Dear Parent/Facilitator, Id like to welcome you to the first half of seventh-grade English. This English course is divided into two sections: writing and grammar, and literature. The information contained in this half of the packet is for the writing-and-grammar half of the course. I would like you to join me for the orientation so that I can give you some information that you will need specifically for this half of the course. There are certain aspects of the course that I would also like to discuss with you now. This course uses the third edition of Writing and Grammar from Bob Jones University Press. Since this book is a minor revision of the previous edition, and since this course was originally recorded from the previous edition, the lessons which were revised have been re-recorded. The third edition has added Learning Christianly in the margins of some pages. I do not cover that material, but would encourage you to use it as a discussion with your student. In addition to the information in the student book, you will find further explanation in the Teachers Edition. A pocket in the back of your Teachers Edition contains a Support Materials CD that contains worktext pages to be used by your student as well as answers, grading rubrics, and other helps designed to be of benefit to you. I will often refer to this as Book Two, because this material was in book form in the previous edition. I have put a reminder note about this change in the Schedule of Lessons. The Schedule of Lessons included in this packet is the page that you will refer to the most. It is not meant to take the place of our daily chats during Teachers Tips, but it does give you all the recurring information that you need. Please pay close attention to the column titled Parents/Facilitators Responsibilities. If you dont keep up with your work, you will have a difficult time determining a grade for your student. Youll also have no idea whether he is learning what he is supposed to. If you have purchased grammar tests from BJU Press, thats great. Please administer one to your student at the end of each chapter as noted on the master schedule. You will notice that other tests are also in this packet. These cover the information in a little different format. If you are not using the BJU Press tests, be sure to give one of these tests to your student at the end of each chapter. The answers for these tests are on the answer document. Test days can be overwhelming if you expect your student to do everything assigned for that lesson in one day. A typical end-of-the-chapter lesson may include a chapter review and writing instruction, with the assignment being to take the test and complete the writing assignment. Please be aware that I dont expect your student to do all of this in one day. Feel free to give him a day to take the test, without additional work.
Chapter 16 is on spelling. Since this material is something that your student needs a little time to digest, I will be spreading this information over several chapters. Frog will be helping me by giving your student some Pointers from the Pond. The Schedule of Lessons indicates when this information will be given and when you should give the spelling tests. The lists of words for your student to study are in this packet. The writing assignment for Chapter 16 is a science fair project report. You will notice on the Schedule of Lessons that this is indicated as a bonus lesson. Since I doubt that you are going to have your student write a science research paper as his final assignment of the year but would rather use this information when your student is actually working on a science project, I have chosen to include this information as a supplement. That means that the course will be officially over when Chapter 15 is complete; however, there will be an hour-long lesson shown after that which deals with the science fair project. You may wish to tape this and keep it for future reference. I will stress this more during the Orientation, but let me just mention now that English grammar is not an end in itself. The real test of whether your student knows the information, whether he has really learned something, is how he applies in other areas the things that he has learned. Please be sure to remind your student of that fact. One good way to remind him is for you to give English grades in other subjects. I trust that this course will assist you in homeschooling and will give your student an enjoyable experience and a solid foundation in grammar. Sincerely, Sherri Vick
Regarding State and Local Requirements You should be aware of the requirements you need to meet in order to satisfy your state and local authorities. Local requirements can be acquired from your countys public education office. State requirements may be available from these offices as well, but not always. Examples of possible requirements include the following: A required number of days your homeschool is in session* A required number of lessons per subject Required subjects taught in each grade A required amount of time spent on each subject Field trips that are required or allowed Required achievement testing** Where or to whom you need to send attendance records, grades, test scores, immunization records, etc.
*The teachers and teachers manuals suggest additional trips, experiments, and projects. If your homeschool is required to be in session a certain number of days, other activities (besides watching the lessons) count as legitimate class time. These activities include field trips, projects, library trips, research days, all of the science experiments, and test days (days in which you administer a test to your student). **Testing materials are available through BJU Press Testing & Evaluation. Note: Lesson numbers do not necessarily correspond with the days of school because of test days or combined lessons. This varies from teacher to teacher and subject to subject; however, the lessons will progress sequentially.
Regarding Copyright of Written Materials Permission is granted to copy any page in this packet, provided that the use and reuse of the material are within the original purchaser's immediate family only. Further use, resale, copying, or distribution is illegal and a violation of copyright laws. This packet may not be returned for a refund if copies have been made of any of the pages.

