A Peek at the Projects in CTC

Post by Carrie » Sun Jul 19, 2009 5:40 pm

Ladies,

As we now have Creation to Christ at the printer, I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek into some of the projects within CTC! :wink:

Some of the projects for students include the following:
Making a Mesopotamian cylinder seal to sign their names like a king, creating a shepherd's headband and wearing the headband at a shepherd's meal, baking Egyptian Palace Bread and forming an Egyptian column like those at the Great Temple of Karnak, designing a High Priest's breastplate complete with Hebraic gemstones, making a Philistine's helmet and a sling, producing and playing the ancient Phoenician board game Twenty Squares, making a clay map of Israel and her neighbors, folding an oragami prayer box, baking a cookie model of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream, making a gragger and a traditional Jewish cookie for Purim, acting out Phidippides' historic run, having mock Olympic Game Trials, making and writing on our own version of papyrus, creating a trading card game to trade products from the port at Carthage, building a working catapult, planning a Roman meal with choice of Roman custard or cheesecake, drawing and cutting out Roman clothing as worn by a Roman soldier, etching a cross, making scented rocks and labeling them with descriptions of Peter, mapping Apostle Pauls' missionary journeys, and making a wordless book to share the gospel with others. :D

We can't wait to get started using CTC this upcoming year with our second son!

Blessings,
Carrie

Carrie:

Thanks so much for the posting of projects that we will be doing soon! Excitement is building in our home as we will begin CTC about mid August. We were happy to read that it is off to the printer as I had been checking the board daily to see if there was an update on the progress. Thank you for sharing your gift of knowledge and writing with us. Also, thank your family for us as I know they have to share you and it is not always easy sharing your wife and mom!

Can't wait till we get there! We have a few years ahead of us and very excited about starting Bigger and doing LHTH again! Thank you sharing. I'm glad you are meeting your headlines and I pray that the guides will come out as planned and shipped off to everyone in a timely manner.
