Total Classes: 12 Class Dates: Tuesdays, January 21 to April 21, 2020. (No class February 25 or April 7.) Starting Time: 10:00 AM Eastern (9:00 Central; 8:00 Mountain; 7:00 Pacific) Duration: 55 minutes Prerequisite: The ability to read two chapters per week with understanding. Suggested Grade Level: 9th grade and up Suggested Credit: One full semester credit Literature or Ancient Literature. Fee: $167 if you register on or before Nov. 15, 2019. $187 after Nov. 15. ($207 after Jan. 16) Instructor: Dr. Henry Russell Course Description: Dr. Russell teaches Homer’s Odyssey as the greatest hymn to marriage and fatherhood outside of the Bible. It is also one of the West’s greatest adventure stories. It traces the quest to restore a family under attack after 20 years of the father’s absence. But to come home, Odysseus must restore relations with the Gods, which have been broken by his fault. The Great Wanderings fill only five books out of twenty-four. The other nineteen are devoted to the restoration of the family and the kingdom. It takes Odysseus the same twelve chapters to get from the shore of his island, Ithaka, into full possession of his house in peace as it takes to get him home to Ithaka on his ten-year long quest. These beautiful chapters on human relations, as well as the wonders of Odysseus’ purgation through his quest, make the epic a primary book of wisdom for all times and cultures. Course Outline: (week by week)
Course Materials: Homer. The Odyssey. The Robert Fitzgerald translation (Vintage Classics) is highly recommended, ISBN: 0679728139. Any translation you use should have line numbers. Homework: Each week you will read two chapters of the epic. That will take about 1 to 1.5 hours for most readers. There will be automated-graded weekly quizzes for immediate feedback, as well as two exams, one in the middle and one at the end of the course. Please come to class with thoughts and questions about what you have read. More

Course Description: Living History Through Literature is a project-based course series offered to 5th through 8th grade students. These courses will weave the study of literature into a meaningful and engaging encounter with a specific era of history. In LHTL: Modern History 3, we journey back to 1849 when a wagon train is ready to leave Rock Island, Illinois, heading for California in search of gold. Among these hopeful pioneers—but ostracized because the train will take no women—is a young woman from Wabash River, below Terre Haute, traveling alone with her own light wagon. In this project-based course, students will engage in short quizzes and in projects of their choice. Project options will include fiction writing, preparing period-specific food and/or costumes, creating lap books, recreating scenes from the novel (Legos, clay, K’nex, digital drawing, hand-drawing, etc.), building a timeline, mapping, and more. Course Outline:
Course Materials: Polly Kent Rides West, by Robert McCulloch Purchase the book new from BethlehemBooks.com or used from BookFinder.com. Your student will need Word 2007 or later version or the ability to convert a document to a Word-compatible document. Homework: Weekly quizzes and reading assignments. Each week, students will work on one project-based assignment that will culminate in a final novel project submission (due at the end of week 6). Homework (including novel reading) will take 1.5 to 3 hours per week. Parents are encouraged to support younger students by reading texts aloud and helping with project planning and execution. More

20Spr_deLaveaga_UnitStudy2_10AM_GS
Welcome to our Grade School Unit-Based Curriculum! To simply and streamline home education for families who want an integrated literature-based curriculum, the three Grade School Project-Based Courses incorporate History, Science, Language Arts, Art and Religion. Your Student learns all subjects together, in a unit that coordinates and dovetails learning into one harmonized program. Program Description This program for 3rd through 6th grade students is a Project-Based Unit Study that focuses on the era of Ancient History. The literature-based program is segmented into a three-part complete course of study. The entire program, spanning a four-year sequence, will utilize all four volumes of Phillip Campbell’s History series from TAN Books, The Story of Civilization. Coordination with the Middle and High School Programs If you are also teaching older students, Homeschool Connections provides both live, interactive courses and recorded, independent-learning courses that follow this exact program – so that your elementary through high school students can use the same curriculum together. By following the resources provided, you can use this curriculum in cooperation with your middle and high school students in the areas of History, Literature, and Philosophy. The goal of this program is to empower families to embark upon a full multi-grade study of the same era in their homeschool – making learning more concise, focused, and unified across all of the family’s learning experience. Course Format The yearlong program is taught in three segments: Course 1, Course 2, and Course 3. Families sign their students up for all three segments, to create a complete year of learning. This program uses a “flipped classroom” approach in a four-days-per-week course of study: families watch teacher-created videos and work together on interactive lessons (guided materials and instruction) in advance of the class. After the week of home learning, the once-a-week LIVE online class “becomes the place to work through problems, advance concepts, and engage in collaborative learning.”1 Families are provided with daily lessons, checklists, videos, and other materials. Each week culminates in a LIVE, thirty-minute online class meeting for parents and students together with the instructor. During each weekly class meeting, students will discuss the weekly readings, play 1 The Flipped Classroom, https://www.educationnext.org/the-flipped-classroom/, accessed April 9, 2019. educational/high interest games to reinforce the week’s learning, and have the opportunity to share project work and poetry recitation on camera.Class Time Schedule All live, interactive classes meet on Thursdays. 10:00 AM Eastern (9:00 Central; 8:00 Mountain; 7:00 Pacific) Course 2 Spring 2020 -- Project-Based Ancient History Unit Study Part 2 (13 weeks) Classes begin January 9, 2020, and continue through April 2, 2020 Mandatory Parent meeting: January 9, 2020 $259 early enrollment / $279 after November 15, 2019 / $299 after January 2, 2020 Multiple students per family: Siblings can watch the sessions free and complete the work if the additional work is not graded by the teacher (parents grade the work).

