MS Language Arts 3
Grades: 8
Couse description
How can we know which ideas have lasting value? Books, poems, and songs are filled with stories about people discovering the world around them and inside them. Authors share their reflections about how people respond to changes and challenges. In this course, students encounter the many faces of change while standing on the foundation of God’s changeless truth. They are also challenged to define and describe their own place in a changing world in relationship with an eternal God. The purpose of this course is to give students the tools to understand and express who they are and where they want to go. By the end of the course, each student’s portfolio of writings provide a descriptive self-portrait of a young adult growing up.
