Category Description for Moving Beyond the Page High School

A challenging language arts program with user-friendly manuals (written directly to the student), Moving Beyond the Page continues to provide detailed and involved book studies, step-by-step exercises, thought-provoking writing assignments, and broad-based literature selections. The nine units collectively provide a one-year English/Language Arts credit. Each unit as well as each semester concludes with a final exam. The pace is one lesson per day, with the expectation of spending 1 1/2 - 2 hours per lesson (includes reading and writing work). Although each unit includes parent overview with answers/talking points (could be easily removable), each Unit Worktext is consumable, providing background information, literary instruction, discussion questions, vocabulary exercises, worksheets, and graphic organizers as well as detailed lessons and assignments. Students are expected to keep a journal as they progress through the course. Books vary from 130 to 295 pgs, spiral-bound. ~ Janice

Why did you choose this?

Looking forward to using the book Ender's Game for an English/Language Arts Elective as I've talked with other English teachers who say this is a great book to use to bridge that gap.
