On An Exciting Note!
Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 7:48 pm
I have been praying about my Fall Class Schedule at our homeschool co-op. Heart Of Dakota has definitely influenced the class choices! I have director approval and it's officially in place! Can I share them with you? The first three are based on Heart Of Dakota. (The Film Making will be pulling in genre's based on DITHOR) These are the actual blurbs they put up on the website!
Drawn Into The Heart Of Reading
This Amazing Curriculum was voted as one of Cathy Duffy's "TOP 100 PICKS"! It is a literary Analysis that pulls in..., Pre-Reading Activities, Literature Discussion, Story Element Lessons, Higher Order Thinking Skills, Godly Character, Vocabulary and Creative Projects! There is a $25 supply fee as this purchases your child's "Student Book". 7th & Up
Lights.., Camera..., ACTION~ Filmmaking!
This class is for our future film-makers! Each week you will be putting together your very own short movies! We will delve into different Genre's..., Fiction, Fantasy, Biography, Mystery, Humor, Suspense! We will talk about what each of these categories mean and then YOU will turn them into your very own MASTERPIECES!!! (You will need a camcorder and either the ability to burn to a DVD or the wires to run it directly from the camera into the TV.)
Early American History
This semester we are going to journey back to 1500 and learn how America began! Get ready for hands on FUN as we study history, science and geography! This class is based on the "Heart Of Dakota" Curriculum. Heart Of Dakota is a Christ Centered program that pulls in Unit Study and Charlotte Mason. Each child will need their own 3-Ring Notebook. There is a $25 Supply fee that covers all materials being used!
This ones not related to HOD, but it's part of the package
Quiet On The Set!
One of my most fondest memories in all the years I've taught at co-op......, Making Commercials For The C.Ho.S.E.N. yearbook! I was blown away by the talent and creativity each of the children brought with them. We had a BLAST! Taking that experience, I have turned it into a DRAMA class of sorts! This semester we are going to have a classroom full of props, A Camcorder and a weekly challenge to see who can come up with the most creative commercials. We will break into small teams and you will be given the "Product" that you and your team must sell! We will be mixing the skills of Drama with Marketing! Join us this semester as we have fun Growing and Learning together!
I love how co-op is tying in with our schooling. I wish we all lived close together!
