Christian Studies Syllabus

Course Description

First thing in the morning the senior class will gather in my classroom for Christian Studies. For this course we will be discussing and reading from The Diaries of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain. To get a little more hands on with the book we will be making our own illustrations for the book. Throughout the course we will also be working on plans for graduation, senior trip, and life after graduation. This will be a good way to prepare for college, military, or getting a job. In order to complete the course in a timely manner, students may be assigned homework and are expected to bring their completed work back promptly. The objective for this course is to better prepare the student for a higher level of living.

Classroom Expectations

· The Habit of Attention

· The Habit of Self Control

· The Habit of Perfect Execution

· The Habit of Sweet Temper

· be on time

· bring back all homework assignments completed

· Participate

Evaluations

Evaluations will be given throughout the course to see how much of the material covered you have retained since the last evaluation. The evaluation will be given in the form of narration or interview.

A New Start For a New Year!

Well, last year all of my seniors became the first graduating class of Flint Academy, and they could not have made me prouder. This year I hope to build a strong relationship with a new group of young minds. I will be teaching Algebra I, United States Government, and Physical Education to all of the upper school students. I am very excited and can't wait to meet and teach new faces.
