I kind of have a thing for books and I am quite sure that you can never have too many. I have always loved to read and have wanted to make sure that my family enjoys it as much as I do. Now that I am a grandmother, I want to make sure that my sweet little man has a quality stash of books to enjoy as well, so I was excited to find some pretty cool little books over at <a href="http://www.libraryanded.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Library and Educational Services LLC</b></span></a>. For purposes of review, I was able to choose one title from their <i>Who Was . . . ? </i>series, one CD from their <i>Lifehouse Theater</i> CDs series, and a selection of titles from their <i>Reinforced Hardcover Library Binding Nonfiction</i> books. </div>

Neat, huh? I started with <i>Who Was Jane Austen?</i> in order to get a real feel of the author so many have loved through the years. This 107-page, softcover book starts by sharing that Jane Austen is still considered one of the most interesting people in history and explains how each of her six published books has touched the hearts of readers. Jane Austen was a master of character and connection as she creatively wove the lives of ordinary people into the most interesting stories. She makes us see ourselves and realize that we can accomplish great things in the day-to-day. I enjoyed the look at her life and the historical notes included throughout the book. The black and white illustrations were fun as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After reading <i>Who Was Jane Austen?</i>, my next selection was the fully dramatized audio adventure <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> from the <i>Lifehouse Theater</i> CD series. It was exciting to step into the pages of the book and hear it come alive. I listened delightedly for a little over an hour and was sad when it ended. Although I knew who Jane Austen was, I had no idea how much I would enjoy her writings before now. She is funny and her characters are charming. I was excited to continue reading.</div>

After listening to the <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> <i>Theater</i> CD, I enjoyed reading the Real Reads versions of her very first book, <i>Sense and Sensibility</i>, and her second book, <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>. The Real Reads books are shorter versions of classic literature. T<span style="font-family: inherit;">hey feature the reinforced hardcover library binding that we all love because they make books durable for lots of use. Each book is 64-pages long and filled with colorful illustrations. They tell a condensed version of the classic story (without sacrificing content and main ideas) and encourage the reader to read the full novel in all of its original splendor. I like that these Real Reads offer children an easy introduction to great literature and also whet their appetite for more. Background information is included at the end of each book, as well as a <i>Further Reading</i> section, suggested websites to visit for more in depth learning, and even films to watch that have been adapted from the original story. Each book ends with a <i>Food for Thought</i> section that includes critical thinking questions, a look at overall themes, and an examination of style. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is such a great way to help children fall in love with literature that I decided we had to own them all. The Real Reads collection is the perfect start to an outstanding library. There are currently 17 titles included and you are going to want to own them all, too.</span></div>

Once I finish the Jane Austen collection, I think I will begin reading the Charles Dickens collection. And after that, I just may begin the "scary story" collection that includes <i>Dracula</i>, <i>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i>, and <i>Frankenstein</i>. I have never read any of those books and these shortened versions will be the perfect touch.</div>

<br />
Literature is one of my favorite subjects so I was happy to receive <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Lightning Literature & Composition's</b></span> <a href="https://www.hewitthomeschooling.com/Materials/mItem.aspx?id=8073" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>American Mid-Late 19th Century</b></span></a> from <a href="https://www.hewitthomeschooling.com/Home/hMain.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Hewitt Homeschooling Resources</b></span></a> for study at Long Leaf Academy. Written for high school students in 9th - 12th grades, this curriculum helps students to acquire college-level skills in composition through a directed response to great literature. We have found all of the <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Lightning Literature</b></span> courses are easy to implement and simple to understand and the required literature easy to obtain. This is the second American Literature course in the <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Lightning Lit & Comp</b></span> family, but it is not necessary to complete them in order.<br />
<br />
In <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-weight: bold;">American Literature: Mid-Late 19th Century</span>, students read and study Harriet Beecher Stowe's <i>Uncle Tom's Cabin</i>, poetry selections from Walt Whitman, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain's <i>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</i>, Stephen Crane's <i>The Red Badge of Courage</i>, Jack London's <i>The Call of the Wild</i>, and Bret Harte's short story "The Outcasts of Poker Flat." How's that for an all-star cast of awesome reads? Some of my all-time favorites are included here.<br />
<br />
For ease of instruction, <b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Hewitt Homeschooling Resource</span>s</b> offers the <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>American: Mid to Late 19th Century Pack</b></span> which includes the <i><b><a href="https://www.hewitthomeschooling.com/Materials/mItem.aspx?id=3440" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Student's Guide</span></a></b></i>, <b><i><a href="https://www.hewitthomeschooling.com/Materials/mItem.aspx?id=3441" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;">Teacher's Guide</span></a></i></b>, and the four books (listed above) that will be studied throughout the 18-week course. You can also purchase both of the <span style="color: #45818e;"><i><b>Guides</b></i></span> separately, if you prefer, and simply gather the required readings on your own. Poetry and Short Stories to be read are included in the text of the <span style="color: #45818e; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Student's Guide </span>and other required literature was easily obtained as a free download for our Kindles and Kindle Apps or off of our bookshelf. You can also find all of the required reading at your local library. For purposes of review, we received copies of both the <span style="color: #45818e;"><i><b>Student's Guide</b></i></span> and the <span style="color: #45818e;"><b><i>Teacher's Guide</i></b></span>.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span class="hTxtPurpleSubHead" style="font-family: inherit;">The <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>American Literature: Mid-Late 19th Century Student's Guide</b></span> is a 170-page perfect bound course written directly to the student (but parents will want to be familiar with it, too). The 4 units are divided into 8 lessons and contain enough material to be considered a 1/2 English credit on the high school transcript. <span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Hewitt Homeschooling Resources </b></span>recommends that all <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Lightning Literature</b></span> courses be completed in one semester (that's the "lightning" part of this curriculum). The rigorous schedule is perfect for students on an Honor's track. </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">Students work at their own pace for 18 weeks with basic "chunks" of assignments laid out for them. For example, in Week 5 students are assigned to read chapers 36 - 45 from <i>Uncle Tom's Cabin</i>, answer the comprehension questions, read the 5 1/2 page Literary Lesson on <i>Theme</i> for Unit 1, Lesson 1, complete a Writing Exercise for the Unit, and write a rough draft of the assigned paper. They can sit and read all of the chapters at one time or spread them out over a few days. They may choose to read a chaper and answer its corresponding compreshension questions before moving on to the next chapter or read all of the chapters together and then answer all of the comprehension questions together. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">So far, we have appreciated the poetry of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson and enjoyed discussing the difference in ballads, epics, elegies. idylls, and pastorals. My daughter was impressed to compare the writings of British Literature's Christopher Marlowe with contemporary American poets. We have skipped around in the lesson order to study the craft of poetry in depth (this is perfectly okay to do) and spent some time revisiting the novels of Mark Twain and Jack London. We have laughed and cried as we read along. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Each unit's lessons follows the same pattern: Introduction and bio of the author which includes details about the literary selection and things to look for/think about while you read, Comprehension Questions to answer as you complete a reading assignment <i>(or to use for testing what has been read)</i>, a Literary Lesson that teaches the craft of writing <i>(</i><i>theme, sound and imagery, humor, language)</i></span><span style="background-color: white;">, and Writing Assignments that offer practice of the skills being taught. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">I especially like that the readings are broken down into do-able chunks. After reading the assigned chapters, students answer 5 - 10 comprehension questions to make sure they are reading carefully and not rushing through anything. The emphasis is on responding to great literature through composition, not just checking off a task. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">For further study (but not included in the schedule), Appendixes list additional discussion questions and project suggestions for each of the literary works studied. In my opinion, these are perfect helps to qualify the course as an Honor's course. Students have the option to do literature-based art projects, history and geography activities, and more. There are Bible studies and nature ideas as well as additional reading lists.</span><br />

