Language Arts – The Art of Communication
During this class, students soon discover that knowledge is only theirs as they learn to give it away. They give it away by teaching it, writing it, displaying it, recording it, acting it, drawing it, singing it, composing a song about it, etc. The important skills of reading and writing, spelling and punctuation, are developed as students discover the many ways they can share with others and perfect what they have learned. The more they share their knowledge, the more it is theirs.
As students progress through their Language Arts studies, Dr. Kimber will show them how to perform weekly creative academic service projects. After completing their manual, students will have developed the talent of “learning how to lose oneself in academic service.”
$60.00
If you register before school begins, there is a free trial included, where you can access previously recorded classes.
Students can choose which of the 3 Language Arts manuals they would like to study. It usually takes one school year to go through one manual.
There are three learning exercises for each principle, and students can work as fast or slow as they wish. First, students memorize a principle. They then refer to the scriptures of choice to see how that principle is presented or used in scripture. Finally, the students practice the principle by using it in an academic service project.
