Features: Each suggested weekly schedule has four
easy-to-manage lessons that combine reading, worksheets, and
vocabulary-building opportunities. Worksheets, quizzes, and tests are
perforated and three-hole punched — materials are easy to tear out, hand
out, grade, and store. Adjust the schedule and materials needed to best
work within your educational program. Space is given for assignments
dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. Adapt the days to your school
schedule.
Workflow: Students will read the pages
in their book and then complete each section of the Teacher Guide. They
should be encouraged to complete as many of the activities and projects
as possible as well. Tests are given at regular intervals with space to
record each grade. If used with younger students, they may be given the
option of only choosing activities or projects of interest to them and
taking open book tests.
Calculating Credits: This
course should take between 60 to 90 hours to complete, depending on any
additional hours spent on added research, essay writing assignments, or
suggested lab work, if assigned. Elective courses that take 60 hours
are commonly assigned ½ credit, while those 120 hours or more are
assigned a full credit; core courses require over 150 hours for a
credit. Based on whether this is being used as a core or elective
course, make your final credits calculation based on the total hours of
coursework completed in the year.