Well worth the money, this valuable resource helps you to follow your student's progress while encouraging literary excellence. For easy reference, I added the Teacher's Guide to my school planning binder. This way the answers were easily accessible and I could make sure we stayed on task.</span><br />

<br />
I have the utmost respect for all things published by <a href="https://www.memoriapress.com/" id="id_c8f6_6d12_990_ec8e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Memoria Press</b></span></a> and appreciate that they offer quality resources to help parents provide a classical CHRISTIAN education for their children. <a href="https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/christian-studies/wars-jews/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The Wars of the Jews</b></span></a> is a high school curriculum in the Christian Studies program of <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Memoria Press</b></span> and serves as an excellent introduction to Christianity as a whole. Based upon the book <i>The Fall of Jerusalem</i>, written originally by Josephus, a Jew and Roman citizen in the first century A.D., and translated for modern study by William Whiston, <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The Wars of the Jews</b></span> offers personal insight into the destruction of Jerusalem and the subsequent spread of Christianity. <br />
<br />
Although it is considered a "short course" that can be completed in only a few months of study, it is not one to be taken lightly. The amount of history discovered and discussed is amazingly in-depth as it comes from actual eyewitness account. Reading through the pages of <i>The Fall of Jerusalem</i> is like taking a peek into a series of personal journals. You can see, hear, and feel the battles raging around you. How cool is that?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The Wars of the Jews</b></span> set consists of the following three parts:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The Wars of the Jews</b></span> <i>Student Guide</i> (26-pages) serves as a workbook to make sure that students understand what they read in the text. It gives the breakdown of chapters and offers a space to fill-in-the-blank as you read and study. </li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The Wars of the Jews</b></span> <i>Teacher Guide</i> (35-pages) is a replica of the <i>Student Guide</i> with the answers for all of the lessons included. The pages are numbered exactly the same for easy reference. Additionally, it includes a 30-question Josephus Test and Answer Key. This comprehensive test has students fill in vocabulary words, identify imporant people, places, and things from the book, recall specific quotes and who said what, complete short answer discussion, and label and draw on a map. There is even an opportunity for Extra Credit.</li>

All three books are softcover. The Student Guide has a glossy finish for durability. There are no designated lesson plans so students are able to work at their own pace through the set. There are 10 lessons, a comprehensive review, and a final test included in this curriculum. The lessons specify which chapter(s) are to be read in order to complete the corresponding pages. Each lesson contains a <i>Facts to Know</i> section (pictured below) and 5 - 10 short answer Comprehension Questions. Several lessons also include a short Vocabulary section.</div>

The translated text was not a difficult read once we became accustomed to the writing style. Since the translated text begins with Chapter V of the original text, there is a bit of a learning curve to reading it, but once you have begun you will step easily into the story and have no problem following along as the action transpires in the Roman/Jewish war. An earlier study of this portion of history whetted our appetite for more information, so we were enthralled from the very beginning of the text. I think that you will find it just as interesting as we do. The constant reminder that GOD takes care of mankind offers encouragement to us as we walk through the day-to-day that is our crazy life. <br />

As always, <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Memoria Press</b></span> has given us well thought out resources that encourage a Kingdom focus. The early history of Christianity is one that we should all be more familiar with and reading about the early struggles help us to better appreciate our freedom to worship. I am using this set as a personal study so that I can help the middle schoolers in my ministry to better understand GOD's Word for themselves. Knowing that GOD was right with HIS people through the darkest of times helps us to hold onto the faith that HE is with us always today.<br />

I love a plan -- and a beautiful planner helps me to get my plan together. I was super pumped when my copy of the <a href="https://www.theoldschoolhouse.com/product/hey-mama-print-schoolhouse-planner-2019-2020/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b><i>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span> Homeschool Planner for 2019/20 Year</i></b></span></a> arrived from <a href="https://www.theoldschoolhouse.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>The Old Schoolhouse®</b></span></a> a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to dive right in and start adding things to the calendar. Y'all . . . this is seriously the prettiest planner. It's my favorite edition of the <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b></span></i> <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Planner</b></span> yet and it really does just get better and better each year. I think that's because Gena Suarez (author extraordinaire) has walked in our shoes and knows just what a homeschooling mama needs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started off by filling in the spaces on the July calendar because the summer is super-crazy in our world. What I like is that the <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b></span></i> <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Planner</b></span> has ample space for writing and mapping out exactly what's going on in our hectic life. The pages offer big spaces to write in and scratch out and write on again. It is truly designed for the homeschooling mama and fits my on-the-go lifestyle quite well. I love to be able to color-coordinate our activities and have space to write in all of the little details. How about you?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are two-page spreads for each month beginning with July 2019 and continuing all the way through June 2020. The blocks are perfect for ordering my days and making sure we get done what we need to get done. I like that the spread offers me an at-a-glance look at what's going on and what's coming up and gives me a little nudge to make sure to leave some "white space" so that we can unwind and connect right here at home.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Immediately following the two-page monthly spread, there are two-page spreads for each week of a traditional school year and these allow you to completely personalize your <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b></span></i> <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Planner</b></span> for your family. There are spaces for up to five children across the top and there are rows for seven subjects down the side, but if you have more than five children you can flip that puppy around and put your children's names down the side and up to five subjects being studied across the top. You might also like to utilize this two-page spread as a way to organize the weekly activities for your crew. Instead of subjects being studied, you might choose to label columns for piano, dance, art, scouts, karate, soccer, church activities (or whatever it is that your loves are involved in that keeps you on-the-go) and list the different books, bags, equipment, shoes, or uniforms needed for each day. That way, you can remember what needs to be where when and on what day as you load your vehicle up for the week. Now, I KNOW I'm not the only mama who lives life on-the-run. The great thing here is that YOU decide how the <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b></span></i> <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Planner</b></span> will best suit YOUR needs. It's flexible enough that you can make it work for YOUR family.<br />

The silver coiled-wire binding makes for smooth turning pages that are held together well -- with no fear of coming loose. This is a HUGE planner <i>(189-pages)</i> and if it's going to be a part of my everyday then I need it to stay together and be ready to go on-the-run. It really is super durable and I know all of my scribbles and scratches are right at home inside its covers. The front and back covers are sturdy cardstock with a glossy finish that make it easy to wipe right off when smudges appear. Somebody was smart enough to add these great protective covers, so surely I'm not the only mama who sits her things on to the kitchen countertop without checking to see what water droplets and food traces have been left behind, right? </div>

The <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b></span></i> <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Planner</b></span> truly is a COMPLETE homeschool planner with sections for <i>Curriculum Planning</i>, marking <i>Attendance</i> (if your state requires that you keep it), recording a list of <i>Books Read This Year</i>, and tracking <i>Yearly Goals</i>, <i>First Semester Goals</i>, and <i>Second Semester Goals</i> for each child. There is space for you to plan and track goals for your children in the following categories: Educational, Spiritual, Physical, Personal Talents, Life Skills, Financial, and Relational. This is simply invaluable to me as we assess where we've been, where we'd like our children to be, and how we are going to help them get there. What a great thing to be able to look back on and refer to for years to come.<br />
<br />
Did I mention that the <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b></span></i> <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Planner</b></span> is HUGE? It is chock-full of forms and charts that homeschooling mamas NEED to make school days run smoothly. BUT even more than that, it is interspersed with encouragment and inspiration in the form of <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hey, Mama<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b></span></i> devotions written by my friend, Gena, that remind me of my homeschool purpose and GOD's provision and help me to persevere in the calling as I walk out my faith. They help keep me sane and remind me that GOD loves me and mine and has a perfect plan for all of our days. I don't know about you, but it sure is good for me to be reminded to model PEACE and JOY and totally rely on GOD to get me through each and every day. Gena comes right alongside where I am and picks me up with her reminders that I am not alone. Do you ever need those affirmations in your homeschool? Oh, boy, I know I do.<br />

