Word Roots I/Pilgrim’s Progress
Prerequisites: none
Level: 5th-12th
Fees: $35 month/$15 semester copy fee
Materials
In this class we will be building vocabulary using an online program at home from Membean https://membean.com/. This is an interactive, personalized, robust program for building vocabulary. They recommend three 15-minute sessions per week. For about half the time in class we will study word roots and word history. The other half will be working through "Pilgrim's Progress." We will be looking at it from a literary view, building more vocabulary and looking at the symbolism and teachings. We will definitely uphold the Bible as the word of God and will reference it in the lessons some, but this is more of a literary look at Pilgrim and the Christian live rather than a theology study. This class is suitable for any student 5th grade and up. The homework should take less than or about an hour, plus the Membean time. I will be alternating years offering WR I and II. The Word Roots classes can be done in any order, but I do expect a slightly higher reading level in WR II.
