Customer Reviews
This course is an all inclusive course that uses Pilgrims Progress along with it. I suppose if you choose this course you would not necessarily want to choose Pilgrims Progress or Pilgrims Progress Student Journal unless you wanted to do additional studies.
I appreciate that this course has spelling, grammar, writing and reading all in one place. I guess then that it also eliminates the need for other courses that are currently offered. Although I would still recommend American, British and English Lit as Lit courses only (eliminate the writing portion since this course covers that), and Jensons Grammar, Format Writing, and Vocabulary as extra reinforcement.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Pilgrim's Progress Journey Journal is a required text for this level of Language Lessons for a Living Education.
Students will learn how to apply grammar and punctuation rules in their writing
They will practice high school communication skills through essays, summaries, interviews and an oral presentation.
This book will help a student to be able to share their faith in a way that is engaging.
I love the picture, hymn, scripture and poem study throughout this book.
Each lesson includes a space for the student to record their notes, favorite quotes or sketches as they read through Pilgrims Progress. All of which are great skills for a student of this age to practice.
Some of the great features of this book:
Almost 500 pages
36 weekly lessons
Open and go
Rubrics included for assistance with grading
The Teaching Resource Section in the back of the book includes both required and optional aids and activities. It is an extremely helpful resource section.
This is a fantastic Language Arts course for ninth grade student!
This book is targeted for grade 9 and up and is set up for the student to earn 1 English credit over a 36-week schedule, five days a week. A Bible and dictionary is required, as well as the Pilgrim’s Progress, journal edition.
Day 1 exposes students to new vocabulary, spelling words, Scripture memory, and a special feature that includes a variety of picture studies to hymn studies, and more of the like. Day 2 focuses on grammar and punctuation. Day 3 expands on communication skills. Day 4 is where Pilgrim’s Progress is studied and focuses on worldview and literary analysis. Day 5 is a review day of that weeks’ lesson. These reviews can be used as a weekly assessment if so desired. It is very organized in set up and makes it clear what your students can expect each day.
All assessments and grading keys are included, as well as grading rubrics and templates. Grammar study sheets are also included in the appendix, which are truly a great resource and tool to have!
It is very comprehensive and includes everything a new high school student will need to succeed. Some of the aspects included are: picture study, scripture study, grammar, spelling, essay writing and instruction, poem study, hymn study, and a study about Pilgrim's Progress.
Each week it is laid out as follows:
Day 1- special feature, vocabulary/spelling words, and scripture memory
Day 2- grammar and punctuation and application
Day 3- communication such as written, verbal, etc.
Day 4- Pilgrim's Progress study (analyze)
Day 5- review, quizzes, or tests
This book is a full curriculum. No other books needed (except the Pilgrim's Progress Journal). We have waited for this wonderful book to come out and now we are eager to dig in and learn. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an extensive and complete curriculum for 9th grade English/language arts.
It’s absolutely amazing! I love that this course uses Pilgrim’s Progress Journal as a required text. They work so beautifully together. I highly recommend.
This curriculum is very comprehensive, covering all the subject areas under the Language Arts umbrella. Each week covers grammar and punctuation, spelling, vocabulary, literary analysis, and writing. There are picture, scripture, and poetry studies throughout. I am so happy to find all these areas in the same course.
The course is written to the student and can be completed independently. There are a few sections that need a parent’s check off before proceeding, but they are clearly marked. I love how in-depth this curriculum is, yet it’s so simple to use.