<br />
There's an old saying about <i>a boy and his dog</i>, but there's definitely something to be said about <i>a man and his dog</i> as well. The concepts of grief, hope, faith, and redemption are explored through the eyes of widower Joe Bigler (portrayed by Corbin Bernsen) with the help of a stray dog that shows up seemingly out of nowhere in <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Life-With-Dog-DVD/101161291" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Life With Dog</b></span></a> from <a href="https://www.millcreekent.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Mill Creek Entertainment</b></span></a>. "Dog" arrives just in time to help save Joe from himself and proves to be a loyal, if quiet, companion as Joe seeks to find justice in the unexplained death of his wife, Alice (portrayed by Marilu Henner).<br />
<br />
The movie opens at the scene of a hit-and-run traffic accident with a broken bicycle laying in the middle of the road where we soon find out that Joe's wife of 43 years, Alice, was killed. Grief takes many forms. Joe locks himself inside his home with memories of Alice and tries to shut out the rest of the world -- including his daughter and grandson. He is sad and bitter and trying to make sense of the GOD whom Alice loved. As his final act of love, Joe gently tends to Alice's prized roses and spends time in her garden. This is exactly the place that Dog shows up and makes himself at home with Joe. Where Joe has spent evenings "chatting" with Alice, he now turns his attention to Dog and a friendship begins.<br />
<br />
There are many unanswered questions surrounding the accident that claimed Alice's life and Joe sets out to find what really happened on the day of her death. He is eaten up with guilt because he talked to her moments before she was killed and asked her to come home and help him find something lost. He does not know how to offer himself grace because he has never offered it to anyone else. Because Dog becomes a faithful companion and walks beside Joe no matter what, Joe begins to realize that he can forgive and offer love.<br />

Grief leads Joe to make some very strange decisions and he must face the consequences of those decisions one by one. In the end, Joe learns to forgive others and himself. He begins to see the world around him through the faith of his family and experiences that hope personally so that he can claim that faith as his own. Joe finds redemption and offers it to the man who killed his wife. He understands LOVE in a new way and grasps the LOVE of the FATHER anew.</div>

Y'all . . . I am going to be a grandmother and I am absolutely thrilled<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span> I am just so excited about the sweet little boy that we will meet later this summer. I cannot wait to begin cuddling Percy close and reading books with him all snuggled up beside me. Because I want to make sure and teach our sweet boy that <i>NOTHING</i> can separate us from GOD's love (Romans 8:38-39), the very first book that I will be gifting him is <a href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/natalee-creech/nothing/9780824957032/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Nothing</span></i> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">by Natalee Creech</span></b></a>. There is no book more perfect for him than this beautifully illustrated picture book from <a href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: 400;" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group</b></span></a>. Natalee's words and Joseph Cowman's pictures are quite a combo.<br />
<br />
A great way to bring Scripture to life, the illustrations are gorgeous and the rhyming verse rolls off your tongue with a sing-song lilt. This combination makes it fun to read, fun to hear, and fun to look at together. But even better? It is exciting to share just how much GOD loves each and every one of us and to make sure that young and old alike realize that NOTHING -- absolutely NOTHING -- can separate you from GOD's love. That's the message that I want to make sure is taught at home, at church, in life -- and I know you do, too.<br />

Although it has been written for children ages 4 - 7, <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><i>Nothing</i></b></span> is the perfect book for children of all ages. The preschoolers and children at church loved it, the middle schoolers at church <i>tolerated</i> it when I read it to them (they really loved it, but they are too cool to own up to that), and every adult that I've shared it with has fallen immediately in love. Mommas all want their very own copy to share with their little loves at home and I know why. Isn't this book a gorgeous one to add to your home library?<br />

So here's the super-fun part for me . . . my daughter will be home in just a few weeks and we are planning a baby shower to honor her and welcome baby Percy. She has chosen an adventure theme for his nursery and <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><i>Nothing</i></b></span> is the perfect complement to that. No matter the adventure, no matter where you roam, there is nothing that can separate you from GOD's love. Guests have been invited to bring a book (well-loved or brand-new) to our sweet boy as a constant reminder that he is so very loved and cherished. I will be writing a blessing in the front cover of my copy of <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><i>Nothing</i></b></span> and gifting it to Percy. It is my prayer that he will always know that even if <i>"he hopped on a train and rode it all night, boarded a plane for an overseas flight, soared in a rocket past planets in space," </i>he could never <i>"outdistance GOD's LOVE and GOD's GRACE"</i>.<br />

More than anything else, I want our boy to know the power of GOD's love for him. This life will hold adventures galore, but our GOD will hold him forevermore. That's what I want to impress most upon his heart and <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><i>Nothing</i></b></span> is a great way to begin.<br />

<b style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>Nothing </i></b>is a delightful book (32-pages) and illustrates scripture in such a beautiful way. You need a copy of your very own. The jacketed hardcover will prove durable for little hands to hold and love for years to come. The bright pictures quickly draw you into the story and I am confident that this will be a well-loved read for my sweet Percy.

Senior year is crazy busy and making sure that your students are ready for college or the work force is high priority for any homeschool family. At this point in the game, we are dotting the <i>Is</i> and crossing the <i>Ts</i> in an effort to confirm that the transcript is correct and in order. We received a 3-month subscription to <a href="https://study.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Study.com</b></span></a> in order to see for ourselves how their <a href="https://study.com/clep/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;"><b>CLEP</b></span></a> and <a href="https://study.com/dsst/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>DSST</b></span></a> materials might benefit us. We are fond of resources that my daughter can use independently and <span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Study.com</b></span> fits that perfectly. The neat thing about these classes is that they can be used as full study courses or they can be used as short refresher courses -- and best of all, they can be used to earn college credit. This is a huge benefit to us right now because my daughter is considering taking a semester off of formal school work and postponing her college entrance until January. I like knowing that there is an option that would keep her involved in study <i>on her own terms</i> while she contemplates what her future will look like. In addition, there are almost 140 online courses to help students fall in love with learning.<br />
<br />
When you first log into <span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Study.com</b></span> the screen opens to your dashboard. The dashboard allows you to choose the coursework you are interested in, shows you the courses you are currently enrolled in, offers a log of recent activity (so that you can easily find your place any time you log in), and lists your goals for the week. After choosing courses, they are immediately available on the dashboard so that you can begin study. If you aren’t sure where to start, you can browse their libraries of classes and resources. My daughter's life goal is to become a deaf education interpreter and she has spent the last two years training under a deaf educator so that she is fluent in ASL. The ASL Flashcards offered great practice for quick recall, but she was especially excited to find all of the Deaf Education resources available to her. <i>Teaching Strategies for Deaf Education</i>, <i>The Deaf Community: History & Culture</i>, and <i>The History of American Sign Language </i>were most intriguing because they helped her to even better understand her calling. Course notes, organized by lesson, are conveniently stored in one place and there are both video-based lessons and text-based lessons.<br />
<br />
There are over 30 CLEP courses and they offer more than just test prep. The website first explains how the CLEP process works and provides thorough lessons with flash cards to study. Not only is this beneficial for my daughter, but my college sophomore son can utilize these courses, as well. He plans to take chemistry next fall and the chemistry lessons here can be used as summer preparation before the course or they can even assist him in testing out of class altogether. It is really up to him. CLEP courses offer 15-20 hours of actual lessons and there are additional flashcards and practice tests available. If my son chooses to make the effort, he can spend a few hours a week studying and complete the entire exam material by the end of the summer.<br />
<br />
There is a placement test available to help him determine what he already knows. This way he can study just what he needs to freshen up on from his high school chemistry class. If he misses a question on the placement test, the correct answer is revealed before he moves forward to the next question. This is a constructive win/win.<br />

