Introduction

Welcome to Grade 6 video school. Acquaint yourself with the student texts and teacher mate-rials, the time schedule, and this video manual. Study the subject explanations in this manual until you are familiar with them, and refer to them as needed during the year. These explanations describe the subjects and give special grading information or classroom procedures that will be a help to you. The video teacher introduces new concepts, teaches students how to apply these concepts, gives practice work, and conducts oral and written reviews. Every subject is on video daily unless otherwise indicated in the Daily Guides. Careful supervision is important at this age level. There will be times when the Daily Guides suggest that you preview a video segment to see samples of oral grading or new procedures.

In addition to the actual video time, provide independent work times (video is off) to complete arithmetic, reading, language, penmanship, history, science, health, and art assignments. Also, set aside time each day to check the neatness, accuracy, and completeness of the daily work; or to give help as needed.

The key to success in using this video school program is to make sure students are actively par-ticipating with the video class. The video teachers often call on your students to answer a question or participate. When they do, the video teacher will refer to students as “students watching.” They should answer aloud when the video teachers call on them, just as if they were sitting in the video teachers’ classrooms. Consistent participation with the oral and written classwork, the singing, the reading, etc., will be vital in learning the material.

During the first week of school, establish good habits and procedures to lay a solid foundation for a smooth school year. Some proper habits which you may emphasize are sitting with good posture and standing when reciting or reading. These will be taught on the video, but they must be rein-forced in order for the students to benefit from them. It may be helpful to establish routines ahead of time for having class materials ready and taking quizzes and tests.

Notebook paper will be needed each day in order to practice the various subjects taught on video. Extra notebook paper should be kept in a three-ring binder. For easy access, the students should keep two to three sheets of notebook paper in a pocket of their binders. Students should always be prepared with several pens and pencils to use as needed for each subject and during inde-pendent work time.

Penmanship classwork is designed to be done in pen. All arithmetic work is done in pencil. For the rest of the subjects, students will use pen on notebook paper and pencil in all textbooks.

The course materials have been carefully out-lined so that you, the on-site teacher, can easily supervise students’ learning. Your main responsi-bilities are to ensure that the lessons are completed daily, to review material taught for reinforcement, and to administer and supervise all quizzes and tests. In many ways, you are the key to the stu-dents’ progress in their courses. Your concern and diligence in helping them complete their work according to proper procedures will let them know that you are determined to help them succeed. Appendix I at the back of this manual contains helpful information as you track your students’ progress.

Plan a definite time and an environment condu-cive to learning for your students to complete their work each day. The video lessons are most benefi-cial when students participate in all oral work.

The school year is divided into four quarterly (nine-weeks) grading periods. Grading period aver-ages are calculated after the final graded item for each subject. Semester averages are determined after two grading periods. At the end of the year, a yearly average is calculated for each subject. Fur-ther grading details are explained in each subject area section.

Note: Lessons have been recorded for 170 days. Since most school years are 180 days, a field trip could be scheduled once a month (zoo, farm, fire station, bakery, historical site, etc.). Time could also be allotted for standardized testing available through Abeka Testing (1-877-223-5226).

Teacher Instructions

HomeworkIn sixth grade, homework is assigned in Arithme-

tic, Language, Spelling / Vocabulary / Poetry, History, and Science / Health. Homework gives valuable practice in these subjects. Homework assignments are given on video by the video teacher and are listed in the Daily Guides. You may also find it help-ful to display the assignments daily to be copied onto the assignment pad and check that the students have copied assignments. Further details about homework are given in each subject section in this manual.

Homework is generally designed for review and reinforcement and is easily completed by most students. No more than one hour should be spent

on homework at night. Encourage students to use independent work time wisely.

Completed homework should be checked the following day. Before answers are given on video, you will want to check students’ homework for completion and neatness. Refer to the previous lesson in the Daily Guides for homework details. Have the student check his own work as the answers are given on video. It is not necessary that homework be graded.

No homework will be given the first few days of school to allow time for students to begin the school year properly.

Quizzes and TestsThree primary types of written assessments are

used to evaluate your students’ learning: quizzes, tests, and exams. Quizzes occur weekly and are important for evaluating mastery of recent mate-rial. Tests are given at the end of a unit (about every three weeks). Exams are given at the end of a quarter (nine-weeks period) and are cumulative. The Daily Guides give specifics for what is covered on each exam.

Sixth graders will take quizzes in all subjects except Bible, Penmanship, Spelling, and Art. Tests are given in all subjects except Reading and Art. The first quiz and test in each subject will be shown in its entirety on video. Subsequent quiz-zes and tests will be introduced on video, and then the video should be turned off while the students complete the quiz or test.

All dictated quizzes and tests will be given by the video teacher. This includes homework quizzes

(in History and Science / Health), vocabulary and comprehension quizzes (in Reading), and all Spell-ing, Vocabulary, & Poetry 6 tests.

Once the students are finished, they should return the quiz or test to you for grading. Continue the video to complete the class. Further details about quizzes and tests are given in each subject section in this manual.

Students will benefit most if they are able to see their graded quiz or test within a day or two after it was given. Plan a time to briefly go over graded quizzes and tests to let your students see how they did, let you point out things most often missed, and allow them to ask questions. When you finish, collect and save graded quizzes and tests.

Be sure to provide adequate supervision during quizzes and tests. Use of cover sheets is explained on video. A blank sheet of paper to slide down to conceal answers works well.

How to Use the Daily GuidesA sample manual lesson (Lesson 40) is included

for your reference on page T10. The order of the subjects on video is Bible, Arithmetic, Reading, Lan-guage, Penmanship, Spelling / Vocabulary / Poetry, History, Science / Health, and Art (once a week). Under each subject heading, the page numbers covered in that lesson are listed.

To assist you, icons have been used throughout the video manual. These icons will help you know what to do with the information found in the Daily Guides. An icon key at the top of every lesson will remind you what each icon represents.

The Preparation column tells you what you will need to have ready for students’ use and the teacher materials you will need to have ready for that lesson. Any special information you need to know will be indicated by the Teacher Note icon .

For example, in Lesson 40, the verses that are being memorized and the lesson covered in Bible that day are listed for your reference.

For Arithmetic, have Speed Drill Lesson 40 from Arithmetic 6 Quizzes, Tests, & Speed Drills ready when called for by the video teacher. Students also need Arithmetic 6 pp. 73–74 for class.

For Reading, you will need to display the word listed beside the board icon and students should have a piece of notebook paper ready for Vocabulary and Comprehension Quiz 8.

For Language, have Language C p. 67 ready for Quiz D when called for by the video teacher.

For Penmanship, p. 30 from Creative Writing and notebook paper will be needed for Penmanship Test 8.

For Spelling / Vocabulary / Poetry, the box is left empty since there is no preparation necessary.

For History, you will need to have Skills Sheet 12 ready from New World History & Geography Maps & Activities.

For Science, information about an optional science activity found in Observing God’s World is listed beside the Optional icon .

The Procedure column tells you what you will need to do with your students for that day.

In Bible, the Video Only icon is used. If there are no procedure directions for a particular subject, the Video Only icon will be used to indicate that you will only need to play the video for that subject.

In Arithmetic, you will need to check Arithmetic 6 Speed Drill Lesson 40. Arithmetic 6 pp. 73–74 (completed during class or independent work time) will also need to be checked for completion and accuracy. At the end of the video instruction, the video teacher will give the homework assignment for that day, which will be indicated by the Home-work icon b.

In Reading, you will need to collect, grade, and record the quiz. Have a student read the word displayed before you listen to them orally read John 4:1–42. Discussion questions have been provided in Appendix C to help you in checking comprehension. These are indicated by the Ques-tions icon .

In Language, you will collect, grade, and record the quiz. Check Language C p. 66 and p. 67, Think A and Remember C (completed during class or independent work time) for completion and accu-racy. At the end of the video instruction, the video teacher will give the homework assignment for that day, which will be indicated by the Homework icon b.

In Penmanship, collect Creative Writing p. 30 and notebook paper. Grade and record Test 8.

In Spelling, check that the homework was com-pleted. See the previous day’s lesson for assign-ment details. (Answers to spelling exercises are found in Appendix F.) Check that your students have accurately written the sentence the video teacher dictated.

