This course presents a basic survey and a critical analysis of the
philosophers, the literary masters, and the cultural influencers of the
last 300 years for the Christian student. In contrast with other
literature courses, this text is filled with relevant biblical
references and truths that will equip the student to address the false
worldviews contained in the “great” humanist works of this era.
Every Christian student should be familiar with the ideas and the
writings that have formed the modern world and that subsequently
undermined the Christian foundations in the West. Young people must also
be well-versed and well-equipped to engage in the battle of worldviews
before they graduate from high school or college. That is why this
curriculum is so desperately needed. It includes:
Features: Each suggested weekly schedule has two
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.
Lesson Scheduling: Space
is given for assignment dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. For
example, the parent may opt for a M–W schedule rather than a M, W, F
schedule. Each week listed has four to five days. Adapt the days to your
school schedule. As the student completes each assignment, he/she
should put an “X” in the box.