For purposes of review, my daughter chose to study the DSST Course titled <i>Introduction to Communication 101: Public Speaking</i>. To begin study, she simply logged in and clicked on the course. She was able to set her goals about the pace that she would complete the course and had the option to set up text or email reminders. She knew immediately how many lessons made up the course and how long each one should take her to finish. It helps her to see the end goal at the beginning as it provides motivation to keep going. </div>

<i>Public Speaking</i> consists of 17 Chapters. The chapters are divided into 119 lessons. Each lesson contains a short video (roughly 3 - 7 minutes each) and has a 5 question quiz to test comprehension. This quiz can be taken immediately after viewing the video or you can print it as a worksheet to study. Depending on the lesson, my daughter did it both ways.<br />

There is a 30 question practice exam at the conclusion of each chapter. The course teaches speech preparation -- how to research and write a speech and how to make it fit properly in every situation -- and speech delivery. The speech delivery includes stress management and practice techniques so students will be ready in any situation that they are called upon to give a speech. In addition to the videos, there is a word-for-word transcript provided which is perfect for taking notes.<br />

If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, then it will come as no surprise to you that history is my favorite. I look forward to reading, studying, and talking about historical events and the importance of all things history with my family each year as part of our schoolwork and aim to make it relevant to daily life. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review the <a href="https://pathwaytoliberty.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Pathway to Liberty Homeschool Curriculum</span></b></a> and to choose the topic that would most benefit my Senior. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><br />
</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pathway to Liberty</b></span> offers intensive study in <i>Universal History Year 1)</i>, <i>The Middle Ages (Year 2)</i>, <i>US History (Year 3)</i>, and <i>World History (Year 4). </i>After perusing the website and discussing together,<i> </i>my daughter and I chose to dive into <a href="http://pathwaytoliberty.com/our-curriculum/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Pathway to Liberty's History Curriculum</b></span></a> with a study of <a href="https://pathwaytoliberty.com/how-to-pick-your-curriculum-year-3/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>US History</b></span></a>. We were in agreement that we had covered the other histories quite sufficiently throughout her high school years and thought that a discourse on American liberty would be the perfect way to end the year. I truly believe that this is an instrumental foundation that must be studied over and over again. I want to make sure that my daughter knows the truth about the history of our country as we are faced with the potential re-writing of historical events in the years to come. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Written by a homeschool momma who has been-there/done-that, the entire curriculum is designed to meet students right where they are and bring them to where they should be. As a home educator for over 20 years, Jayme McCullough found history curriculum to be lacking in truth and substance and decided to make a change that would benefit her sons. Lucky for us, she developed <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pathway to Liberty</b></span> and offers to share her extensive knowledge with others. As a result of teaching her own children, she knows what works and what doesn't work. Early levels are more teacher-intensive than the high school level. My daughter was able to follow along and progress at her own pace with very limited assistance needed from me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We began with U.S. History Year 3/Level 4. The Year simply designates the particular history to be studied. You do not have to study these in order, but students will receive a great benefit if you can. The Level designates the grade level and is written accordingly. Level 4 is used for 10th - 12th grades. The beauty of this is that if you have multiple students in your homeschool, you can use the same year with different levels to teach collectively. When all four of my children were in school at the same time, this was exactly the type of curriculum that I preferred. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For review purposes, we received the following:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>U.S. History Student Guide -- 297-pages, laminated cardstock cover with a spiral comb binding. The Student Guide contains 26 weeks of lessons. Each week has 4 lessons and these lessons can be completed in 20 minutes to an hour. </li>
<li>U.S. History Teacher Guide - 231-pages, laminated cardstock cover with a spiral comb binding. The Teacher Guide directly corresponds to the Student Guide but includes the correct answers and teaching helps.</li>
<li><i>The Chain of Liberty: Do Men Have a Right to Think for Themselves?</i> book -- 172-pages, softcover. This book contains 13 chapters that lay out the founding principles of the United States through a chronological timeline documenting mankind from slavery to freedom. I have found this book to be just as interesting as my daughter has. It is a marvelous read for us all.</li>
<li><i>The Chain of Liberty: Do Men Have a Right to Think for Themselves?</i> Study Guide -- 98-pages, softcover. The Study Guide offers corresponding questions for each of the 13 chapters in the book with correct answers found in the back of the Guide.</li>
</ul>
<div>
In addition to these resources, we used several other books and made extensive use of videos and materials online as directed within the Study Guide. Additional books needed for Level 4 are the Bible, Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary (available online), <i>The Light & Glory</i>, <i>The Bible & the Constitution: A Primer of American Liberty</i>, <i>Teaching & Learning America's Christian History</i>, <i>Christian History of the Constitution</i>, <i>Boys of '76</i>, and <i>From Sea to Shining Sea</i>. Other recommended (but not required) titles are <i>The Church in History</i>, <i>Stories of the Pilgrims</i>, <i>The Story of Liberty</i>, <i>Trial & Triumph: Stories from Church History</i>, <i>Streams of Civilizations Volume 2: Cultures in Conflict Since the Reformation</i>, and <i>Forty Acres and Maybe a Mule</i>. We already owned quite a few of these. Others were available from our library. <br />
<br />
My daughter really enjoyed watching YouTube videos as part of most lessons. She was excited to find links to help bring history to life within the pages of her textbook and I liked that she was being directed to research multiple sources of information. This helps prepare her for next year's college classes.</div>

With an immersive approach to study, <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pathway to Liberty</b></span> offers history written from a Biblical worldview. Each week students are directed to write out the Scripture, Principle, and Leading Idea that they will be studying. I absolutely LOVE that we begin with GOD's Word. Ample opportunities are provided for writing that aid students in reasoning skills and relating what they are learning to others. It is not enough to merely read the pages assigned. Students must also be able to process what they've read and write about it in such a way that others can understand. I like this. </div>

Each week's series of lessons is divided in the same basic way. My daughter began by reading through the Weekly Overview and Teaching Objectives, going over the Scripture, Principle, and Leading Idea, and copying those into her notebook. She then looked up the daily lesson on the chart provided and followed along as directed. For example, in Week 7, Lesson 1 she is learning about John Locke, Charles de Montesquieu, and William Blackstone. She first visited the <i>All About Philosophy</i> website and read the article suggested (Shown below). After that, she read through the pages assigned in T<i>eaching & Learning America's Christian History</i> and began to work on a provided chart in which she compared Locke, de Montesquieu, and Blackstone. </div>

When she had completed her comparison chart, we spent a few minutes discussing each of the men and looking at the similarities from their preaching and philosphies. This assignment was followed by a research assignment in which my daughter was instructed to choose a preacher or philosopher and 3-5 topics to research about her choice. She will spend other days this week learning about the childhood, calling, and preaching of William Blackstone -- and will also have the chance to see exactly how GOD used Blackstone to advance HIS kingdom. Books and websites are included in the Student Guide to give her a starting point for her research and there is a suggested outline with worksheet for her to use to make sure that she gathers enough information to write her paper. Truly everything she needs is right here at her fingertips which makes <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pathway to Liberty</b></span> user-friendly for us both.<br />