In History, check that the homework was com-pleted. After the video instruction is completed, check the comprehension questions on New World History & Geography p. 67 and p. 69, Comprehen-sion Checks 5C and 5D, by having your students answer the questions orally. At the end of the video instruction, the video teacher will assign Chapter Checkup 5, Section B (#4–10) and Skills Sheet 12 to be completed as homework. You should remind your students that their Geography Project is due in Lesson 51.

In Science, you will need to check that the homework was completed. See the previous day’s lesson for assignment details. After the video instruction is completed, check the comprehension questions on Observing God’s World p. 121, Com-prehension Check 2.11, by having your students answer the questions orally.

The Grading icon indicates what items from that lesson you should hand out, collect, grade, and record. The boxes containing grading infor-mation are shaded gray for easy reference. The answers and point values are located in the teacher test keys, in the Daily Guides, and in some of the appendices. In Lesson 40, grading would be com-pleted in Reading, Language, and Penmanship.

Subject Descriptions and Grading

BibleBible class in sixth grade is a special time. In

addition to the Bible lesson, verses, and singing, each day there will be a time of prayer for mission-aries, government officials, and other individual needs. If you have specific church or family mis-sionaries, you may want to display their special needs and prayer letters.

Bible class begins each day with the pledge to the American flag and a patriotic song. Check that each student stands with good posture and places his right hand over his heart. Have students remain facing the flag after the pledge and continue to keep hand over heart when they sing the national anthem.

A variety of hymns and choruses are taught. Be sure that students are singing with the video class and learning the songs. The book Sing unto the Lord! (optional) is available from Abeka to help with learning new songs or choruses.

In addition to reviewing verses learned in previ-ous grades, the students will be learning a group of Bible verses approximately every four weeks. The exact wording of passages is included in Ap- pendix A of this manual.

� 1 John 1:9; John 1:12; Romans 6:23; Revelation 3:20; Romans 10:13; Ephe- sians 2:8–10 (Lessons 1–25)

� Job 19:25–27 (Lessons 26–45) � Mark 8:34–38 (Lessons 46–65) � 1 Peter 5:8; Romans 8:18; 2 Timothy 1:9;

John 5:24 (Lessons 66–79) � Matthew 7:15; John 10:15; Matthew 9:38;

John 8:31–32 (Lessons 80–95) � Romans 8:28; Ephesians 4:31–32;

Matthew 6:19–21 (Lessons 96–115) � Romans 12:1–8 (Lessons 116–135) � Romans 12:9–16 (Lessons 136–155) � Romans 12:17–21 (Lessons 156–169)

At the end of this time, you will check your students’ memorization by having them recite the passage. The Daily Guides will tell you when to grade verses. All of the passages listed will be graded.

Depending on your class size, you may need to grade verses over two or more lessons beginning with the lesson noted in the Daily Guides. Call two or three students to the front of the classroom. Students should recite their verses individually

for a grade. Continue until everyone has said the verses. Choose students who know the verses best to say them first. This will save class time and give students who are not quite ready an opportunity to hear the verses several more times as they listen to other students recite verses for a grade. Be sure to grade the students on the entire passage rather than just a few verses at a time. Grade students on the accuracy of wording. Since the verses are said so often throughout the month, most students will likely receive As and Bs when they recite them for a grade. A grade of D or F would be rare. Use the following grading guidelines; a grade of “plus” or

“minus” can be given as needed:

Student knows the verse / passage.

A says verse correctly or with just 1 mistake (a missed word, wrong word, or hesitation)

B a few mistakes

Student needs help. C several mistakes

Student is struggling.

D many mistakes— requires excessive help

Student doesn’t know verse / passage.

F Student obviously does not know

verse(s).

At intervals throughout the year, sample oral Bible verse grades will be included in the Daily Guides to help you better determine your students’ grades. The video class will also be reviewing pas-sages from previous years. Your students are not required to say these individually for a grade, just review them with the video class.

Bible lessons are taught on video. The mate-rial covered is listed in the Daily Guides for your reference. On days that the video teacher reviews several lessons, you will see Cumulative Review noted in the Daily Guides. You may wish to plan a time to discuss what your students are learning and give praises and prayer requests.

TestsTests over the Bible lessons will be given five

times during the year. All Bible tests and keys are located in Appendix A of this manual.

T12

Averaging GradesBible averages are determined by averaging test

grades with the oral Bible verse grades. Each test and each memory verse passage carries the same weight.

The quarterly (nine-weeks) average is calculated in the following way:

Oral Bible verse grade* (A) 97Oral Bible verse grade* (B+) 92 Test grade +90 279÷3=93

* The following conversions are used when averaging:

See Appendix I for additional information about grading and recording.

ArithmeticArithmetic class includes oral and written review,

the introduction of new concepts, and the practice of new concepts. The video teacher completely explains all new material. Be sure students are participating with the video class, answering aloud both when the video students answer and when-ever the video teacher says “students watching.”

When a new concept is presented by the video teacher, do not expect all students to understand it the first time. Concepts are constantly reviewed by the video teacher. Be prepared to help the stu-dents master all concepts. For your convenience, the Daily Guides will inform you when a more chal-lenging concept is introduced in the lesson. With continued review and practice, students will master the concepts and gain confidence.

A written speed drill and two pages in the work-text will be completed with the video teacher during arithmetic class. Most pages include a Practice section and a Review section. The Practice section follows the teaching of the new concept or skill. The answers are on the corresponding work-text page of the Arithmetic 6 Answer Key. Your stu-dents may enjoy working some problems on the board or on a piece of notebook paper along with the video students doing problems on the board. Exercises not completed during class time can be finished during independent work time.

Arithmetic homework is assigned three times per week and is included in the back of the work-text. Homework is always review and is easily completed by most students. Students should

start the assigned homework during independent work time once all classwork is completed.

All arithmetic work should be done in pencil and checked for neatness and accuracy. It is not necessary to grade homework or the pages in the Arithmetic 6 work-text.

Speed Drills, Quizzes, and TestsA speed drill will be given each day except when

an arithmetic quiz or test is given. These speed drills are in the Arithmetic 6 Quizzes, Tests, & Speed Drills book. Answers are in the Arithmetic 6 Quiz, Test, & Speed Drill Key. Speed drills begin in Lesson 2 and are used to build accuracy and speed. One speed drill is typically graded each week. The students should not know which drill will be graded. Other speed drills should be checked each day. Note the progress of students as you check. Always encourage the students to do their best work. Each should strive to improve his speed and scores by competing with himself. In Les- sons 2–9, the students will complete and check their speed drill with the video class. Lesson 10 is the first graded speed drill. Beginning in Lesson 10, the video teacher will give instructions and the time allotted to complete the speed drill; then an information screen will appear while students work. At the end of the allotted time, the video teacher will come back on to continue with the arithmetic lesson. Make sure your students knows where to put speed drills to be checked or graded later.

Beginning in Lesson 7, an arithmetic quiz will be given every other week. Students will be directed

T13

when to take the quiz and will have sufficient time to complete it. Quizzes are found in the Arithmetic 6 Quizzes, Tests, & Speed Drills book. Answers and point values are located in the Arithmetic 6 Quiz, Test, & Speed Drill Key.

Beginning in Lesson 12, an arithmetic test will be given every other week. Directions will be given on video, and students will have sufficient time to complete the test. Tests are found in the Arithmetic 6 Quizzes, Tests, & Speed Drills book. Answers and point values are listed in the Arithmetic 6 Quiz, Test, & Speed Drill Key.

Students benefit most if they are able to see their graded quiz or test within a day or two. If a student did poorly, it is helpful for him to rework problems he missed on a sheet of paper during independent work time.

Averaging GradesThe quarterly (nine-weeks) average is calculated in

the following way:1. Average all graded speed drills and count as

one quiz grade. 2. Average all quiz grades, including speed drill

average, and count as one test grade. 3. Average test grades, including quiz average,

for the quarterly average.The semester average is calculated in the

following way:1st quarter average 892nd quarter average +91 180÷2=90




Story ProblemsStory problems need to be set up in the proper

manner as shown in Lesson 1 and should be writ-ten in students’ neatest handwriting. Examples are shown on video. Story problems are worked on students’ notebook paper since space is not available in the work-text. They should write just the answer in the work-text. The same sheet of notebook paper may be used until it is filled. That means it must be kept in a place that is easily accessible. If a student is struggling to solve story problems accurately, you may wish to check the work shown on notebook paper.

