New to Classical Education?
Every parent knows their child best! If your student would feel more confident this year with an introduction to most of what we'll be studying, I highly recommend this book from the Core Knowledge Foundation.
Writing
21st Century writing has classical roots!
“The most valued people in the 21st century,” writes Howard Gardner (2009), are those who “can survey a wide range of sources, decide which is most important and worth paying attention to, and then put this information together in ways that make sense to one-self and ultimately others… They will rise to the top of the pack.” • Solving a complex problem • Descriptive • Expository • Compare/Contrast • Narrative • Resolve Conflicting Views This year students will learn to proof read, edit, and publish their work. They will also practice writing a proper sentence, several different types of paragraphs, and other formal and informal writing styles using the Every Child a Writer curriculum and several lessons from Shurley Grammar. |