She placed second in Mixed Media. There was no sculpture category. The supercool factor is that it is beautiful and functional.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am working on the very last transcript for Long Leaf Academy <i>(how is that even possible?)</i>, so I was happy to get my hands on <a href="https://everyday-education.com/product/transcripts/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b><i>Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler's Guide to High School Paperwork</i></b></span></a> by Janice Campbell from <a href="https://everyday-education.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Everyday Education</b></span></a>. I always enjoy looking at different approaches so that I can best highlight the individual education that my children have received through home schooling. I especially appreciate Janice's reminder to make time for the things that matter. This has been our number one goal throughout the years and we have worked to make sure that each of our children has been introduced to a variety of things and allowed ample opportunity to explore what makes them happy as they strive to realize GOD's purpose and calling on their lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Individuality is important and I want to make sure that my daughter's transcript reflects her personality, as well as her educational journey. Her transcript, like her educational career, is not the same as her older sisters' and brother's transcripts. Her interests were different than theirs and our approach to school was different for her, so her transcript must be different as well. I also realize that even though her transcript is <u>her individual record</u>, it needs to be similar in form and function to the transcripts of other graduates for purposes of college entrance. <span style="color: blue;"><b><i>Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler's Guide to High School Paperwork </i></b></span>helps me to do just this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b style="color: blue;"><i>Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler's Guide to High School Paperwork</i></b> is a 138-page eBook that is chock-full of helps, advice, encouragment, and printables to make the world of high school easier for the homeschool mom to navigate. Divided into six parts, it explains exactly what a transcipt is, who needs one and why, and how to put a transcript together that will best benefit your student. The eBook lays out HOW to plan for high school and beyond, offers study strategies and skills that will prepare students for college, trades, and/or the workforce, and even explains how to set up a family system to easily keep high school records. Simple, but effective goals help organize you now for later -- and sharing these with your high schoolers will help them learn to help themselves. </div>

<span style="color: blue; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler's Guide to High School Paperwork </span>explains grading systems and scales, shares how to calculate a GPA, how to assign credit to courses and classwork completed, and gives printables to walk you through it all. Janice even understands the hearts of unschooling moms and "chronically relaxed" homeschoolers and offers her Check-Off Transcript to help you lay out the organization of where you have been, where you want to be, and/or how to create a portfolio of academic achievement. I found this section to be very encouraging and I know that you will, too, since each of our homeschooling environments is unique to our families. The Check-Off Transcript was helpful to me in making sure that we have covered all of the basics for my girl. Using it as a worksheet gave my daughter and I an opportunity to sit and discuss and <i>remember</i> everything that she has studied over the course of her high school caareer. I will make sure to include it all on her official transcipt, but I will treasure our time together reminiscing even more.</div>

There are very specific parameters shared so that you know exactly HOW to make your transcript and there is information given to help you decide the best names for the classes your child has taken. I really like the section titled <i>Naming Classes</i> as it helps me to realize the importance of <b><u>all</u></b> educational experiences and reminds me to structure informal learning experiences so that they can be counted as credits earned. There are Subject Worksheets included for every subject and they have guides that help you know what life experiences you could/should include as you classify courses into Carnegie units. I printed the Fine Arts Subject Worksheet so that we could begin to organize four years worth of attended performances. Pulling out the calendar and sorting through our collection of playbills has brought a flood of memories. There is more than enough real-life here to award a credit for Theatre.<br />

The transcript information is invaluable in <span style="color: blue; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;">Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler's Guide to High School Paperwork</span> but the additional encouragement offered makes this a must-read/must-have resource. The <i>Skills and Habits to Cultivate in High School</i> section explains the importance of communication skills, writing basics, and learning MLA and APA citations. It also discusses organization, time management, and test taking skills. Cultivating these skills and habits early help students as they transition to college. Professor Carol Reynolds shares <i>Seven Strategies for a Successful First Year at College</i> and this section should be required reading for EVERY high school student everywhere. It discusses the importance of rest, how to deal with the "unfair" of life, advises students that deadlines in college are truly deadlines -- unlike what they might have experienced in the homeschool environment -- and discusses the importance of attending class and giving your all. This is perfect for helping our students envision college life and begin to strategize for success.</div>

As important as academics are, there are many other things that our students can be doing during high school that will help impact them [and others] later in life. <i>Six Things Your Teen Can Do While Homeschooling High School</i> reminds us all of the many opportunities to serve and grow that homeschooling affords our children and families. You know, mom, we are privileged to love on some phenomenal kids and I can think of no better way for us to prepare them for life than to allow them to discover their talents and passions now. Whether it be through early college credit, volunteering within the community, or pursuing special interests and travel, the world awaits and we can help our teens discover fully who GOD has intended for them to be. </div>

I am so proud of these girls. They have spent years hiding GOD's Word deep in their hearts. Two received plaques for successfully completing 4 years of Student Bible Drill and my girl received the 6-year Student Bible Drill plate, the 9-year Bible Drill plate, and the Study Bible for completing 9 years of Bible Drill. What a wonderful accomplishment<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span><br />

We are huge fans of <a href="http://iew.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW)</b></span></a> and we fell in love with their <span style="color: #38761d;"><b style="color: #38761d;"><a href="https://iew.com/FIX" rel="nofollow" style="color: #38761d;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">Fix It<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">! </span>Grammar</span></a> </b></span><span style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="color: black; font-weight: 400;"><span style="color: #38761d;"> </span>program years ago.<span style="color: #38761d;"> </span></span><span style="color: #38761d;">Fix It</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span><span style="color: #38761d;"> Grammar </span></b></span>offers a complete grammar program perfect for use by students in 3rd grade and up. We were first introduced to it when my youngest children were in 8th and 10th grades and we have continued using it through the years. My "baby" is finishing her senior year now and we were pleased to be chosen to review <a href="https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it-grammar-chanticleer-student-book-5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Fix It<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span> Grammar: Chanticleer [Book 5]</b></span></a> this semester. Way back when we first starting using <b style="color: #38761d;">Fix It<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></b>, she thought it was<i> </i>a great way to "do" grammar because she could visualize the parts of speech and understand the function of each. I am pleased to share that she still feels that way.<br />

<br />
What we like most about the <b style="color: #38761d;">Fix It! Grammar</b> program is that it really makes it easy to cover the basics of language arts in a laid back way. The lessons are short and sweet, but packed with a punch. Students focus on just one or two sentences taken straight from classic literature. What we are enjoying most about <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Chanticleer [Book 5]</b></span> is that it begins right with the skills we left off with in earlier <b style="color: #38761d;">Fix It!</b> books and ups the challenge as it calls on students to delve deeper into sentence structure, punctuation rules, and the finer points of great writing. We chose this particular book because it is an abridged version of one of the stories from <i>The Canterbury Tales</i> -- one of our favorite pieces of literature. <i>(Our dog is even named after the author, Geoffrey Chaucer. Neat, right?) </i>"The Nun's Priest Tale" is a complex and descriptive writing so it is perfect for my daughter to use to practice her editing skills now as she will be in college next year.<br />
<br />
There are six grammar books in the entire <span style="color: #38761d; font-weight: bold;">Fix-It<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span> Series</span><span style="color: #38761d;">.</span> You can start at the beginning with Book 1 or begin in whichever book best meets your student's specific needs. If you are unsure, you'll want to have your student(s) take the <a href="http://iew.com/sites/default/files/page/fileattachment/Fix_It_Placement_Test.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Placement Test</a> provided. <b style="color: #0b5394;">IEW</b> suggests that if you are still unsure of exactly which level would be best for your student after taking the placement test, start with the lower of the two levels. Addtional help can be found by attending a free <a href="http://iew.com/events-classes/webinars/intro-to-fix-it-grammar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Webinar</a> available. It is quite helpful in explaining the step-by-step process of <b style="color: #38761d;">Fix-It<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span> Grammar. </b>This is just further confirmation that all of the <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>IEW</b></span> curriculum is structured to be a <i>tool</i> for the teacher. I appreciate that <b style="color: #0b5394;">IEW</b> realizes there is no cookie cutter method of teaching because there are no cookie cutter students and that they encourage me to decide what is best for <i>my</i> child.<br />
<br />
Each book level is a stand-alone resource that takes students through an individual story -- one or two sentences at a time. Each lesson is designed to take about 15 minutes per day. We have found this to be the perfect amount of time. It allows us to start and finish in a timely manner without too much stress. Senior year brings with it quite a demand on time and talent, so I appreciate the design of the curriculum. There are four lessons a week over the course of 33 weeks that focus on parts of speech, sentence types, and punctuation through grammar notations, but also teaches vocabulary (the bold words found in the sentences), style, and self-editing skills using the proper editing marks. This works because students are editing daily so they develop the practice of self-editing everything they write.<br />