Additional PracticeMost work-text pages have green-lettered

problems intended for additional practice. It is not necessary for these problems to be completed for a successful class. They are problems that can be done if there is sufficient time.

Supplementary ExercisesSupplementary Exercises (located at the end of

Arithmetic 6) are designed as a teaching aid to help if a student is having trouble with certain arithmetic concepts. They are optional exercises you can use as desired. To be able to use problems over and over, have students answer on a piece of notebook paper.

For Additional HelpIf a student needs additional help in arithmetic,

practice multiplication, division, addition, and sub-traction facts; learn measures; and work problems that are difficult for him. Use flashcards (optional—available from Abeka), oral combinations, and the Supplementary Exercises section of the text. Arith-metic Facts Sheets, located in Appendix B, may be given to the student. Have a balance of oral drill, board practice, and fun activities. Praise the student as he works hard to make progress.

ReadingIn reading class, students will further develop

reading skills while being encouraged to develop good character through the stories and poems, as well as weekly Bible reading selections. Students will read silently while the video class reads aloud. When the video is turned off, they will orally read the pages listed in the Procedure column.

If a student does not have a strong background in phonics, he may benefit from additional work using Handbook for Reading (optional) to review the phonics rules. A Basic Phonics Sounds CD (optional) is also available for purchase from Abeka if more help is needed.

During the first few days of reading, you will need to spend time establishing good reading habits. Stress these reading habits all year:

1. Sit tall, using good posture.2. Hold the reading book comfortably.3. Learn how to turn pages quickly.4. Read by phrases.5. Observe punctuation marks.6. Read accurately and clearly.7. Read with expression. Think about what you

are reading.8. Read smoothly with a conversational tone.

T14

9. Read with sufficient speed and without hesitation.

10. Read with comprehension. Understand the meaning of what you are reading.

Use the first one or two minutes to read and discuss difficult words in the story. Some words will be listed in the Daily Guides to be displayed; others are listed throughout each story. Have stu-dents stand up when it is their turn to read. Call on them out of order to encourage them to pay close attention as others read. Make helpful comments as students read and have them reread sections as needed.

Comprehension is one of the most important reading skills to develop. To aid you in checking your students’ comprehension, questions and answers related to the daily reading are provided. The Reading 6 Answer Key contains the answers to the questions found at the end of the read-ing selections in the student reader. Refer to this Answer Key as you come to those questions in the student reader. Sometimes additional comprehen-sion questions related to the student reader are provided in the Daily Guides. Appendix C contains questions and answers related to Reading Compre-hension 6 Skill Sheets, Adventures in Greatness selec-tions, and weekly Bible reading selections. The Daily Guides will refer you to this appendix each time it is used. Help your students see why people in stories behave the way they do, and apply basic biblical principles to the stories. Be careful, how-ever, not to spend too much time discussing stories since this will result in less oral reading time.

Oral Reading GradesAn oral reading grade will need to be taken once

a week. This will be indicated in the Daily Guides. At intervals throughout the year, sample oral reading grades will be included to help you better determine the students’ grades. You may wish to preview these lessons.

Graded reading should be approximately one-half page of new reading. Look for these qualities in oral reading:

1. Accuracy: pronouncing words clearly and correctly without lip reading or sounding them aloud

2. Expression: having good voice inflection to make the story interesting and realistic; read-ing smoothly with good phrasing rather than reading word by word; having no pauses unless called for by punctuation or context; reading with appropriate speed and volume to be heard clearly

3. Comprehension: showing (by expression and ability to answer questions) a good un-derstanding of the selection being read

Expression is very important in oral reading. It should be given careful consideration when determining students’ reading grades. Follow these grading guidelines for oral reading:

Because there is usually considerable room for improvement, be cautious about giving unusually high grades at the beginning of the year. It is hard to show a student’s improvement if he has already received a high grade.

An Oral Reading Evaluation form such as the one shown will help to keep parents informed. This form may be reproduced and sent home once or twice each grading period to show students’ progress.

Speed and Comprehension ProgramTo help improve reading abilities, students will

do two types of special readings where they are timed for the reading and then quizzed over the material. The goal is to improve the rate of reading while sharpening comprehension skills.

Reading Comprehension 6 Skill Sheets are reading exercises in which students read a timed selection and then answers questions about it. Remove the Quiz Answer Key from the front of the book before giving the books to the students. Use this Answer Key when checking skill sheets. Skill sheets should be torn out before class time. Students will need a pen to answer the questions and a pencil to fill in the appropriate box on the graph (located on the inside front cover of Reading Comprehension 6 Skill Sheets book).

A (+, –) students who demonstrate excellent ability in all areas of oral readingB (+, –) students who demonstrate above average ability in oral reading but may need to work on one or two specific qualitiesC (+, –) students who demonstrate average ability in oral reading and may need to work on several specific qualitiesD (+) students who must sound out many words and must reread several times before new reading is acceptableF students who are having extreme difficulty in all areas of reading

T15

The first skill sheet will be completed with the video class. In the following lessons, the video teacher will give instructions and the time allot-ted to read and answer questions. An information screen will appear while students work. They should read the selection and answer the ques-tions within the allotted time. At the end of the allotted time, the video teacher will come back on to finish reading class.

During the first five weeks, two to three skill sheets will be completed each week. This concen-trated practice will aid in building reading speed. Beginning in Lesson 27, one skill sheet will be completed per week.

Skill sheets will be checked by the on–site teacher. Each question is worth 10 points; subtract total missed from 100.

The second type of timed reading is located in the speed and comprehension reader, Adventures in Greatness. Students will complete one timed reading per week beginning in Lesson 19. Remove all quizzes and the Quiz Answer Key, pp. 147–148, before giving the books to the students. Use this Answer Key when grading quizzes.

The video teacher will give instructions and the maximum time allotted to read the selec-tion. Once students begin reading, the video will display time cards to let students know how long they have been reading. The students should read the selection quickly and carefully before looking at the video to see how many minutes it took to finish. They will then close the book, write the number of minutes at the bottom of the quiz, and take the quiz without looking back at the selection in the book. Once they have finished the quiz, they can figure reading speed, or words per minute, by completing the division problem at the bottom of the quiz. At the end of the maximum reading time, the video teacher will come back on to complete any additional items included in that day’s reading class as needed.

Adventures in Greatness quizzes will be checked by the on-site teacher. Each question is worth 10 points; subtract total missed from 100. Use the Reading Record on Adventures in Greatness pp. 83–84 as an incentive to increase speed. Have students record reading speed and quiz grade on the chart. Caution students who read quickly but fail the comprehension quiz. Collect quiz and book after each timed reading.

Vocabulary and Comprehension QuizzesTo expand reading vocabulary and to aid in com-

prehension, students are given reading vocabulary words and then quizzed weekly over them. This weekly vocabulary study begins in Lesson 1 and helps prepare them for more advanced reading.

You will need to display the vocabulary words and definitions for students to copy once a week.

The lists are located in Appendix C. They will be reviewed daily.

The vocabulary and comprehension quizzes will be dictated by the video teacher. Be sure to remove the displayed words before the quiz. Vocabulary and comprehension quizzes will be checked by the on-site teacher. Answers are located in Appendix C. Each question is worth 10 points; subtract total missed from 100.

T16

Reading Contest (Optional)A reading contest may be held during two or

three weeks of school to help the students get into the habit of reading books for reasons other than school assignments. Lessons 130–145 are a possi-ble contest time. The contest will also promote the use of the library. Plan to send a letter to parents telling them how the contest works and the kind of books that may be read (see sample letter in Appendix C). Students will read each night from books of their choice. Parents will record the title of the book and the number of pages read. (Read-ing Record Cards are available from Abeka.) Each day, check to see what pages have been read. Find the total either daily or weekly. The student who reads the most pages may be presented with a certificate or award during a school assembly. You may also want to promote the contest with a dis-play in which each student has an object with his name on it moving toward a goal (examples: cars on a racetrack, sailboats or canoes in a lake, hot air balloons in the sky).

