Total Language Plus: Literature Inspired Comprehensive Language Arts Curriculum is a Christian literature-based language arts program. Students will enjoy reading the excellent works chosen, and the separate elements of language arts, including spelling, vocabulary, grammar, writing, critical thinking, and communication, are all based on the story for an engaging, integrated curriculum. In addition, lessons and activities stress mastery learning, rather than short-term memorization, for a broader and deeper understanding of language arts. Parents may wish to supplement with a grammar or writing program; TLP bridges the gap between knowing grammar and writing and applying it. If basic grammar or writing skills are lacking, supplementing will be necessary.
Students read the chapter(s) in the book and follow-up by completing the included worksheets or perhaps using a field trip suggestion or hands-on idea. Daily Flashcard Review activities are a core component of the program, and help students master spelling words through daily practice.
This Lord of the Flies study guide (Grades 11-12) is designed to be used with the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, which is NOT included and must be obtained separately. It includes six units. Unit worksheets cover reading, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and writing. Students are given a term research paper, character study paper, and story analysis paper for writing assignments; each unit helps move students forward towards their writing goals (e.g. Unit 2 asks students to prepare a working outline). Students will write words with their matching definitions, write dictation exercises, complete puzzles, and more.
One literature guide per quarter is recommended (3-5 per year depending on speed). This 6-unit study will take a minimum of 6-weeks but most likely 9-11 weeks. Plan to spend about 10-15 minutes daily (approximately 10-12 pages).
Grades 11-12. 112 pages, paperback. Line-listed answer key included in the back of the book. Consumable student workbook and non-reproducible (homeschooling parents using a book with multiple children simultaneously excepted).