Origami Card Wallet Directions

(Use with Lesson 07-05. Student should have these instructions at the beginning of the lesson.)
Start with a piece of paper. Fold it in half. Bring the bottom edge of the top layer up to the top edge. Put a crisp crease in it, and then unfold it. Flip the paper over and do the same thing to the other side. Next, on the top layer, fold the bottom edge up. Then flip the paper over and do the same thing to the other side. Now, on the top layer, fold each of the bottom corners up to the crease from before. Then flip your paper over and fold these bottom corners just like the ones on the opposite. Next, on the top layer, fold the bottom section back up. Do this to the other side too. Now unfold the entire top layer up. You have a rectangle. Now fold the top edge down. Take the bottom of the paper and fold it up, tucking the bottom corners into the top pockets. Put a sharp crease in along the bottom. Lastly, fold the left side over and put a sharp crease in it. Unfold it, and do the same thing to the right side. The card wallet is now complete. There are four pockets for holding cards.
Origami Card Wallet Directions

(Use with Lesson 07-05. Parent/Facilitator, place directions in a sealed envelope.)
Start with an 8-by-11-inch piece of paper in the portrait position. Fold the paper in half, not lengthwise, but instead bring the short ends together. We will call this fold A. With the paper folded, you now have two layers. Keeping fold A at the top, bring the bottom edge of the top layer up to the top-folded edge. Put a crisp crease in it, and then unfold it. Flip the paper over, and do the same thing to the other side. Dont forget to unfold that side too! We will call both of these folds B. Next, on the top layer, still keeping fold A at the top, fold the bottom edge up about inch. Then flip the paper over and do the same thing to the other side. Now on the top layer with fold A still at the top, fold each of the bottom corners up at a 45degree angle to meet the crease from fold B. Then flip your paper over, and fold these bottom corners just like the ones on the opposite. Next, on the top layer, fold the bottom section back up along fold B. It will not quite reach the top. Do this to the other side too. Now you need to unfold the paper along fold A. When youve unfolded it correctly, a rectangle will be in front of you, with all of the folds on the other side. Next, turn the paper so that one of the short edges is closest to you. Now fold the top edge down about one inch. This will make two triangle pockets in the top corners. Take the bottom of the paper and fold it up, tucking the bottom corners into the top pockets. After insuring that it is a snug fit, put a sharp crease in it along the bottom. Lastly, fold the left side over until it is about 1/8th inch from the right edge, and put a sharp crease in it. Unfold it, and do the same thing to the right side. The card wallet is now complete. There are four pockets for holding cards: two on the outside and two on the inside.
Four Square Instructions

(Use with Lesson 12-04.) The playing area is 12' by 12', divided into four equal squares. One player is stationed in each square; there may be any number in the waiting line. The object of the game is to advance to Square D and remain there as long as possible. The outside corner of Square D is marked off with a 2-foot quarter-circle in which the server must stand to serve. Play begins when the player in Square D bounces the ball and then hits it with either one or two hands. The ball may not be smashed down on the serve; it must arch up, bouncing at least one foot. The flight of the ball is directed to one of the other squares. The player in the receiving square keeps the ball in play by hitting it after it has bounced once in his square. The ball must bounce into one of the other three squares to remain in play. A player may go anywhere to return a fair ballout of the court or into another square. Play proceeds until one of the players fouls or fails to return the ball properly. When this occurs, the offending player must go to the end of the line. Players behind the offending player move up one square. The first player in the waiting line always moves into Square A. D A
Fouls:
1. A ball that hits any inside line is a foul. (Outside lines are good.) 2. A ball that hits a player while that player is standing in his own square is a foul ball. The player struck by the ball commits the foul. If a player is outside the playing court and hit by a ball that has not yet bounced in a square, the player who hit the ball has fouled. Suggestions: 1. If two players persist in playing the ball only to each other, a rule may be added requiring a player to return the ball to any square other than the one from which it came. 2. An addition of a one-foot diameter circle or diamond in the center where the squares intersect is sometimes added to the playing court. This area is "poison," and any player hitting any part of the circle is out. 3. With beginning players, these two rules may be added: a. The serve must always go to the opposite corner "B," after which the ball may be played to any square. b. The ball must always be hit with the palm or palms up. This avoids some of the hard over-hand smashes. 4. Masking tape or watercolor paint (which washes off) makes excellent indoor markings for hard-surfaced areas. 5. A player who hits a ball over the head of an opposing player is out. Variations: 1. Use different sizes of balls. 2. Make the squares larger or smaller. 3. Change the number of squares. Two squares work well when only a few people are playing. Nine squares are particularly interesting.

Oops!
To the best of our ability, we have tried to make these programs without error; however, we want you to be aware of some inaccuracies we have noted in this course. Lesson 02-03 For Sentence 7 in Review the Skill 2-13, Mrs. Vick talks about the word Ohio and explains why it is neither a count nor noncount noun. In the Writing and Grammar 7 Student Worktext, college is underlined and should be labeled as a count noun.