For Additional HelpIf a student is having difficulty with his reading,

have him circle the phonics special sounds (exam-ple: ay in pray) and mark the vowels in the words. Handbook for Reading and Basic Phonics Sounds CD from Abeka include a list and recording of these special sounds and provide practice in applying these special sounds.

If a student is having trouble with expression in his reading, you should read a paragraph or two to him so that he can imitate you. Do not be afraid to overemphasize in order for him to understand how to use expression.

If a student is having trouble with speed in his reading, you should have him read his assignment several times. This will also help a student who is choppy in his reading. Finger pointing to each word slows down the reading process.

If a student is having trouble with compre-hension, use the questions provided in the Daily Guides, Appendix C, and the Reading 6 Answer Key regularly to build comprehension skills. Look for additional opportunities outside of assigned reading to build comprehension in areas of your students’ particular interests.

LanguageLanguage class will consist of a review of previ-

ous lessons, a new lesson (including displayed examples), and practice exercises from student’s work-text. Answers for these exercises are on the corresponding work-text page of the Language C Answer Key.

Be prepared to help students master all con-cepts. Do not expect all students to understand a new concept the first time it is presented by the video teacher. Be assured that concepts are con-stantly reviewed on video. With continued review and practice, they will gain confidence and master the concepts. The back of the work-text contains a Handbook of Rules and Definitions for easy refer-ence or review.

Language homework is assigned approximately twice a week. Most homework assignments will be to complete an exercise in the work-text. These assignments will be done in pencil. Any assign-ment done on notebook paper will typically be done in pen.

Quizzes and TestsQuizzes are given frequently to check students’

knowledge of the rules and ability to use the rules correctly. Specific exercises in the Language C work-text have been set aside for use as quizzes. The answers are on the corresponding work-text page of the Language C Answer Key. Point values are given in the Daily Guides. Other quizzes are in

Language C Quizzes & Tests. Answers and point values are in the Language C Quiz & Test Key. A few oral quizzes will also be given. Answers and point values for oral quizzes are in Appendix D. Subtract the number of points missed from 100 for all quiz-zes.

Tests are located in Language C Quizzes & Tests. Beginning in Lesson 13, language tests are sched-uled approximately every three weeks. Answers and point values for each question are in the Language C Quiz & Test Key. The number of points missed on each test is always subtracted from 100.

Writing Skill DevelopmentThroughout the year, several writing opportu-

nities such as creative writing assignments, book reports, and a library research report will be given to help students sharpen their writing skills. Your feedback will be especially helpful when composi-tions are rewritten for improvement.

Creative WritingCreative writing, which emphasizes observation

skills and word power, is taught in Lessons 14–23, 102–107, and 134–139 during Language. The purposes of teaching creative writing are manifold. Creative writing reinforces language concepts such as punctuation, capitalization, word usage, sen-tence structure, and story development. Creative writing also helps students develop the ability

T17

to think clearly, critically, and creatively. It allows students to convey their thoughts and use their imagination.

Students will use Creative Writing as a companion text to God’s Gift of Language C. The video teacher will guide the students’ thinking by helping them begin each creative writing assignment. Encour-age, help, and comment as they write the first draft. Help your students find and correct errors in what they have written. Remind them to write in com-plete sentences using correct capitalization, punc-tuation, and spelling. Do all you can to help the students learn to appreciate and enjoy words. You want them to develop the ability to express their thoughts clearly and creatively. Encourage them to sharpen their minds and use their imaginations.

Provide consistent feedback as you evaluate your students’ creative writing ability. Read selections on a regular basis and mark them with helpful com-ments or one of the following:x+ (above average)x (average)x– (below average)While creative writing assignments are not

designed to require formal grading, you could use the following suggested grading guidelines to provide graded feedback as you deem beneficial to your students:

Content (80 points)1. Are the thoughts in good order?2. Does it have a good beginning?3. Is the paper interesting?4. Are ideas or words repeated?5. Does it have a good conclusion?6. Has the student written a sufficient amount

to show this is sixth grade work?Mechanics (20 points)1. Penmanship (slant, formation, neatness)2. Margins3. Title4. Paragraph indentation5. Spelling6. Capitalization7. Punctuation8. Run-on sentences and fragments9. Diction (slang, abbreviations, etc.)

JournalsKeeping a journal is the first step to becoming

a good writer. A journal, a written record of some-one’s life, preserves on paper the events, words, and ideas of a writer.

Many writers depend heavily on their own jour-nals for ideas and events to write about. Journals may include lessons you learn as you read God’s Word, observations, memories from travel, etc.

Throughout the year, your students will write many compositions, play several word games, and compose poetry of certain styles and topics. Have them save these creative writing pages (general entries, poetry, Mind Stretchers, etc.) to include in a personal journal. Near the end of the year, have them compile these pages and make a decorative cover for the journal. Staple pages together or use a three-hole punch and tie pages together with ribbon / yarn to make an attractive booklet.

Read journal entries on a regular basis and mark them with helpful comments or one of the following:x+ (above average)x (average)x– (below average)Putting a sticker or star beside a well-done entry

will also encourage students as they develop their creative writing skill. Consistent interaction will help students enjoy journal entries and take their work more seriously.

Book ReportsBook reports help improve reading compre-

hension skills and give an opportunity to practice grammar skills. Students will read seven books throughout the year. You will want to include vari-ous types of books—fiction, nonfiction, Christian fiction, biography, and Christian biography. The video teacher will give instructions for each report. The first book report will be on Message of the Mountain. For the Message of the Mountain report, students will use the Short Form supplied in Appen-dix D. Billy Sunday will be read for the second report. Following instructions given on video, the students will write the first long book report of the year.

For remaining reports, guide your students toward wholesome reading materials on an appro-priate level when the Daily Guides assign them. Abeka has made available a series of excellent books suitable for remaining book reports. They include classics, fiction, and biographies. (See the Abeka catalog or website for available titles.) Other help-ful resources include libraries or electronic books. Books should be challenging but not too difficult. Remind the students that they should read the

T18

whole book. Books should be at least 100 pages in length. Check on the students’ reading progress during the two weeks before each report will be written.

The following is the schedule for book report due dates:

1. Lesson 26 Message of the Mountain (short form)

2. Lesson 46 Billy Sunday (long report)3. Lesson 61 book on research paper topic (oral

book report)4. Lesson 80 historical biography (short form)5. Lesson 103 Christian fiction (short form)6. Lesson 126 Christian biography (long report)7. Lesson 162 fiction (long report)

Short Form Book ReportsStudents will use the reproducible short form

included in Appendix D for three of the reports. Use the following grading guidelines to evaluate a short form book report and record as two quiz grades:

Section 1 10 pointsSection 2 10 pointsSection 3 5 pointsSection 4 10 pointsSection 5 20 pointsSection 6 35 points (Student must read the entire book to receive 35 points.)

Mechanics 10 points (spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization)

You may wish to deduct 5 points if the book report is turned in late.

Long Book ReportsStudents will do three long book reports.

Use the following grading guidelines to evaluate a long book report and record as a test grade:

Bibliographical Information 10 pointsSummary 15 pointsBenefit to Reader 10 pointsPassage Worth Remembering 10 pointsBest Thing about the Book 5 pointsStatement 35 points (Student must read the entire book to receive 35 points.)

Mechanics 15 points (spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization)

You may wish to deduct 5 points if the book report is turned in late.

Oral Book ReportsDuring the first semester, students will give one

oral book report. A grading sheet is included in Appendix D. Use the following grading guidelines to evaluate an oral book report and record as a test grade:

Note cards 10 pointsContent 25 pointsPoise and Volume 15 pointsStatement 35 points (Student must read the entire book to receive 35 points.)

Word Usage 15 pointsYou may want to deduct 5 points if the book report is turned in late.

Library Research ReportIn sixth grade, students have the opportunity

to learn about formal writing by completing the Library Research Report about an important his-torical event in American history. The steps are pre-sented logically, and careful attention is given to the fact that students are still learning the elements of writing. Step by step, students are taught skills in paragraphing, outlining, compiling bibliographi-cal information, summarizing, and organizing.