Grammar: Chanticleer [Book 5] (Teacher's Manual)</b></span></a> (216 pages of instruction plus a reference Glossary--pictured below) and <a href="https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it-grammar-chanticleer-student-book-5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Fix It<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span> Grammar: Chanticleer [Book 5] (Student Book)</b></span></a> (70 pages of lessons plus Grammar Cards to be used each week and the reference Glossary). Both books are coil-bound, softcover and give step-by-step instructions for use. The Teacher's Manual also includes instructions on receiving a free download of the Student Book, the <i>Mastery Learning</i> e-audio, and the <i>But, but, but . . . What about Grammar?</i> e-audio. Permission is given for parents to print copies of the student e-book as needed to use within your immediate family. This is a win-win for us all.<br />

When we first began using <b style="color: #38761d;">Fix-It! Grammar</b> we would sit down at the kitchen table together and my children would take turns reading the sentence(s) for the day's lesson aloud. We would discuss the bolded vocabulary word in each sentence and discuss and define it in the context of the sentence. They would each write the word and the definition that best fit the situation into a Vocabulary section of their notebooks. I would then read over the instructions from the Teacher's Manual (pictured below) and they would "fix" the sentences accordingly. This really worked very well for us in a family-learning setting and I would encourage you to consider how you might make it work in your family environment, as well. I definitely miss those days now that my daughter is the only one left in our homeschool.<br />

As a Senior, our approach is different. We still begin together and I read over the initial instructions for each day's lesson. We discuss the vocabulary words given and talk about the other words that may not be used as often today <i>(it <b><u>IS</u></b> Chaucer after all)</i>, and she makes corrections, inserts grammar notations, and edits according to instructions given. Some days she checks her own work against the Teacher's Manual and some days I check her work. Either way we are able to discuss her thought process and make sure that it matches up properly with the instructions given and answers provided. If it does not, we are able to explore a little further together to make sure that she thoroughly understands each concept. At the end of the week, she does a complete rewrite of the sentences she has edited daily and we discuss those.<br />

Both the Teacher's Manual and the Student Book are laid out in the exact same manner so it is easy to use the two together. There are teacher's notes that help you help your students as they work through the lessons. It is easy to explain their mistakes using the teacher's notes and leading questions provided. We are finding this to be another excellent resource for review. I am confident that my daughter is going to be ready for college classes in the Fall as a result of the use of this excellent curriculum.<br />

I am enjoying this reading journey for 2019. I've finished three more books in the month of March. It was a super busy month with Azalea Court and Prom, so I'm happy with my completed reads. I'm still right on track to finish 52 total books this year.</div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Drive Thru History® “Acts to Revelation”</b> </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">is an</span><span style="color: #0b5394;"> 1</span>8-part miniseries (3 DVDs) that begins right where the last miniseries ended, but stands alone to make history
come alive in a new way. The previous miniseries, <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><i>The Gospels</i></b></span>, chronicled the life of JESUS f<span style="background-color: white;">rom the historical landscape surrounding the announcements that a SAVIOR is coming to HIS birth, life, ministry, and miracles. It was a most excellent teaching tool to learn about and celebrate all things JESUS. </span><b style="color: #0b5394;"> “Acts to Revelation”</b><span style="background-color: white;"> begins with the resurrection of JESUS and takes us on a journey throughout</span> the Mediterranean region looking at
the people, places, and events that launched the Christian faith. Over the course of more than NINE hours of mesmerizing video, we get a first-hand look at the world of the first Christians. (For example: I have read the account of Pentacost numerous times, but to watch it play out onscreen gave me chills. By the same token, "standing" nearby during the stoning of Stephen made my stomach churn and seeing John in exile on Patmos offers a new appreciation for the meaning of relationship.)</div>

Here are the logistics that I think you should know: Housed within a hardback cover (pictured above), the 3- DVD set includes a Study Guide broken down for each of the 18 episodes. The Study Guide contains a brief Summary of each episode, five Discussion Questions to help you grasp each episode (answers to these are found in the back of the guide), a Reading list that points to the biblical text for context of each episode, and a Side Road section that shares more detailed information about one of the places or events discussed in the given episode. Further logistics that you will find interesting are that the runtime for each episode is between 27-30 minutes long. This is perfect for a daily lesson and discussion. At then end of each video, you see the following message:</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">

Y'all . . . I cannot even begin to tell you how happy that makes my heart. THIS is what it is all about. Watch the video, enjoy the scenery, love the journey -- but READ YOUR COPY OF GOD'S WORD. Obviously, the target audience for the <b style="color: red;">Drive Thru History®</b> videos would be Christian families, but please, please, please feel free to share them with friends and family who may not yet know the grace and love JESUS. While your ENTIRE family will find something to enjoy in this set, middle schoolers and older students (adults included) will reap the most educational benefit from it. And please use it as an ADDITIONAL resource with your Bible right there, too. </div>

That said, let me tell you how <b style="color: #0b5394;">“Acts to Revelation” -- The World of the First Christians</b> is impacting me and my personal Bible study. We are big "series bingers" at my house and I began by watching through the videso on a "play all" setting. I wanted the big picture and knew that I could watch a few episodes at a time to get an overall look at the history of the New Testament. That completed, I knew that I would NEED to go back and watch at a slower pace with my Bible open and pen ready to take notes. From the very beginning when Dave Stotts (he's your tour guide on this journey) establishes the credibility of the primary source of the book of Acts by explaining that Luke was not only a historian, but also an eyewitness to some of the history himself, I was enthralled.<br />
<br />
I have taken tons of notes right on the pages of my Bible and I am constantly pushing pause to underline, highlight, and write something else down that I did not know or did not put together from my own reading. I love being able to SEE the Cenacle<i> (did YOU know that's what the Upper Room is called? I didn't.)</i> as I read about the 120 followers prayerfully awaiting for their next instructions. I <u>needed</u> to write notes about the birthday of Christianity—Pentecost — and wanted to add flames above the words when the followers of THE WAY began declaring the
words of GOD in their own tongues. May I boldly proclaim the gospel of JESUS right where it is least expected. May I wait CALMLY to hear from GOD just as those early Christians did.</div>

The Discussion questions make small group times so easy for me to put together and they encourage the students to listen carefully as we watch the videos in class. What I am most excited about, though, is that they are learning why the Bible matters. Thefast-paced design of the videos holds both their interest and their attention. They ASK to continue watching and they are LEARNING while they watch. <b style="color: red;">Drive Thru History®</b> makes GOD's WORD personal and that old Stevie McQueen jeep helps make it real. My kids now see the Bible in relevant terms and not just as some unappealing long ago text. That, my friends, is a win any day of the week in my book.</div>

