• Reasoning and Writing: The Habits of Comprehension with Discipleship and Worldview Focus
       - Recommended Age Level: This tutorial is designed for above average to advanced homeschool students 8th - 10th Grade (12-15 years old). All students, regardless of age, will be challenged at their particular academic and spiritual level as a result of the direct instruction given them by Mr. Wirtz. This is possible because the class is limited to 8 students, which will allow us to give intensive individual attention to each student, regardless of their ability.
       - Subjects covered: Our Reasoning and Writing: The Habits of Comprehension tutorial focuses on the methods and habits of effective argumentation. These methodology lessons will be habituated through the study of the discipleship and worldview instructional content. By growing in their mastery of effective analytical reading and writing habits, students will be better equipped to grow in Christ, disciple other believers, defend the Christian worldview in the "marketplace of ideas" and share the hope of Christ with others.
       - Transcript credit suggestions: Any one of the following: Bible Study, Discipleship, Worldview, Logic, Debate or Writing. Because this class is considered to be writing and logic intensive, students can receive credit for both of these subjects. Students will learn to understand analogies, paragraph structure and meaning, deductive reasoning, using and understanding words in context, and vocabulary. It will also be excellent preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT.
