Individual Studies Grade 8

An entire year of day-by-day plans for language arts, Latin, personal development, science, and math for Grade Eight using Charlotte Mason's methods.

These Individual Studies will

  • Encourage growth in language arts through living books and literature.
  • Introduce Latin in short, interesting lessons.
  • Help your student get to know the possibilities and dangers within himself.
  • Guide you in science through nature study, conversational textbooks, and living books.
  • Allow you to use the math curriculum of your choice.
  • Provide a thorough education at an enjoyable pace.
Language Arts - Students will continue a focus on English grammar by analyzing sentences. They will also progress in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and English usage guidelines using the literary passages presented in Spelling Wisdom, Book 3  and the guided discovery lessons in Using Language Well, Book 3, Student Book. The second half of these books is completed this year; the rest was covered in Grade 7. Rubrics and further instructions are provided in the Using Language Well, Book 3, Teacher Guide & Answer Key.  (Optional plans are included for those who want more in-depth grammar study using Analytical Grammar.)
Latin - A gentle introduction to Latin is continued with lessons just twice a week. The last half of the book, Getting Started with Latin by William E. Linney, is completed this year; the first half was covered in Grade 7.
Personal Development - Students will continue to read, narrate, and discuss Self-Knowledge (Ourselves, Book 1) by Charlotte Mason. This Youth Edition is recommended, since it is divided into individual readings with side notes, points to narrate and discuss, and exam questions.  The last half of the book is completed this year; the first half was covered in Grade 7. (There is a compressed one-year reading schedule included though.)
Science - In grade 8, science lessons are more in-depth and should be completed individually. The use of a conversational textbook is recommended this year, such as Exploring Creation with Physical ScienceThe lesson plans will reflect narration options, as well as include an optional living science book on Johannes Kepler, who is mentioned in the course of study. Journaling a Year in Nature is recommended for nature study.
Math - Lessons include reminders to work on your choice of math curriculum.
