Download a Free Sample The convenient tips, reminders, and pre-planned schedule in this book make it simple to guide your eighth-grade student using Charlotte Mason’s effective methods. Grade 8 is a year when the individual work load continues to increase in preparation for high school. The lesson plans in this book cover language arts, science, Latin, personal development, and math. The eighth-grade student is also expected to work on creating his own Book of Centuries and Book of Mottoes/commonplace book as he progresses in all subjects. Click on the Book List tab to see a full list of the resources needed for these lesson plans. These Individual Studies will
- Encourage growth in language arts through living books and literature.
- Introduce Latin in short, interesting lessons.
- Help your student get to know the possibilities and dangers within himself.
- Guide you in science through nature study, conversational textbooks, and living books.
- Allow you to use the math curriculum of your choice.
- Provide a thorough education at an enjoyable pace.
Language Arts
Students will continue a focus on English grammar by analyzing sentences. They will also progress in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and English usage guidelines using the literary passages presented in Spelling Wisdom, Book 3, and the guided discovery lessons in Using Language Well, Book 3. The second half of these books is completed this year; the rest was covered in grade 7. Written narration will be assigned to encourage your student to continue to progress in organizing his thoughts on paper and applying guidelines he has learned about English grammar, usage, and mechanics. Rubrics and further instructions are provided in the Using Language Well, Book 3, Teacher Guide & Answer Key. (Students also have the option of including additional grammar studies using Analytical Grammar. The lessons in this book cover Units 18–35 of that course. Units 1–17 were covered in grade 6 and grade 7.)Latin
A gentle introduction to Latin is continued with lessons just twice a week. The last half of the book, Getting Started with Latin, is completed this year; the first half was covered in grade 7.Personal Development
Students will continue to read, narrate, and discuss Self-Knowledge (Ourselves, Book 1) by Charlotte Mason. We recommend the Youth Edition, which is divided into individual readings with side notes, points to narrate and discuss, and exam questions. The last half of the book is completed this year; the first half was covered in grade 8. Alternately, there is a compressed one-year reading schedule.Science
In grade 8, science lessons are more in-depth and should be completed individually. We recommend the use of a conversational textbook with a study of Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 2nd edition, this year. The lesson plans will reflect narration options, as well as include an optional living science book on Johannes Kepler, who is mentioned in the course of study. Journaling a Year in Nature is recommended for nature study.Math
Lessons include reminders to work on your choice of math curriculum.1 GradeSku: 9781616344597Individual Studies Grade 8

From the Publisher: If we’re honest none of us find evangelism easy. We’re told we should do it, we might know that we should be doing it, but the reality is often too scary. Paul Williams is realistic about our fear and guilt, but with gentleness he shows us that the key to banishing our fear isn’t complex and clever answers, but rather to take our friends to the person of Jesus. He gives practical examples of how we can naturally and thoughtfully share how Jesus answers, and is the answer to commonly asked questions. Paul also shares how this simple model has led to greater confidence and joy in his own evangelism. This can be our joy too!

Studying formal logic can be intimidating without the right help, but knowing how to think logically isn't just for "experts." Logic should be your secret weapon. It's the tool for learning how to use other tools. It's the bones that give a clenched fist its structure (and knuckles). With that in mind, this author has painstakingly designed Intermediate Logic for everyday students, teachers, and parents who've never used truth tables or formal proofs of validity to work with syllogisms, but who know just how important and applicable learning logic is. In Intermediate Logic, you'll get the benefit of James B. Nance's twenty years of teaching experience to help you master propositional arguments:
- How to interpret and analyze logical operators and truth tables by reviewing and applying the concepts of validity, contradiction, consistency, and equivalence,
- How to internalize the nine basic rules of inference to derive an argument's conclusions from its premises,
- How to easily determine consistency, self-contradiction, tautology, equivalence, and validity by using truth trees, How to apply all these skills to real-life thinkers and writers wherever you encounter them,
- An all-new optional unit on understanding digital logic, the "language" which modern gadgets (from digital alarm clock displays to computer processors) use to function.