The Library Research Report is introduced in Lesson 48 with each student choosing a topic. See Language C p. 87, for a suggested list of historical events. In Lesson 52, students will need to have a nonfiction book on their topic. An oral book report is assigned during the process of learning to write a 500–600-word Library Research Report. Begin-ning with Lesson 57, students will be using these research skills to take notes, make bibliography cards, and actually write a research report.

Your involvement in this project is essential. You will need to closely supervise each step for the students. Procedures for completing note cards and making bibliography cards are given on Language C pp. 88–91. Lessons 57–71 introduce and explain the research paper work for the day; then the video is turned off and students work under your supervision. You may wish to preview these lessons or view them with your students each day in order to know what they will be doing. Assist as needed with proper format, content, etc. The final report is due in Lesson 76.

The Student and Teacher Research Report Assignment Schedule forms are located in Appen-dix D. The Teacher Research Report Assignment Schedule lists the lesson deadlines for each stage of the research report. You should change the lesson numbers on the Teacher Research Report form to days and dates (i.e. Tuesday, March 6) for the students to use when they fill out the Student Research Report Assignment Schedule in Lesson 52.

T19

Use the checklist (from Language C p. 110) included in the student’s report for allotting points for the Library Research Report. Subtract the total points missed from 100 and record as two test grades. Because this is a lengthy report, you may want to take off only 1/8 point for each mechanical error.


the following way:¼ quiz average 96½ test average 94 94¼ nine-weeks exam +96 380÷4=95

For Additional HelpIf a student needs additional help in language,

review concepts he needs to master. Have a bal-ance of oral drill, written practice, and fun games. Praise the student as he works hard to make progress.

PenmanshipEach penmanship lesson is introduced and

demonstrated on video. Stress neat penman-ship not only on tests, but also on every piece of written work. A sample Cursive Formation Guide and a slant guide are included in Appendix E of this manual. Students also have these guides in Creative Writing.

Creative Writing pages are perforated for easy use. Have students remove a page before working on it and then save it in Creative Writing so they can work the back of the page when it is called for on video.

It is important that you emphasize and check daily that students have good writing position. Writing position includes how a student sits, holds the pen, and slants the paper.

1. Students should sit tall but relaxed with forearms resting on the desk or table. They should lean slightly forward, but not be slumped over the desk or table. One hand should hold the paper.

2. The pen should be held between the thumb and the pointer finger, letting it rest on the third finger. Pen should be grasped where the tapered part of the pen begins, with the middle of the pen resting between the top two knuckles of the pointer finger. (See pictures in the front of Creative Writing.)

3. The paper should be slanted because cursive strokes are slanted. If a student is right-handed, the paper is slanted to the left. If a student is left-handed, the paper is slanted to the right.

4. A slant guide is included in Creative Writing to assist new students with slant of letters. When new students place the slant guide under their paper, they will be able to see just how much each letter should slant. All letters will not match the slanted lines exactly, but will be close enough for students to keep their slant consistent. The slant guide can be kept in a pocket of the binder and should be used only as long as needed.

Strive for these penmanship goals:1. Correct formation2. Uniform slant3. Uniform size—uppercase letters should be

¾-space tall and lowercase letters are all proportionally smaller.

4. Correct spacing5. Observing margins6. Letters touching the baseline7. No needless retracing8. Good writing habits—posture, paper posi-

tion, pen position9. Best effort in all written work

10. Overall neatness


T20

Have the students follow these penmanship guidelines:

1. All writing should be done with blue or black non-erasable ballpoint pens.

2. All lowercase letters except d, p, and t should be half the size of uppercase letters; lower-case d, p, and t should be ¾ as tall as upper-case letters.

3. Capitals should be joined to small letters in a word, except for D, F, I, O, P, V, and W.

4. The student should practice good writing position.

5. Writing movement should originate from the shoulder. Warm-up strokes to help with this movement begin in Lesson 1.

6. The average space between words should be the same size as a lowercase m.

7. Tails (the part of the letter below the line) are made by making a straight line down, then curving upward.

8. All small letters end with a short upswing.9. Be very sure the parts of a letter to be re-

traced are retraced. Never pick the pen up until the word or letter is completed.

Warm-ups / Key StrokesA warm-up exercise using ovals or slants and

key strokes will be included in each day’s lesson, except on test days. Explain to your students that practicing ovals and slants will relax and loosen the shoulder, arm, wrist, and finger muscles. Relaxed muscles will enable them to write more smoothly. Remind them not to grip their pens too tightly. Watch to see that they move their arms from the shoulder, resting forearms lightly on the desk to achieve a flowing movement. Shoulder move-ment prevents “writer’s cramp” caused by finger and wrist movements. Key strokes will help in the formation of that day’s letters and words.

Daily Penmanship PracticeThroughout the first semester, most penman-

ship practice is completed using the penmanship skill pages included in the Creative Writing text. Each day, your students will be assigned to com-plete penmanship practice on a page from Creative Writing or to perfect the previous day’s practice on notebook paper. Mark the Progress Report boxes which are included on Creative Writing pages. Some days your students will be assigned to copy their spelling list or complete another writing activity for penmanship practice.

During the second semester, all penmanship class practice is completed on notebook paper in a variety of exercises that will add interest to the

penmanship lesson. Words and sentences from these exercises are included in the Daily Guides for your reference. With the exception of dicta-tion exercises, you may want to display practice exercises to give your students ample time to copy each assignment. The Daily Guides will also tell you when the same exercise is used for more than one lesson. Several of those exercises used occasionally in the first semester and frequently in the second semester are described in the paragraphs to follow.

DictationWord and sentence dictation will be included

periodically. The video teacher will dictate words and sentences on video. This exercise will build listening skills. Dictated words and sentences are provided in the Daily Guides for your reference as you check your students’ penmanship papers.

Difficult ConnectionsSince students often have trouble with the

joining of some letters, several lessons will provide additional practice with these difficult connections. After the connections are demonstrated on video, have your students practice the letters, then the words containing the difficult connections. The students will then write the “Why is it—” question on their papers.

Fun to Know / WriteThese exercises include a variety of material

such as jokes, fun facts, and dialogue. Have your students recopy these exercises, improving forma-tion as they go. In some lessons, they will spend a second day perfecting the work done the day before.

Alliterated SentencesThese sentences are similar to Fun to

Know / Write, but draw more on students’ creativity. Have your students write a row of each capi-tal and small letter and copy the sample sentence for each letter. Watch for difficult letter combina-tions and assist them as needed. As time allows, let them write their own sentence for the letter. As with other exercises, sometimes a second day will be spent perfecting the work done the day before. As time allows, challenge them to come up with another original sentence.

On days that students copy Alliterated Sen-tences, the video teacher may assign additional practice ideas for variety that are not necessarily included in the Daily Guides. This supplemental practice can be completed as time allows, or you can assign your own ideas for sufficient practice. The most important thing is for students to com-plete sufficient writing practice in key areas each day.

T21

Suggested Writing CommentsListed are some comments that could be used

as cursive writing papers are graded. Avoid using general statements such as “Neat paper” at the top of a page unless the paper is truly neat overall. Be careful not to overemphasize comments for improvement by using exclamation points after them; exclamation points are more appropriate after praise. Students will enjoy seeing their best letters marked with a smile, a heart, or a star. This lets them know that you have seen their good work. Try to mark two positive areas and two areas needed for improvement on each paper.

Positive CommentsPerfect!Neat n!Love that u!You did your best, (student’s name).Great row!These humps look great!This one looks better!So nice!Your name looks great!Great, you didn’t pick up your pen!Super connections!Good slant!This is my favorite letter, word,

row, etc. . . . !You took your time.Now you’ve got it!That’s fantastic!You did an outstanding job.That’s your best ever.That’s exactly right!I’m proud of you.Congratulations!That’s superb!Terrific!You’re getting better.I like that!You do such a good job.You worked very hard.I know you can do it.Hooray for you!I can tell you’ve been practicing.WOW!Super try!Way to go!You did that all by yourself!

