World Views Three

Grades: 10-12

Class Description: World Views of the Western World Book Four: Christianity Answers the 21^st Century. (This is a name change from the previous printing, but either edition is acceptable.)

The outline catalogs the succession of world views of the 20th Century. Four very important questions are answered in the final study of world views:

1. Why did the West reject Christianity?

2. What were the effects of this shift away from Christianity?

3. How are we as Christians to live in the 21st Century?

4. What do we as Christians have to say to the 21st Century culture?

If your children are not prepared to answer these four questions, they may not be prepared to step into the 21st Century. 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. I would love to have a photo with your application, so that I may put a face to the person I will be praying for as I prepare to teach this 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 3 hours or more 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.
