Creative Writing (5-8 Tell Your Story)

Everyone loves a good story and with a little practice, anyone can learn to write one. God has given each of us the gift of language, and each of us has our own unique way of expressing ourselves. Let us learn together, how to perfect our writing, so others will enjoy what we have to tell them. In this course, we will be concentrating on what constitutes a good story, how to use what we already know to create that story, and how to polish our writing, so it will sparkle and delight the reader or listener. Each month, we'll explore a different type of writing and discuss such topics as how to grab the reader's attention, logical progression in writing, and wrapping up a good, tight story line, so readers will want to open up our "gift" again and again. Join us!

Healthwise

Is your child interested in pursuing something in the medical or para-medical profession in the future and desires to get a taste of some of the skills needed? Do you have a middle or high school child who wants to work in your church nursery, babysit, or be a nanny but must be CPR and First Aid Certified before he or she may do so? If so, this might be the class you are looking for.

The first part of the year will be spent on investigating other portions of human health including: communicable diseases, drug and alcohol abuse, nutrition, eating disorders, exercise, fetal development, and general adolescent physical changes.

The second part of the year, students passing both skills and written tests will become American Red Cross certified for Lay Responder CPR/AED for Adults/Children/Infants and First Aid. This is basic certification, with a standard two-year expiration, allowing the students to be competent in lower level emergency care.

Parents should know their child’s level of social maturity as to whether they are ready for this class.


Literary Analysis 9-12

This class uses classic short stories to present techniques, vocabulary, and practice to develop literary perception. We will further apply these learned elements by reading, discussing, and writing about some novels, non-fiction, and poetry. Enrolled students will receive a list of additional books to be purchased or obtained from the library. This class is designed to be advantageous for the college-bound student.
