Description:
The term “English class” is a long outdated misnomer. What students need is a class focused on the skills needed to read with strong comprehension, write clearly and effectively and to think independently, both deeply and critically. After all, our students already speak the English language with considerable proficiency. What they require is the guidance to wield that knowledge powerfully and wisely.
To that end, this class will focus on these specific areas: a growing love of reading, constant improvement of comprehension skills and sharper discernment regarding the material they read. Along the way, students will be introduced a variety of literary works and genres ranging from short and long novels, drama, poetry and month long focus on two of Shakespeare's better known play. The class will be an extension of earlier English classes with the focus on classic literature from both the British and American canons. Students will be required to complete monthly class essays on selected passages.The class will meet twice weekly for 50 minute sessions. Because classroom time is limited, our meeting will target activities that cannot be outside of class i.e., mini-lessons, classroom discussions, etc.
NOTE: Dr. Conway is scheduled to miss eight classes during the fall semester (September 21, 23, October 21, 26, 28 and November 2, 16, 18). Classes will be taught by Heather Cates.

“Real faith. Real friends. Real life.”
This is where things get real—in the best way. High School Youth Group is your space to ask big questions, be yourself, and grow alongside people who get it. We’ll dive into honest conversations about faith, life, and everything in between. Some weeks we’ll be laughing till we cry; other weeks we’ll be figuring out what it means to follow Jesus in a world that’s anything but simple. Either way, there’s always food, friends, and a whole lot of heart.
Utilizing free online courses from Hillsdale College (online.hillsdale.edu), this class will cover the basics of civics. These will include the founding documents that form the basis for the US government and its structure (Articles of Confederation, Declaration of Independence, US Constitution) and the writings of the men who wrote these documents (Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers). We will then proceed to studying the three constitutional branches of government, citizenship, and current challenges. Students will need to create an account with Hillsdale College Online. We will be using the following online courses as the basis for this year-long course: Intro to the Constitution, Constitution 101, Constitution 201, Federalist Papers, Presidency and the Constitution, US Supreme Court, Congress: How it Works and Why It Doesn’t, Public Policy from a Constitutional Viewpoint, Civil Rights in American History, American Citizenship and Its Decline, and The American Left: From Liberalism to Despotism. Parents should preview these online lessons, as they occasionally deal with controversial issues and are intended for college students. Students should expect to spend about 1 hour each school day studying for this course by watching the Hillsdale lectures and doing any associated readings. Course quizzes for each section are conducted online. As this is a seminar-type class, students MUST DO THE REQUIRED CLASSWORK DURING THE WEEK AND BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS THE SUBJECT MATTER IN CLASS EACH WEEK.
