Product Description

 

The Moving Beyond the Page Age 11-13 level is the first level in our two-year middle school homeschool curriculum. During these two years, your child will prepare to excel in high school science, social studies, and English. In science he will receive one semester of Earth Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. In social studies he will have an appreciation for the course of human civilization for every corner of the globe as well as an understanding of American history and government. The language arts program is a great precursor to high school English as students will do in-depth literature studies and rigorous writing assignments while continuing to improve grammar knowledege and application. When your homeschooler finishes our middle school curriculum, he will be well prepared for high school.

 

The Age 11-13 level of curriculum is the first year of middle school homeschool curriculum. All units are student directed, and students take responsibility for formulating their own ideas and directing their day. The primary lesson plans are written for your child to read and follow. Our parent overviews include activity descriptions and answer keys for you, and we provide plenty of opportunities for discussion and active involvement in your child's education. This level is usually used for seventh grade, but is often used in sixth grade or eighth grade as well.

 

Like our earlier levels, the Age 11-13 level covers science, social studies, and language arts. Unlike earlier levels, the Age 11-13 level gives equal weight to science, social studies, and language arts. In earlier levels, language arts received more of a focus, but in our middle school levels the subjects are all weighted equally.

 

Each day, students will do three lessons — one in science, one in social studies, and one in language arts. In earlier levels of Moving Beyond the Page, students only did two lessons each day — one in science or social studies and one in language arts. The topic of the language arts unit will tie into either the science or the social studies unit, so children will still be receiving interdisciplinary instruction in the middle school years. This is a hallmark of Moving Beyond the Page that we want to continue through the middle school levels.

 

The full-year curriculum package contains 10 literature units, 10 science units, and 10 social studies units. All units are broken down into daily lesson plans. Students will move through the units together. When they start unit 1 in language arts, they will also begin unit 1 of science and unit 1 of social studies. The knowledge gained in the science and social studies units are reinforced through the corresponding literature unit.