Our homeschool is down to the very last student and she will be graduating from high school in May. It's hard to believe that we are reaching the end of home education after almost 25 years around the kitchen table. When my oldest daughter entered college years ago, she suggested that I make sure to include more math, more science, more grammar, and an entire course on "how to study" for her siblings. She realized that truy <i>"learning information to take a test is important, because there are no do-overs in college."</i> With a high school Senior and a college Sophomore, I am reminded that it is vital that we make sure all study skills are on point and I welcomed the <a href="http://www.studyskillssystem.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Victus Study Skills System</b></span></a> as a refresher course for my "baby" this year. The <a href="https://www.studyskillssystem.org/products/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">products</a> range from primary to college grade levels and we have found them to be an excellent addition to our curriculum.<br />
<br />
Designed to make a huge impact in a short amount of time, the <b><span style="color: #783f04;">Victus Study Skills System</span></b> truly does help to equip your student for success. Both the <a href="http://www.studyskillssystem.org/products/" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">Teacher Edition</span></a> and the <a href="http://www.studyskillssystem.org/products/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #38761d; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">College/Career Student Workbook</a> work hand in hand to provide the strategy for teaching students how to learn and the <a href="https://www.studyskillssystem.org/products/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Student Planner</b></span></a> helps students determine their priorities and set goals for the year. The 81-page <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Teacher Edition</b></span> was written to be used with middle and high school students, but the addition of the <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>College/Career Workbook</b></span> (76-pages) to the <span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Victus</b></span> family has offered a more in-depth approach to study that helps students bridge the gap from high school to college life. The <i>Listening and Participation Assessment</i> has helped my daughter become more focused in her daily tasks which in turn helps her to be more focused on her educational tasks -- and the <i>Test Preparation</i> section has helped her to become more of an active learner.<br />

Providing basic information on organization, goal-setting, and finding life purpose, the <span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Victus Study Skills System </b></span>encourages students to THINK as it equips them for success in academics and in life. The system consists of softcover, spiral-bound workbooks and folded <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Teacher Supplements</b></span> divided into ten lessons for students of all ages <i>(with more teacher input required in the earlier grades). </i> A systematic approach to learning, <span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Victus Study Skills</b></span> offers strategic steps and specific tools to help students set goals and accomplish tasks. One of the great benefits of this system is that you can utilize the resources with students of all ages at the same time. Each Supplement explains how to instruct students at a given level and suggests activities that will help develop lifelong learners.<br />

The Foundational Cornerstones in the <b style="color: #783f04;">Victus Study Skills System </b>help students figure out<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<ol>
<li>Where they are now (Study Habits, Learning Strengths)</li>
<li>Where they want to be (Mission), <i>and</i></li>
<li>How they get there (Time Management, Organization, Study Environment, PQRST, Efficient Reading, Listening, Note Taking, Test Taking, Review)</li>

My daughter and I spent about an hour on each formal lesson, but we have spent much more time discussing the information contained in the lessons as she considers her options for college over the next few years. The maturity that I have seen in her has been impressive and I've enjoyed watching as she becomes more organized and aware. As a result of these discussions, she has even decided that she is ready to move out-of-state to pursue her dream of becoming an ASL Educational Interpreter.<br />
<br />
One of her very favorite parts of the <b style="color: #783f04;">Victus Study Skills System</b> has been the 123-page <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Student Planner</b></span>. I admit that she gets her love of a great planner honestly, and this planner is top-notch. I like that it begins by having students think about and write out their very own Mission Statement and take an honest look at the values they hold dear. It teaches the importance of setting Objectives, developing an Action Plan to meet those objectives, and prioritizing a daily to-do list. After they walk through this, students find an undated weekly calendar filled with LARGE squares for each day of the week AND a space to list their weekly to-dos and priorities. These pages include inspiring and encouraging quotes and even list odd facts that just add a spark of fun. There is space for cultivating a Life Plan and keeping records of yearly grades. It really is a perfect planner.<br />

My eldest daughter graduated with her Masters of Occupational Therapy last year, but she maintains that her biggest hurdle in college was feeling confident when it was time to take a test. She had a tendency to psych herself out on test days. My prayer is that I have better prepared her siblings with an arsenal of test-taking skills and strategies. The <b style="color: #783f04;">Victus Study Skills System </b>is a good tool to do just that. The testing strategies and test formulas offered present valuable practice for improving grades and taking the stress out of the many tests that they will all face in school and in life.<br />

I love to read and I love to share great books with my friends and family. Truly, one of my favorite things to do is to sit in "my" chair in the living room with a book in my hands. It is even more special to me if the ones that I love are sitting nearby with a book in their hands as well. My husband and I are readers who have intentionally raised readers. Books have the power to take you to places that you never imagined you could go -- and I have loved travelling back through time to have a first-hand look at several stories from the Bible with <a href="https://www.secretofthehiddenscrolls.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls</b></span></a> series from <a href="https://www.worthykidsworld.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group</b></span></a>.</div>

You might remember that I was first introduced to these sweet chapter books last year at the beginning of school and I told you that they were perfect for early readers to read alone, but even more fun to use as read-alouds for your entire family. I still think that's true. These books are targeted for children ages 6 - 9 on a 1st - 3rd grade reading level, but I just have to tell you that I really enjoy reading them for myself -- and I'm far from that age range. It is quite interesting to hear about the work of famous archeologist, Great-Uncle Solomon, as he shares his greatest treasure with the children -- ancient Hidden Scrolls that prove to be even better than a pile of gold. The Hidden Scrolls take the children on a journey of epic proportions</div>

What I especially like is that these books take you deep into Bible times through an imaginative time travel adventure. Last year I jumped right into the creation of the world <i>(Book #1)</i> and then helped line up the animals as they were loading onto Noah's Ark <i>(Book #2)</i>. This year I've stepped over icky frogs and walked through the Red Sea on dry ground following Moses to the Promised Land <i>(Book #3)</i> and hidden at Rahab's house and seen the walls of Jericho come tumbling down with Joshua <i>(Book #4)</i>. It's most wonderful to be a part of the escapades of Peter and Mary (the brother and sister team who take us along on their adventures) and their pet dog, Hank as we are transported right into the middle of GOD's Word. <span style="color: red;"><b>The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls</b></span> series puts you right into the center of the action of the stories from the Bible as you work to solve the secrets found on each new scroll. Kids will enjoy trying to "crack the code" found on the mysterious scrolls for each book and will love digging into the adventure bag that helps solve the mystery. Parents will love that each book ends by telling you exactly where in the Bible you can find the people, places, and events that have taken place in your reading. Perfect, huh? </div>

Book #3 begins as 9-year-old Peter and 10-year-old Mary await the call of the Hidden Scrolls. It doesn't take long for the lion to roar and transport the children to the deserts of Egypt. The children explore pyramids and meet a princess and are invited to stay in the home of Pharaoh. As luck would have it, this gives them a front row seat to the arrival of Moses and Aaron as they implore Pharaoh to let GOD's people go. The plagues come to life as you read the story. It is simply amazing.</div>

Book #4 finds the children returning on another quest of the Hidden Scrolls. They first learn that Great-Uncle Solomon was not always an archeologist and that he spent some time as a spy with the International Spy Agency. They learn that GOD had a secret name that HE revealed to Moses at the burning bush and they are fascinated. When they hear the call of the lion's roar, Peter and Mary add some spy equipment to their adventure bag and head out, landing right in the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle. On this adventure, they join Caleb as he spies on Jericho and are present when the walls begin to crumble. <br />

As always, these books are a fascinating explanation of Scripture and I can't wait to share them with the children in my life. Each of these books offers a fresh perspective on GOD's Word and make it easy for children of all ages to understand that the BIBLE is relevant to all of us all of the time.

