Sonlight's Homeschool High School Lesson Plans - Instructor's GuidesSonlight's Homeschool High School Lesson Plans - Instructor's Guides

Lesson Plans

At the high school levels, we have designed the lesson plans, our Instructor's Guides, to move you into more of a supportive role. The notes in the Instructor's Guides (IGs) are written to the students, and each high school program includes both a Parent Guide and a Student Guide.

The Student Guide contains discussion and thought questions. Some questions cover basic comprehension, and some are closer to college-level analysis. The Parent Guide contains all the same information, along with answers.

So, while you still receive the book-by-book, and subject-by-subject schedule and notes, the tool matches your family's needs for the high school season.

Your student will be able to work independently for much of the time and you are able to choose when and how you would like to work with them.

IGs are included with your History / Bible and Literature / Language Arts or All-Subjects Packages. Use them for record keeping, a daily schedule, notes, or any combination of the three. At the high school level, your Apologia Science program comes with a Student Notebook or Sonlight Schedule Plus which provides a daily schedule and introduces your student to notetaking and recording their scientific findings.

Literature / Language Arts

For your 12th grade year, you will have Literature and Language Arts combined. As your students read the literature, they will spend some time on comprehension questions, as well as to continue looking in-depth at literary analysis and deeper thought questions: What effect did this have? Where these good actions?

Your student will continue to learn terms like analogy and conflict, think through ethical questions, and build their cultural literacy. Their writing assignments mostly come from their reading.
