Literary Lessons from the LOTR – Teacher’s Edition

Though one goal of this study is to acquaint the student with Tolkien’s writings, the more important goal is that they learn literary analysis skills that will carry over to their studies of other works, and help develop their writing skills. There are chapter summaries/reviews, vocabulary exercises and quizzes, writing assignments and comprehension questions. But wait, there’s more, much more! With fifteen Unit Studies, the student will explore: Tolkien the Author and Creator of Middle Earth; Linguistics: Etymology and Philology; Setting: the World of Middle Earth; a Map Study; an introduction to ancient epics; Old English: Beowolf (2 Units); Genre: Fantasy as Literature; Poetry; Arthurian Romances (2 units); Unifying Elements: Theme & Motif; final research project. Optional extra units on Religious Elements, and Movies and the Classics. Has all answers to comprehension questions, quizes, tests, etc.

This course is flexible regarding the amount of parent/teacher input. Your student may work independently, however, the more input by the parent, the more benefit the student will gain.

Our 15yo son LOVED  this course!
Suitable for grades 7-12.

Jensen’s Grammar – This book has many things going for it. The lessons are simple and direct. The exercises constantly repeat what has been formerly taught. New ideas are approached incrementally in digestible form. The nature of the exercises forces the students to use what they have learned. In particular this is true with the formula sentences the students are required to produce almost immediately. This book is different. Yes, it is a lot of work, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in learning how to write. The total focus in this book is on the sentence. Grammar is a means, not an end.

by Frode Jensen $36.00

Originally published in 1940, this book has become a rare phenomenon, a “living” classic. It is the best and most successful guide to reading comprehension for the general reader. And now it has been completely rewritten and updated.

You are told about the various levels of reading and how to achieve them — from elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional reading, to speed reading, you learn how to pigeonhole a book, X-ray it, extract the author’s message, criticize. You are taught the different reading techniques for reading practical books, imaginative literature, plays, poetry, history, science and mathematics, philosophy and social science.

Finally, the authors offer a recommended reading list and supply reading tests whereby you can measure your own progress in reading skills, comprehension and speed.

If you desire education to be at your fingertips, then you will want this book.  An essential asset to the self learner’s library.