Comments on How to ImproveTrace back around carefully.Trace back up carefully.Be sure to trace the letters.Put more / less space between words.Retrace carefully.Slant n a little more.Be careful not to crowd your letters.Trace slowly and carefully.Connect your letters carefully.Be sure to slant your letters.Check your formation. (with a sample)Don’t pick up your pen until you’re done.Make n a little wider, narrower, skinnier, fatter,

taller, shorter, etc.Remember to touch the line.

TestsBeginning in Lesson 5, penmanship tests are

scheduled once every five lessons. The first test is given for practice and graded to let your students see how they are doing, but is not recorded. Tests for the first eighty-five lessons should be removed from the middle of Creative Writing (pp. 29–32). Students will copy the tests in cursive writing on notebook paper. Students may not use slant guides during penmanship tests.

To prepare your students for the grading of penmanship in daily work in the second semester, you may want to occasionally give a penmanship grade on one of the students’ daily classwork or homework papers during the first semester. This would not replace the graded tests during the first semester and would not need to be recorded at all until called for in the second semester.

In Lesson 85, the last printed test in the Creative Writing text is given to students. Every five les-sons thereafter, plan to grade a homework assign-ment or classwork for a penmanship test grade. Although the Daily Guides suggest grading spelling homework, you may wish to add variety by grad-ing homework or classwork from another subject.

Some samples of graded penmanship tests are located in Appendix E of this manual; the Daily Guides will let you know which sample graded penmanship tests are located there.

To grade penmanship tests, consider these elements: formation, slant, size, spacing, margins, and overall appearance. Use the following scale as a guide:

A, A- All of above qualities are consistently evident.B+, B, B– Most qualities are evident, with few minor errors.C+, C, C– Some qualities are evident, with several mistakes.D+, D The paper has many mistakes.F The paper is unsatisfactory.

T22

Because there is usually considerable room for improvement, be cautious about giving unusually high grades at the beginning of the year since it is hard to show a student’s improvement if he has already received a high grade.

Write simple comments, mentioning something positive and something needed for improvement. These comments will give the students a better understanding of the grade given.

Averaging GradesThe quarterly (nine-weeks) average is calculated by

averaging the penmanship test grades.The following conversions are used when averaging:

A 97 C+ 83A– 95 C 80B+ 92 C– 78B 90 D+ 75B– 86 D 72 F 69






For Additional HelpFor a student learning cursive for the first time,

keep the formation guide from Creative Writing handy for easy reference. A slant guide is also included in the book to assist with slant of letters. When placed under notebook paper, the slant guide helps the student see just how much each letter should slant. All letters will not match the slanted lines exactly, but will be close enough for him to keep his slant consistent. The slant guide can be kept in a pocket of the binder and should be used only as long as needed. To help with con-sistency in other areas of good penmanship, offer frequent reminders of areas that need improve-ment and include examples of that element. If a student is not giving his best effort to make prog-ress, work may need to be redone to encourage better effort in the future. Recognize even small improvements in a way that will encourage your student to strive for his best.

Spelling / Vocabulary / PoetryThe video teacher will introduce a new lesson of

spelling / vocabulary words each week. The video teacher will explain to students

how to practice their spelling / vocabulary words using the “say, spell, say” method. The students should learn how to spell each word correctly and memorize the definition of each vocabulary word (indicated by bolded definition). Encourage your students to actively participate with the video class as they practice daily.

A variety of exercises are included in the Spelling, Vocabulary, & Poetry 6 text to be completed in class or for homework. Students should write answers for these exercises on notebook paper or in the book as directed. Answers for these exercises are in Appendix F. These exercises should be checked but not graded.

Students will be writing their spelling list three days a week for homework. On spelling trial test days, if a student does not make 100% on his trial test, he will copy the list and write any words missed on the trial test ten times each. This addi-tional practice is intended to help students succeed on the actual test in the following lesson. Adjust as needed based on the students’ progress.

Spelling papers and trial tests should be set up using a standard format. The arrangement of the material on the page will change as the number of words in the list changes. Sample spelling papers have been provided in Appendix F in the back of this manual. The video teacher will show students how to set up their spelling papers. The formatting can be adjusted as needed throughout the year to accommodate changes to the lists and what will work best for your students.

PoetryA few minutes will be spent on poetry every

day except for test days. In the back of Spelling, Vocabulary, & Poetry 6, there are several poems which the students will memorize throughout the year. The video teacher will lead the students in reciting the poems on video. Make sure your stu-dents are reciting the poems with expression along with the video class. You do not have to grade the memory work, although you may wish to have him recite the poems for you.

TestsDays 4 and 5 of each list are devoted to testing.

On spelling trial tests and tests, the students will

T23

be asked to write original and dictated sentences which contain spelling / vocabulary words.

The first spelling trial test will be given in Les- son 7. Trial tests are dictated on video by the video teacher and taken on notebook paper. A copy of each trial test, showing the order of the spell-ing words given, is provided in Appendix F of this manual. Trial tests need to be graded on the same day the trial test is taken. If a student has a perfect paper on the trial test, record the 100% test grade. He will not have homework that night or take the test in the next lesson.

Printed tests are included in Spelling, Vocabu-lary, & Poetry 6 Tests. Answers and point values are included in the Spelling, Vocabulary, & Poetry 6 Test Key. A spelling grade should be recorded for each test.

Averaging GradesThe quarterly (nine-weeks) average is calculated by

averaging the spelling test grades.






For Additional HelpTo assist a student who is struggling in spelling,

have the student mark the phonics special sounds and other “tricky” letters in the words (where appli-cable) and provide additional practice writing the challenging words each day. It may also be helpful to dictate the words for the student to write two days before the test.

HistorySixth grade students study New World history

using the New World History & Geography textbook along with the Maps & Activities book. Each day, a lesson is taught on video, and the students are given time during the history independent work time to read and complete activities.

New material can best be taught when it is built upon what is already known. Therefore, history classes begin with review. Because of the impor-tance of review, you should make sure that your students respond with the video students to the video teacher’s review questions.

Two of the most important keys to students’ success in history are (1) listening to and thinking about what the video teacher says and (2) reading the textbook thoroughly. In the Daily Guides, the Procedure column lists a weekly reminder to have students finish reading / reviewing pages taught daily as needed. The reading will always begin on video and will often be completed on video. Any time it is not completed, the video teacher will remind the students to finish the reading for themselves. Reviewing by periodically rereading the daily pages helps build comprehension and retention. Ask your students brief comprehension questions as they read. Comprehension Check questions are intended to be answered aloud for reinforcement following video instruction.

Each student will have the New World History & Geography Maps & Activities book. The activities contained in this book will be completed in class, during independent work time, or for homework.

Work done in this book should be checked but not graded. Answers for each activity are included in the New World History & Geography Maps & Activi-ties Key. The Maps & Activities book along with the Geography Handbook in the back of the New World History & Geography textbook will assist your student in learning geography.

To enrich your students’ knowledge and appre-ciation for their heritage as Americans, students will recite and review chosen documents related to the history of America at the beginning of each history class. Each document will be practiced on video. Have students recite the document with the video class. Although students will not be graded on document memorization, you may wish to set aside a time for them to recite the documents to you.

History homework is assigned two or three times per week. These assignments may include reading portions of the text. This is an important part of the homework. Chapter Checkups should be answered on notebook paper. Answers are located in New World History & Geography Answer Key. Maps & Activities skills sheets should be completed in the book. Any incorrect homework answers should be corrected as the video teacher goes over the homework and saved to use when studying for tests.

Geography ProjectBeginning in Lesson 25, sixth graders work on a

geography map project during the first semester. Each student will choose any country, other than

T24

the country he lives in, and make a poster-size map of the country showing the major rivers, cities, mountains, and resources. They should submit an index card with their choice of country in Lesson 30. The final project is due in Lesson 51.

The poster should include the following:1. Name of country prominent2. Large outline of country’s shape3. Major geographical features labeled (rivers,

mountains, etc.)4. Products and natural resources shown5. Key to explain symbols used6. Creativity shown

Use the Geography Project Grading Sheet in Appendix G to evaluate the poster and record as a test grade. Projects grades are typically high as long as the requirements are followed.

