This is one of the low points in human history and is not an easy subject to approach. But many things can be learned from looking back at this horrific event that resulted in the extermination of 6 million Jews and millions of other individuals.
We will look at the Nazi party and the years leading up to the Holocaust so that we can understand the historical context of this time period.
Students will explore the human behavior of all individuals involved - from perpetrators to victims, as well as countless others that helped them.
We will attempt to approach this sensitive subject by connecting with testimonies of victims, exploring the thinking of the Nazi regime, and witnessing the unbelievable faith of many Jewish people impacted during these trials.
We will investigate the responsibilities we have to help create a more just, loving, and compassionate world.
Within this course, students will read The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, and the Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
Parents can choose to have this course be a core class (3-4 hours of homework per week) or as an elective (0-1 hours of homework per week). Both groups will have the same in-class experience but you can choose how much outside work you want your student to have.
*We will have a short period of time at the end of each class period for journaling to help transition back to normal activities.
Requirements:
Students must be able to process challenging topics such as brutality, death, and the sinful depravity of humankind though we will not focus solely on these.
In this course, we will examine the basics of the Christian faith to better understand why we believe what we believe. We will cover what doctrine and theology are, canonization of the Bible, the Trinity, and Jesus' life by using our Bibles, historical records, and church history to see what the true foundation for our faith is. We will also cover basic theological ideas by defining terms and explaining what they mean in a way that young believers can understand.
We will be using the Bible Doctrines curriculum by BJU Press and each student will need to purchase the student book. (It is found on christianbook.com)
*Note Understanding Your Faith 2 will be offered in the spring to cover the second half to the textbook. This class will be one term
Requirements:
Students should be at grade level, (9th), in reading and writing skills. The ability to write 2-3 page paper unassisted is also required.
Bible Doctrines 10: Doctrines for a Biblical Worldview Student Text, which can be purchased at christianbook.com.
