IEW Middle /High School – US History-Based Writing Lessons
Instructor: Kim Murphy, Certified IEW Instructor, IEW Online Instructor
Email: literallykim5@gmail.com
Phone: 843-377-5069
Grades 6 - 9
Monthly Cost(s): $35 per month
Materials fee $35
Class time:
Required text: IEW’s US History-Based Writing Lessons, First edition, February 2017. I will purchase this for you with your materials fee.
Prerequisite: Former students receive priority seating.
This class is a logical next class for students who took IEW Following Narnia: The Lion’s Song last year. However, since I am teaching this curriculum at two different class times, there will be room for new students. If you have a middle school student who has never taken IEW before, this can also be a great place for students to start formal writing instruction if their parents are committed to helping them at home. I will help you learn how to do this, parents! My fifty minutes of weekly instruction will get your students started, but your input is vital. Writing, like any skill, requires practice and consistent instruction. Slow and steady wins the race!
Parents are expected to help their students with their weekly homework and edit the student rough drafts. Consistent parental involvement and communication with me are extremely important for students to make progress in their writing skills in this class.
Supplies: 1” 3-ring binder, with 4 separate tabs for Current Work, Completed Work, Resources, and Paper
I prefer students use pens in class because they write more easily and require less pressure….and they rarely break.
Course description: Students will develop their skill with the Structure and Style Writing Method while learning about interesting, important people and events in U.S. history from the explorers to the twentieth century. An optional literature component studies six novels that integrate with the historical topics used for writing assignments. We will not cover the novels in class.

Required text: Apologia Exploring Creation with Physical Science 2nd Edition
Supplies: 3-ring binder, #2 sharpened or mechanical pencils
This laboratory class offers students the opportunity to perform the experiments and discuss the material contained in Apologia Exploring Creation with Physical Science, second edition. Students will have the opportunity to learn to properly collect data during a laboratory experiment and write up scientific experiments. Students will also be required to complete two projects.
The lab grade counts for 30% of the course grade. This grade is not to be used as their overall Physical Science course grade, since it will only reflect work done on the labs, not on reading and tests. Students will be graded on weekly lab reports, maintaining a neat lab notebook, two major projects, and class participation. Detailed instructions for all assignments will be given in class. Absences are excused only with an email from parent within 24 hours of a missed class. Late assignments will drop 1 letter grade.
Students are to read the modules in the textbook at home on the same schedule as the lab syllabus. Parents are responsible for grading all text work (tests, study guides, on-you-own questions) and textbook progress will be checked at the end of each semester

We will rehearse on Fridays from 11-3 at Riverbluff Church (lunch break included). Auditions are required. Each student MUST perform a one-minute monologue AND sing a song from a musical. Students must use accompaniment for their audition song. Auditions will be held before the first day of rehearsal.
Rehearsal time is valuable. We strive to make this the best show possible – this class requires COMMITMENT and PARTICIPATION from every student and parent. Each actor plays an important role and should plan to be at every rehearsal to make the show a success! All students and parents need to be a part of a Facebook group and will be asked to sign a commitment form.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be extra Saturday rehearsals closer to the performance that will be MANDATORY. There will be a small ticket fee for the show. Parents are responsible for costumes and any fees associated with costumes

Students learn to create computer programs that will help them learn to collaborate with others, develop problem-solving skills, and persist through difficult tasks. They will study programming concepts, computational thinking, digital citizenship, and develop interactive games or stories they can share. The course teaches the foundational concepts of programming using drag and drop blocks rather than a programming language such as JavaScript or Python. Blocks are an easier way to get started and many top Universities today begin their classes with block based programming.

Grades: 9-12
Monthly Cost(s): 30
Materials fee: $40
Class time:
Required Textbook: Graphic Design - The New Basics by Ellen Lupton and Jennifer Cole Phillips (available on Amazon)
Pre-requisites: none
Supplies: sketchbook (I recommend the Strathmore Series 400 9x12"), Xacto knife, pencil, technical pen (Micron .25 or .35 or any)
Course Description. This class is for high school students interested in learning more about the graphic design profession and/or pursuing graphic design at university level. We will be starting with the basics of understanding what graphic design is. Then exploring how to develop a concept for a design, research, typography, and the design process itself. Computers won't be used, but students may have the occasional need to use a phone camera or app.
Syllabus
This course is geared toward students interested in pursuing Graphic Design at the college or university level.
Course Goals:
1) Demonstrate an understanding of what graphic design is.
2) Read, understand, and communicate in the language of graphic design.
3) Learn the design process and be able to successfully create a 2D design that displays conceptual thinking, understanding of design space, and good use of typography.
Unit 1 - Introduction to Graphic Design
This will cover what a graphic designer actually is and a history of graphic design. Students will learn about line, thumbnail sketching, and comprehensive designing. Ethics in design with also be covered in this unit.
Unit 2 - 2D Design Basics
Students learn the fundamentals of two-dimensional design, the foundation of art, graphic design, and visual communication.
Unit 3 - Design Process -
Students will learn and practice the design process through a simple five-step plan. Designers practice the design process in order to find solutions to the visual problems they take on. Students will be able to identify each step in the design process, understand the importance of each step, and implement them.
Introduction

Generate Ideas
Design Development
Implementation
Unit 4 - Typography
Students will be introduced to the power of words through typography. After a brief but important history of the alphabet, students learn to use typography as a communication tool—not only to make artful design, but to organize and communicate the meaning of an idea. Students will understand how type can be used to make text more readable and understandable and how it can organize content for ease of use and comprehension.

Psychology: A Christian Perspective teaches students the science of Psychology but does not lose sight of the belief that Mankind was created in the image of God and that the Bible best describes human nature. We will study modern psychology’s core philosophical assumptions: naturalism, behaviorism, humanism, evolutionism, empiricism, moral relativism, and reductionism. The goal for our study of psychology, just like the study of biology, theology, history, and every other discipline, is to understand God’s creation. We will have class discussions, homework assignments, tests, and at least one project.