Patriotic Poster (optional)During the second semester, your students can

make an optional three-dimensional patriotic proj-ect. Lessons 101–117 are a possible contest time. You may wish to consider looking for an opportu-nity for a poster contest.

Suggested Guidelines:1. A theme associated with American history2. May make use of any media3. Student’s own work

Suggested Judging Criteria:1. An obvious historical theme 2. Use of media (projects must be three-

dimensional)3. Originality4. Neatness / attractiveness5. Student’s own work

Encourage students to do their best. The pur-pose of this project is to see what the students can do on their own. You may wish to have the stu-dents complete a sketch of their posters near the beginning of the project.

Geography BowlTo introduce students to a variety of facts and

teach them to study on their own, time is set aside on video for a contest called the Geography Bowl. Students may participate by studying the assigned topic listed in the Daily Guides. The questions and the rules are explained in the front of the Geogra-phy Bowl Quiz Team Book. After the video lesson is turned off, you can continue to ask your students questions. The first competition is in Lesson 95, where a short video is given to demonstrate the beginning of the Geography Bowl. Geography Bowls are scheduled in the Daily Guides for Lessons 105, 119, 125, 134, and 144.

Current EventsTen Current Event days are scheduled through-

out the year to help your students develop an awareness of the world around them. The first Current Event will be completed with the video teacher in Lesson 46. Your students will need to select a current article from a newspaper, maga-zine, or reliable internet source. You may wish to consider assigning specific topics such as local, state, national, international, human interest, etc. Encourage them to find something that interests them and that they would like to learn more about. Avoid inappropriate news events that may be currently prominent. The article should be neatly cut out. After becoming familiar with the article, students should prepare a 4” x 6” card with the fol-lowing information: his name, source of the article, topic of the article, and three important facts about the article.

The following is the correct setup of the note card:

On the days that Current Events are due, there will be several sample presentations on the video. After the students have watched the video for that lesson, they should prepare to share their Current Events. When called upon, they should bring their article to you and use the note card to report on the topic. The note card should be turned in when they are finished. Current Events are not graded until Lesson 106; however, you should give com-ments to help your student improve the next time, along with one of the following marks:x+ (above average)x (average)x– (below average)Beginning in Lesson 106, Current Event presen-

tations should be graded as a quiz grade. Current Event grades are typically high, based on follow-ing directions, a basic understanding of the article chosen, and a smooth presentation. Sample grades will be provided in Lesson 106.

Quizzes and TestsA quiz is given approximately once a week and

chapter tests about every two to three weeks. Quizzes and tests to accompany the text are included in New World History & Geography Quizzes

and New World History & Geography Tests. Answers and point values are included in the New World History & Geography Quiz Key and the New World History & Geography Test Key. For all grading, sub-tract from 100 the total number of points missed.

Quizzes and tests are introduced on video. Turn off the video while students complete the quiz or test. Once students are finished, they will give the quiz or test to you for grading. Following a quiz, turn the video back on to complete history with the class.

Throughout the year, six history homework quiz-zes are dictated by the video teacher. These quiz-zes are taken on notebook paper. A copy of the quizzes, answers, and grading scale are included in Appendix G. These quizzes are intended to keep students faithful with homework and to check their comprehension of the material read. Students should not know about these quizzes ahead of time.


the following way:¼ quiz average 96½ test average 92 92¼ nine-weeks exam +88 368÷4=92






For Additional HelpIf a student is not doing well in history, he

should spend extra time studying the Maps & Activities book as well as the Comprehension Checks and Chapter Checkup questions. Answers to the questions are found in the New World His-tory & Geography Answer Key. Retention is often increased by answering questions in complete sentences.

Science / HealthThe science text, Observing God’s World, will

be taught for the first three quarters (nine weeks). Beginning with Lesson 125, the health text, Choos-ing Good Health, will be taught for the last quarter (nine weeks). Each day, a lesson is taught on video, and students are given time during the science and health independent work times to read from the textbook and complete activities.

As with history, new material can best be taught when it is built upon what is already known. There-fore, science and health classes begin with review. Because of the importance of review, you should make sure that students respond with the video students to the video teacher’s review questions.

Two of the most important keys to students’ success in science and health are (1) listening to and thinking about what the video teacher says and (2) reading the textbook thoroughly. In the Daily Guides, the Procedure column lists a weekly reminder to have the students finish read-ing / reviewing pages taught daily as needed. The reading will always begin on video and will often be completed on video. Any time it is not com-pleted, the video teacher will remind the students to finish the reading for themselves. Reviewing by

periodically rereading the daily pages helps build comprehension and retention. Ask your students brief comprehension questions as they read. Com-prehension Check and Quick Checkup questions are intended to be answered aloud for reinforce-ment following video instruction.

For science class, each student will have an Observing God’s World Quizzes & Worksheets book. In health class, the students will complete work-sheets from Choosing Good Health Quizzes, Tests, & Worksheets book. The review activities contained in these books will be completed in class, during independent work time, or for homework. The stu-dents will use colored pencils for some worksheets. Worksheets should be checked but not graded. Answers for each science worksheet are included in the Observing God’s World Quiz & Worksheet Key. See the Choosing Good Health Quiz, Test, & Work-sheet Key for answers to health worksheets.

Student Observer, Eyewitness Reporter, and Sci-ence Museum are listed in the Daily Guides if you would like to do any of these activities with your students. One of the activities, the Adopt-a-Tree Project on Observing God’s World p. 44, is a graded assignment.


T26

Science and health homework is assigned approximately two times per week. These assign-ments often include reading or rereading portions of the text. This is an important part of the home-work. Chapter Checkups should be answered in complete sentences on notebook paper. Answers are located in Observing God’s World Answer Key (for science) and in Choosing Good Health Answer Key (for health). Science and health worksheets will also be completed as homework. Any incor-rect homework answers should be corrected as the video teacher goes over the homework and saved to use when studying for tests.

Quizzes and TestsA quiz is given approximately once a week and

chapter tests about every three weeks. All science quizzes and tests are located in the Observing God’s World Quizzes & Worksheets book and the Observ-ing God’s World Tests book. All health quizzes and tests are in the Choosing Good Health Quizzes, Tests, & Worksheets book. Answers and point values are provided in the Observing God’s World Quiz & Work-sheet Key and the Observing God’s World Test Key (for science), and in the Choosing Good Health Quiz, Test, & Worksheet Key (for health). For all grading, subtract the total number of points missed from 100.

Quizzes and tests are introduced on video. Turn off the video while students complete the quiz or test. Once students are finished, they will give the quiz or test to you for grading. Following a quiz, turn the video back on to complete science or health with the class.

Throughout the year, ten science and health homework quizzes are dictated by the video teacher. These quizzes are taken on notebook paper. A copy of the quizzes, answers, and grading scale are included in Appendix H. These quizzes are intended to keep students faithful with home-work and to check comprehension of the material read. Students should not know about these quiz-zes ahead of time.

Adopt-a-Tree ProjectDuring the study of trees in Chapter 1, the stu-

dents will complete the project on Observing God’s World p. 44. The project, a poster and oral report, will be explained on video beginning in Lesson 12 and will be due in Lesson 21. You may wish to preview Lesson 12 to familiarize yourself with the basic guidelines. A variety of tips will be given throughout the lessons until the project is com-pleted. Students will be taught on video how to compile key facts on an index card to help them give a smooth and informative report. You may want to give due dates for completing particular portions of the project.

The poster should include the following:1. Common / Scientific name 2. Leaf, twig, etc.3. Picture(s) 4. Circumference 5. Bark rubbing 6. Written report

Sample reports will be given on video in Les- sons 21–22. You may wish to preview these lessons for sample grades. Use the Science Project Grading Sheet in Appendix H to evaluate the Adopt-a-Tree Project and record as a quiz grade.

Astronomy ReportThe Astronomy Report will be introduced in

Lesson 86 and will be given in Lessons 89–90. Provide students with research materials (could include a dictionary, a set of encyclopedias, books relating to the chosen topics, or internet resources). Suggested topics for the Astronomy Report include man on the moon, Voyagers 1 and 2, the space shuttle, living on a space station, or space probes. Any other topics should be approved ahead of time by you.

