Students also review literary elements (theme, plot, character, setting, poetry terms, irony, symbolism, tone, and style), comparing often humanistic worldviews with a Christian view.
• Grammar & Usage. Students study usage and grammar rules and concepts (the possessive case, gerunds, serial commas and comma use, pronoun-antecedent agreement, parenthetic expressions, restrictive clauses, and non-restrictive clauses.  Concepts are reinforced through regular practice worksheets.
• Vocabulary. About 40 key vocabulary words (definitions, origins, synonyms, and use in context), also reinforced with take-home practice worksheets
• Composition. No boring essays to write! Students receive thorough corrections on their turn-in essays, with the benefit of Scott Clifton’s degree in journalism and his experience as a writer and editor. This semester students write a longer (1500-1700-word) literary analysis in MLA format, with assistance/guidance.
