will be a great tool in your toolbox.

This will be the quirkiest thinking skills book your teen will ever encounter and probably the most thorough. In fact, Life of Fred: Logic is suitable as a text for both high school and college. Logic is the study of reasoning, with the goal of discerning sound reasoning from bad.
 
Training our teens to construct intelligent lines of reason and spot weak ones is a valuable skill in everyday life and in any career. Instead of dry exposition and endless drill exercises, Life of Fred: Logic uses witty narratives and puzzles that teens will find appealing. 
 
It includes inductive reasoning, seventeen logical fallacies, predicate logic, direct and indirect proofs, and so much more. One of the primary roles of parenthood is to teach our teens to think analytically, and for that, Life of Fred will be a great tool in your toolbox.
