Student Activity Pages
Weekly, these pages provide worksheets, questions, or other assignments for students. The information is written to the student, but you will help him choose wisely so that he can learn through a variety of modalities — visual, tactile, or auditory.
For grammar and dialectic students,
colorful worksheets provide reinforcement activities for the Literature selection students read.
Weekly, a
colored quarter circle in the lower corner tells your student which pages are meant for him.
Additionally, in Student Activity Pages for grammar and dialectic levels are found
ideas for activities and hands-on projects and geography assignments that make learning come alive for many young students.
Pages for older students (dialectic and rhetoric levels) include questions that prepare them for discussions. These are divided into Accountability and Thinking Questions each week. Be sure to read the Loom supplement so you get the most out of these resources!
Accountability Questions (AQs) help students find and focus on the main ideas for each weekly history topic. Answers to AQs are found in books listed on the Primary Reading Assignment Chart.
Thinking
Questions (TQs) are not typically factual in
nature. Students must often extrapolate answers from
their readings. They may not reach the full answer
before discussion time, when you, the teacher,
will help them connect the dots. The purpose for these questions is to “prime the pump” for discussion time, where you lead your child by Socratic questioning to form his own Christian worldview.
Weekly,
rhetoric Literature directions lead older students through detailed analyses of the Great Books.