20Spr_Russell_Fellowship_Th1000_HS
Maximum number of students: 25 Course Name: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Class Dates: Thursdays, January 23 to March 26, 2020. (No class February 27, 2020.) Total Classes: 9 Starting Time: 10:00 AM Eastern (9:00 Central; 8:00 Mountain; 7:00 Pacific) Duration: 55 minutes Prerequisite: Ability to read the book and ask questions. Since most students will have seen the Peter Jackson films and will want to make comparisons, it is probably a good idea to see them. Suggested Grade Level: 9th to 10th grade. However, this is a timeless story to be enjoyed by all ages. We are happy to accept students from 8th grade and up to 12th grade and beyond. Suggested High School Credit: ½ semester Literature. Fee: $127 if you enroll on or before November 15, 2019. $147 after Nov. 1 for all 9 classes. ($167 after Jan. 13) Instructor: Henry Russell, Ph.D. Course Description: This trilogy of novels is too well known for any brief description to be of use here. They are the most popular books of the twentieth-century and quite likely to be among the central books of Western literature. The poet Auden thought they compare well with Milton’s Paradise Lost. We will discuss the volumes in their outer form of a mythologized hero struggle of the kind with which Classical Liberal Education is replete (from Homer’s Iliad, and Virgil’s Aeneid through the Norse eddas and Anglo-Saxon poems and Arthurian romances). At the same time we will read them in light of Tolkien’s unambiguous declaration that "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision.” As such they reflect an imagined world that parallels clearly with the world of suffering and redemption shown forth in a book as deep as the Bible. The Fellowship of the Rings takes us from the Hobbit world of ordinary comfort into confrontation with the evil that has always plagued the created world. It asks for individual sacrifice from several creatures only to show them that they are linked into a vast body of those who strive to keep goodness alive, each on very different levels of culture and consciousness. This ancient body is full of poetry, beauty, and varied forms of virtue. The fellowship of the nine volunteers to do the impossible and the seemingly suicidal. In the mines of Moria and on the banks of the river Anduin, the band is made to pay a terrible price for thoughtlessness and falls apart from individual sin. Course Outline:
Course Materials: The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R.Tolkien, any unabridged edition Homework: Each week you will read two to three chapters of the epic. That will take about 1 to 1.5 hours for most readers. There will be weekly automated-graded quizzes available for immediate feedback, as well as two exams, one in the middle and one at the end of the course. Please come to class with thoughts and questions about what you have read.

Bani is given an unexpected part to play, the outcome of which is to forever change his life. This novel dramatizes a turning-point of history, in 445 BC, when Judaism was re-established in the Promised Land, and purified for her unfolding mission. In this project-based course, students will engage in short quizzes and in projects of their choice. Project options will include fiction writing, preparing period-specific food and/or costumes, creating lap books, recreating scenes from the novel (Legos, clay, K’nex, digital drawing, hand-drawing, etc.), building a timeline, mapping, and more.

He has been credited with the conversion of many of today’s Catholic leaders, including Homeschool Connections’ Joseph Pearce, Kevin O’Brien, and most famously Dale Ahlquist. What is it about Gilbert Keith Chesterton’s writing that leads people to the Catholic Church?

It is recommended that students continue to read Chesterton’s writings once this course is completed as well as check out all of the other Homeschool Connections Chesterton courses (What’s Wrong with the World, Everlasting Man, etc.) Course Outline:
