Composition
Building on the foundation begun in Grammar 2, students add to their repertoire of stylistic techniques. Using material drawn from science and history as well as Andrew Pudewa’s ‘Teaching Structure & Style’ from the Institute for Excellence in Writing, students progress from writing simple sentences to paragraphs, constantly reinforcing earlier concepts which solidifies their ability to express themselves.

Grammar – at home
Shurley English Level 3 develops a clear understanding of grammar and sentence construction. Beginning in Grammar 3, students work on grammar at home using weekly lesson plans provided by ACTS. Classroom activities help to introduce grammar concepts while encouraging reinforcement of previous ones and keeping up with home lessons. Students sing and recite jingles, work through the Question and Answer flow of sentences while cementing their understanding of basic grammar. Text: Shurley English Level 3
History
In studying the Medieval Era using Veritas Press Middle Ages History Cards, students encounter God’s hand orchestrating events and see His hand preserving His Word throughout His story. Weaving a tapestry that incorporates God’s purpose in 32 pivotal events and people of the period, students will learn new vocabulary and memorize the 32 events through a song. Students will also discover how the world shifted and changed during this dynamic period. Various crafts, projects, and field trips enrich and enhance each student’s understanding of the era. Texts: Veritas Press Middle Ages History Cards, The Door in the Wall, King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table, The Sword in the Tree.