<br />
Did you know that there is a brand new G.A. Henty audio adventure from <a href="https://www.livetheadventureclub.com/home/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Heirloom Audio</b></span></a> and it just may be my favorite one yet? <a href="http://www.forthetemplehenty.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b><i>FOR THE TEMPLE</i></b></span></a> is a fascinating listen that will have you anxiously awaiting what comes next. There's a little bit of everything packed in this story -- travel, romance, war, peace, and JESUS. What could be better? Voiced by a host of family favorites like Brian Blessed, Cathy Sara, and George Blagden, the 2 1/2 hour production will fly by as you join in the adventure and learn to follow the WAY. It makes for the perfect car ride companion -- and there's even a Study Guide to help you turn it into a more in-depth learning tool at home.<br />
<br />
You know how I know? I recently enjoyed the rare occasion of being in my vehicle all by myself -- weird, right? Both of my parents had separate surgeries out-of-town, so I spent a few days riding up and down the interstate alone. I knew from our past experiences with <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Heirloom</b></span> audio theatre that <span style="color: #351c75;"><b><i>For The Temple</i></b></span> would keep me interested and awake in the wee hours of the morning drive, and I was absolutely not disappointed. I had no idea what this story was about before I put it into my CD player and turned it on, so I hung onto every word from each scene as the story of a young man named John unfolded.<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #351c75;"><i>For The Temple</i></b> began quietly enough with the introduction of John (the son of a vineyard owner who is content with growing the best grapes around and producing the finest wine possible) and Mary (the girl who is slated to be his wife) working the grapevines and preparing for harvest together. It quickly intensified when mischeivous Mary tricks John into an "easy" boat ride on the Sea of Galilee as a storm brews. Interestingly enough, as the storm raged on John and Mary, rain poured down on my vehicle as I drove so I felt like I was right in the middle of the Sea of Galilee with them. As the rain beat down outside, I turned up the stereo and leaned into the storytelling of Mr. George (Henty). Through the providence of GOD's plan, John and Mary are rescued by Josephus who then invites John to join him for military training. This is a pivotal point in the young man's life as he realizes that indeed <i>"the time is coming when every Jew who can bear arms will be needed in the service of his country."</i><br />
<br />
John becomes quite the leader as the story continues and he tricks Roman soldiers, saves towns and cities, and fights when he must for the love of the Temple -- and home. The dark moments of history come to life around you as 3,000 Jewish people are crucified when they attempt to flee Roman invasion, but the light of JESUS shines as you hear testimony from Nicodemus about his late-night meeting with LOVE. It is amazing to take part in some of the very first church meetings and hear the Scripture taught from those early believers.<br />
<br />
I firmly believe that <b style="color: #351c75;"><i>For The Temple</i></b> should be required listening (and studying) for all students today. As I listened, I couldn't help but think of the political climate we now find ourselves in as compared to the evil of that day and time. It reaffirmed my commitment that we stand with Israel. In my opinion, this is an important piece of history that MUST be remembered. I'm sharing this CD set with my family, but not just for entertainment purposes. We must remember. We must learn. We must take a stand. Y'all, this one really is that important. That's why it is my very favorite.<br />

And did you know that <b style="color: #cc0000;">Heirloom Audio </b>offers a super-cool extra in the form of their <a href="https://www.livetheadventureclub.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="color: #e69138;">Live the Adventure Club</span></i></b></a>? It's an online masterpiece that includes bonus downloads for all of their audio theatre productions and gives you the opportunity to listen right along online. These digital components have included study guides and quizzes to go with each of their extraordinary adventures, as well as read-along scripts and resources to make your "listening" time an educational treasure. There are kid activities for each of the stories (coloring sheets, scavenger hunts, word searches) and daily devotions and articles for parents to use on this journey. It's a great community to be involved with and will greatly benefit your homeschool world.<br />
<br />
The 51-page Study Guide for <b style="color: #351c75;"><i>For The Temple</i></b> is available and it will help younger students really grasp the lessons in the storyline while it helps older students more deeply explore the history of the Zealots and learn more about the new followers of The WAY. The Study Guide aids students in understanding the literature behind the audiodrama. All of the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Heirloom Audio</b></span> dramas are based off of books by G.A. Henty and the Study Guide helps you find the connection between entertainment and education.<br />
<br />
Dividing each track of the CD into three main sections, the full-color Study Guide directs students to Listen Well, Think Further, and Define Words. <i>Listening Well</i> questions simply ask students what they've heard and makes sure they are hearing key points in the story. <i>Thinking Further</i> questions take things a step further by asking students to describe and compare what they are learning and require that students move beyond the surface and dig in to the lesson being taught. It offers map skill opportunities and a more in-depth study of things discussed on the CD. For example, students are encouraged to describe the armor worn by the common Roman foot soldier and draw a sketch of a Roman soldier in armor. To do this, they'll need to do independent research and explore history on their own. <i>Defining Words</i> offers vocabulary words to be learned and studied. There is also a book list included for older students to learn more about the destruction of Jerusalem and then, there's my favorite part, three Bible Studies that complement the production. That's what I love most about <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Heirloom Audio</b></span>.<br />

When our copy of <a href="http://www.zondervan.com/p/beloved-devotional/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><i><b>Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women</b></i></span></a> arrived from <a href="https://www.zondervan.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Zondervan</b></span></a>, my girl sat right down to dive into its pages. She read through the Introduction and nodded her head in agreement with the very first statement: <i>It's hard to be a young woman sometimes.</i> She <i>mm-hmmed</i> as she read about being bombarded with the messages of the world and trying to decide which ones should be filtered and which ones should be embraced. There were a few <i>"mom, listen to this"</i> moments and she made sure to read aloud to me the last sentence that reminded her that her identity matters to GOD and she is beloved by HIM. From the very first moment she held this beautiful book in her hands, she was enamored. So much so that she read the first few days of devotion and grabbed her Bible to underline some key verses. Y'all . . . THAT just makes my heart smile.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After she read through the first few days of devotions, my girl decided that she wanted to figure out what day of the year it actually was and start there. That was day 319 of 365, so she skipped right over and read about Elizabeth greeting her cousin Mary and John the Baptist leaping in utero. What a cool moment<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span> The direct intervention of the HOLY SPIRIT happened right then and my daughter was reminded that the same HOLY SPIRIT that was present when Mary arrived to visit Elizabeth lives inside of her. What an encouragment to know that when we feel lonely and discouraged, HE is there to encourage us and equip us to face the day -- no matter what this world tries to throw in our face.<br />

<br />
Although <span style="color: #a64d79;"><i><b>Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women</b></i></span> is written specifically for young women between the ages of 12 - 18, I firmly believe that it will be treasured by both younger and older girls/women, as well. Let me just be honest and say that this 50-year-old momma has enjoyed reading through the devotional, too. Looking to Rebekah as a great example of hospitality is good for the soul. I especially like that young women are being introduced to generosity and service to others and taught how to have an attitude of warmth and openness as they welcome others into their environment and offer hope in a world that can seem so hopeless. Isn't this what we want all of our daughters to learn? How better to learn to cultivate a spirit of hospitality than through the lives of women in GOD's Word?<br />

It makes my heart happy to share that she fell in love with a book that will point her towards the love that GOD has for her as she studies the lives of over 60 women found throughout GOD's Word. The 371-page hardcover book has been designed with young women in mind. Its pages are lovely to look at with the side borders of pink and rose and mauve flowers that spill over to the binding edge and the ribbon marker makes it easy for you to return to your specific place in the devotional each day. My Elisabeth moved her marker to Day 319 the very first day that she began reading and has continued moving it from there each morning.</div>

Each daily devotion begins with Scripture taken from the NIV translation of the Bible. The Bible verses are followed by a short relatable reading <i>(2-3 paragraphs, at most)</i> with three blank lines at the bottom of the page. The lines are perfect for writing notes on what's been read or things you might want to investigate further, answering questions that appear in the reading, or chronicling prayer requests and concerns. I really like that the women being introduced and discussed include a good mixture of famous characters <i>(women like Mary, Deborah, Hannah, and Abigail)</i> and obscure characters<i> (remember Zelophehad's daughters, Johosheba, and the Shunamite woman? They are all in here.)</i> and that the devotions cover portions from the entirety of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.<br />
