Logic 7 & 8
Spanish I: Spanish I emphasizes grammar and the parts of speech as vital tools for the correct speaking and understanding of Spanish. Our goal with Spanish I is to teach students "why." We focus on the rules that govern the language and spend a large amount of time comparing Spanish and English grammar. Students will learn vocabulary that relates to specific subjects and then learn to discuss those subjects. While students memorize vocabulary each week, using groups of related words to talk about various subjects and scenarios is "the icing on the cake"—the "cake" being an understanding of the patterns of the Spanish language, and knowing which word belongs where and why.
Omnibus I Primary (History & Literature): Omnibus I Primary focuses on great works of the ancient world from the Beginning and culminating in the first century. Students read and learn to appreciate the Great Books in light of the truth of Scripture. As part of Omnibus I Primary, students delve into the works of Plato, dealing with the Socratic Method. The Omnibus courses are the best way we know to engage with the great works of Western Civilization and learn to think biblically about everything.
Omnibus I Secondary (Bible & Literature): Omnibus I Secondary covers works from and about the ancient world and other important books. Some reading includes modern works by Peter Kreeft, presenting fictional conversations between Socrates, abortionists, and university professors. Discussions will direct students to look at ideas from a biblical worldview and challenge them to articulate opinions, aligning them with biblical truth. The course naturally complements the primary books course. Students read and learn to appreciate the Great Books in light of the truth of Scripture.
Lost Tools of Writing II (LTW II): In LTW II, students will study classical rhetoric by studying the judicial address, which refines the persuasive essay taught in LTW I. Through the eight lessons/addresses in LTW II, your students will work within the framework of the three canons, but each will be aimed at this new kind of address. By implementing the three canons of classical rhetoric - Invention, Arrangement, and Elocution - your young writer will learn the process of crafting a coherent written argument, starting with the blank slate and ending with a complete and thorough essay. This familiarity will empower and provide confidence for your students.
