Literature/History Tuition - Weekly 1.5 hour seminar
One class that integrates literature and history, this seminar will include rich stories, poetry, in-class activities and conversation. Students will have thoughtfully paced writing, reading, research, and presentation assignments to cultivate lifelong learning habits and truth-driven inquiry. A chronological timeline will provide the spine of this class, as the students explore Ancient to Medieval history (in parallel with the Idaeon high school class), while a Commonplace Book will be kept as a collection of ideas and thoughts of these eras. Class will gather in-person weekly, led by a teacher-mentor for 90-minutes. Students will be offered a completion and participation assessment from the instructor while parents, as home educators, will provide their final home assessments. At-home work will include weekly readings, a keeping of a chronological timeline and a Commonplace Book, periodic projects and essays. Each semester will include a capstone project.
Skills Needed: Students will need to be willing to participate in respectful class conversation, frequent reading and in-class writing. It’s fine if some of these skills are hard and a place to grow; all students need to give their best effort, recognizing humility is necessary for all learning. Students will need to practice listening to the thoughts of others.
