World Views Two
Teacher: Beverly Stewart
Grades: 8-12
Meets: Two Sessions Wednesday or Thursday
Class Description: World Views of the Western World Two: The Grandeur of Christianity by David Quine. (World Views of the Western World Three: The Shift Away from Christianity will be offered beginning next year.) See www.cornerstonecurriculum.com for in-depth description of the curriculum. See website for complete listing of credits this curriculum covers. Doing all three years of World View covers all your high school credits needed except Math, Science, and a foreign language.
Prerequisites: Strong reading and writing skills--a recent essay is required with application, as a sample of your own writing skills. These classes are difficult and not for all students. Students who have not been in my classes will be interviewed before being allowed to join the class. A sample of your writing skills, an essay, written in the last year must be submitted with your application to join the class.
Maximum number of students that you will allow to take this class: 10
Cost per student (numeric only): $90 per month (10 months-August through May)
Homework: Heavy homework each week with major writing assignments. Expect to spend 2 to 3 hours per day on homework. This is no exaggeration and your schedule should be planned accordingly. You will be held accountable for homework.
Supplies that the students should bring to class: highlighters, paper, pencil or pen, and the World View Books available from Cornerstone Curriculum (usually a sale in the spring) or Christian Book Distributors or Amazon. We will use all books and all tapes listed in World View Curriculum list, however you do not need to buy the video tapes, art package, or music package. These will be used during class time only.
