A PARENT-LED OPTION;

NOT FOR ONE DAY ACADEMY CLASS.


Suggested Age: 16-18

Prerequisite: A successful completion of High School English 2 or equivalent or One Day Academy’s American Literature

course—or upon approval of the instructor based on a writing sample.

Purpose: To aid the student in thoughtful analysis of various classical and British works of ancient origin through the
20th century.
Process: Students will learn how the Bible’s authors, the poet Homer, and various British authors utilized
characterization, setting, irony, and other literary tools to expand upon various themes in ways unique to the
local culture at the time of the work’s conception, yet still relevant today. Through this course, students learn to
discuss at a college level major artistic works in the context of their impact on society and on individuals while
becoming more confident in expressing their interpretations based on a Christian worldview. Lessons include:
 An overview of the history of the time period and its predominant worldviews,
 An explanation of the authors, their backgrounds, and personal worldviews,
 Themes of the works and their biblical relevance,
 Charts, essay questions, and literary analysis essays.
Leader Guide and Student Workbook
The Leader Guide is designed for use with the British and Classical Literature Student Course
Workbook, as well as all the required reading books, and is suitable for one-on-one or small group
home instruction. The Leader’s Guide features a weekly overview, a lesson guide for each of 34 weekly
lessons, and information about the books and other readings that will be key to completing the writing
assignments and charts. The Leader Guide includes some of the student materials, including the writing
assignments, samples of the charts, and the writing rubrics to help parents with evaluating and grading
student writing. Students take notes on these lessons in the Course Workbook, which will aid them in
completing the writing assignments and charts, also found in the student coursebook.
