Special notes: You can join ONE or TWO workshops this summer once in July and once in August and hone your fiction writing to make your story the best it can be! This course is offered twice and you can use different stories for each, so that each course is unique and helpful to making your stories great. Class starts on a Thursday and ends on a Tuesday. Each course closes at 12 students, therefore we recommend registering early. Total Classes: 6 Class dates: Tuesdays and Thursdays, July 9 to July 28, 2020 Starting time: 11:30 AM Eastern (10:30 Central 9:30 Mountain 8:30 Pacific) Duration: 60 minutes Prerequisite: None. Some experience writing preferred, but all writers who have a story to share are welcome. Suggested Grade Level: 9th-12th grade Suggested Credit: 1/2 semester Creative Writing or English. This course may be combined with other fiction writing courses for a full semester credit. Instructor: Professor Robin Conley, MFA Fee: $87 per course if you register on or before April 15, 2020. $107 after April 15 for all 6 classes. (Registration closes 8 days before the first class. Late students cannot be accepted due to the pre-assigned work.) Course Description: This course is an opportunity for writers who have a piece of writing they want to share to receive feedback from their peers. Students wishing to take this workshop course will need to have 8-12 pages of an original story already created by the time the course starts. Each class day we will have a mini lesson on writing, and then the students and I will be heavily analyzing student story submissions. We will discuss the stories together, and provide feedback to help improve writing skills and strengthen the story. Students are expected to both submit a piece of their own work for feedback, and to provide feedback for others. Each author will be required to takes notes as their story is discussed and to listen quietly, and then at the end of all feedback there will be a chance for the authors to respond to anything said during the critique and to ask questions. The most important thing for all students taking this course is to be constructive when giving feedback, and to keep an open mind toward feedback that is received. After each class session, Professor Conley will have a short meeting with the one or two students whose work was read that day to check in with them and go over their feedback. Workshop Submission Guidelines: Submission deadlines are July 1, 2020 for the July course OR July 29, 2020 for the August course.

Learn to think critically in our “information age,” understand history and current events, and make good decisions while living out your Catholic faith with wisdom. Total classes: 8 Class Dates: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, August 3 to August 13, 2020 Starting time: 4:00 PM Eastern (3:00 Central 2:00 Mountain 1:00 Pacific) Duration: 55 minutes Prerequisite: None Suggested grade level: 9th to 12th grade. Middle school students are welcome with adjustments to the assignments. Suggested credit: 1/3 semester History, Philosophy, or Critical Thinking Fee: $127 if you register on or before April 15, 2020. $147 if you register after April 15 for all 6 classes. (Registration closes one week before the first day of class. After that date, registrations are not guaranteed. There is a $20 surcharge for late enrollments after the course is closed.) Instructor: Christopher Martin, PhD Course Description: Modern sources of news and entertainment are cleverly designed to compel, persuade, sensationalize, and attract attention. The purpose of this class is twofold: to both teach students how to think critically about the information they encounter, as well as how to construct well-written arguments with appropriate, supporting source material. Few people in our society realize that the true benefit of studying history goes beyond the simple lessons of the past. Rather, by giving critical analysis to the interpretations of the past, students can themselves learn to identify and scrutinize sources of information, and form their own opinions with greater wisdom. Course Outline: Day 1: Introduction and overview of syllabus and assignments Introductory probe into the scope and utility of History. Days 2-5: Thinking Critically Day 2: Historical and Ideological Day 3: Primary and Secondary Sources Day 4: Causation, Contingency, and Complexity Day 5: Active, Critical Reading Days 6-8: Arguing Persuasively Day 6: Historiography and Historians' Fallacies Day 7: Thesis Statements, and Supporting an Argument Day 8: The Catholic Theology of History Course materials: Historiographical Reviews, by Christopher Martin ($16.50), https://www.paypal.com/webapps/hermes?token=90T328116D483300K&useraction=commit&mfid=1593173557783_f589a10960241 Homework:

There are: recordings for the vocabulary words, or the lesson of the week, the student can listen and repeat what he hears to develop his speech quizzes on Moodle and the exercises from the Student book.