For the written report, students should write in their own words one or two paragraphs containing seven to ten facts. Three key ideas should be writ-ten on a note card for oral presentations.

For the oral report, each student should use his note card with three facts to give his one-minute presentation (see below for sample note card).

Sample Note Card

You may wish to preview Lessons 89–90 for sample grades. You may want to have the stu-dent’s written report in hand as the oral report is being given. Use the Science Project Grading Sheet in Appendix H to evaluate the Astronomy Report and record as a quiz grade.

See Appendix I for additional information about grad-ing and recording.

For Additional HelpIf a student is not doing well in science or

health, he should spend extra time studying the worksheets as well as the Comprehension Checks / Quick Checkups and Chapter Checkup questions in the text. Answers for these questions are found in the Observing God’s World Answer Key (for science) and the Choosing Good Health Answer Key (for health). Retention is often increased by answering questions in complete sentences.

Independent Work TimeApproximately 20 minutes each day is sched-

uled for Independent Work Time. This gives stu-dents a chance to finish any remaining daily work and start on homework. Students should plan

to complete at least one subject of homework during this time. Help students develop the skills needed to work diligently during independent work time.

ArtThe Daily Guides will include art time once a

week. Art time provides a delightful variety of art activities and projects organized by month. The art project instructions and list of materials needed are given in Art C. A Plan-Ahead Supply List is included in the front of Art C. The Daily Guides will indicate the name(s) and page(s) of the project(s) scheduled for that lesson. Up to five minutes of instruction are given on video to help

the students get started, but you will need to help them complete their projects.

Check Art C ahead of time to see what materials are needed. You may wish to preview the video before class to acquaint yourself with the instruc-tions.

Art projects are not graded. Students can finish longer, more detailed projects during another activity time later in the week, if needed. You may choose to save some projects for display.

Activity TimeExcept for art instructions, activity time is not

included on video. This is your time for various activities with your students. Suggested activities include music class, physical education, spelling bees, library visits, etc.

For a spelling bee, you may choose to use Spelling Challenges. This helpful resource contains lists of words that can be used to challenge your students to improve spelling, increase vocabulary, and develop a love for words.

For a once-a-week music class, you may choose to use Songs We Enjoy 6 songbook and / or the Songs We Enjoy 6 CD. Throughout the songbook, you will find enrichment ideas for teaching new songs, historical and cultural information, defini-tions for unfamiliar words, and ideas for motions and props. The accompanying sing-along CD will assist you in learning unfamiliar songs. Spelling Challenges and Songs We Enjoy 6 CD and songbook as well as a music theory program are available from Abeka.


T28

Motivational IdeasThe following ideas may assist you in encourag-

ing your students to do their best each day: � Be sure students know what is expected of

them for each school day. It is important to be consistent with your set procedures.

� Record good or improved behavior or work by placing stickers on a chart. Have a reward for earning a certain number of stickers.

� Have a box filled with small rewards or spe-cial activities written on slips of paper. Allow a student to choose one item from the box when work is completed well.

� Have a special pen (a decorated pen, a sparkle pen, or a colored pen) that can be used for daily work if a student has tried his best in other subjects.

� If a student is taking too long on his work, set a time limit for the assignment or test. At the end of the time limit, collect the assignment to be finished at a later time.

� If a student normally hurries through assign-ments, set a time limit and be sure that he works on an assignment for the entire allot-ted time.

Tips for SuccessIdeas for additional help have been given for

each subject. This is a summary of general ideas to help ensure a successful year.

The video lessons are the most beneficial when your students participate with the class in all oral work.

Encourage your students to use the video class review, the textbook, and class notes to prepare for tests. Do not use test questions or paraphras-ing of test questions to guide test preparation.

Suggestions for reviewing with your students: � Call out terms or definitions; have your stu-

dents give the corresponding facts. � Read the rules or definitions from the book,

omitting a key word or phrase; have your students supply the missing word(s).

� Have your students prepare drill cards with a question on one side and the answer on the other. Use these to call out or show them the question; they give the answer.

� Read a grammar rule (Language class) and have them give a sentence example for the rule.

� Develop practice problems or exercises that reinforce the subject skills.

This introductory information has given you much to consider as you prepare for a successful year. You do not have to remember everything you have read since the Daily Guides will refer you back to the information when needed throughout the year. With these tools, you are well prepared to help your students accomplish their goals one day at a time.

Leading Students to Christ

As a Christian teacher, it is a humbling privilege to introduce our students to God who created them, loves them, and desires to have a personal relationship with them. Perhaps you have wondered if your students are capable of understanding their need for a personal relationship with God. The biblical account of Jesus’ earthly ministry records that He intentionally spent time with the children who came to Him. Jesus knew that a child’s natural humility and curiosity make him receptive to acknowledging his need for God.

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer [permit] the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. –Mark 10:14

Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. –Matthew 18:3–4

Teaching our students about their need for God comes in the form of Bible lessons, as well as in day-to-day interactions. Therefore, we must be just as prepared for this instruction on the playground or at the lunch table as we are in the classroom. Because the decision to trust God for forgiveness is the most important decision of a lifetime, we must make this instruction a priority and prayerfully rely on the Holy Spirit to do His work in the heart of the child.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. –1 Peter 3:15

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? –Romans 10:14

God’s Word clearly explains our need for a personal relationship with Him. Following these biblical truths gives us a framework for communicating effectively with our students.

God is holy, but we are sinful. Children need to know that the loving God who created us is perfect and just. Their humility will allow them to see that our wrongdoing (sin) keeps us from having a personal relationship with Him.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us . . . –Ephesians 2:4

There is none holy as the Lord. –1 Samuel 2:2

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. –Romans 3:10

Our sin deserves punishment which Jesus took for us. Children grasp the concept of wrongdoing and consequences, as well as the need for forgiveness. Help them see that Jesus (God the Son) who was perfect took the eternal punishment we deserve by dying on the cross, making God’s forgiveness available to us. His resurrection demonstrated His power over sin and death, making eternal life possible for us.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. –Romans 3:23

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. –Romans 5:8

A4 Appendix A—Bible

The Abeka Salvation Series Flash-a-Card lessons explain God’s desire and plan for a relationship with us and will help you teach these truths simply to your students. Flash-a-Card lessons in other series will provide additional opportunities to teach these truths. At the end of lessons that naturally lend themselves to a decision to trust God’s forgiveness, you may want to give an invitation for individual students to make this decision. Sample wording is provided on the next page for your consideration. Whether you follow this wording or use your own, the importance is in proper instruction based on biblical truth. Be cautious of the tendency to use grown-up words that would be meaningless to children because of a lack of context.

While we recognize that a child’s decision to trust God for forgiveness is a work that only the Holy Spirit can accomplish, what a privilege to be the human vessel that God will use to guide a child to a personal relationship with Him. An understanding of these truths opens the door to a lifetime of learning to love and serve God—all because He first loved us!

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations . . . Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. –Matthew 28:19–20

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. –John 3:16

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. –John 11:25

Trusting God’s forgiveness begins a relationship with Him that will last forever. With an understanding of the need for forgiveness and God’s plan for providing it, each child now faces the personal decision to trust God’s plan.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. –Acts 16:31

When a child expresses interest in making this wonderful life-changing decision, you can simply talk through those truths to see if he understands or has more questions. When he is ready, encourage him to tell God through prayer what he has learned and what he wants to do (recognizes God’s love and perfection, admits his sin and need for forgiveness, believes that Christ’s death and resurrection makes that forgiveness possible,

and commits to putting his trust in God for forgiveness and eternal life). If he is not sure what to say, you can guide him with key words or phrases that are age-appropriate.

Because God’s plan is simple, doubt can creep into our minds later. Help the child be prepared for this by explaining that his confidence is in his decision to trust what God did for him, not in the exact words of his prayer or anything else he can do. Help him see that this trust is a one-time commitment, just as Christ’s death on the cross was a one-time event. Explain that once he places his trust in God, God is committed to a relationship with him forever, even providing a home with Him in heaven one day.

I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. –Hebrews 13:5

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. –John 10:28

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. –John 14:3

Optional Invitation (See “Leading Students to Christ” for more explanation of the biblical basis of this sample wording.)

Let’s bow our heads and close our eyes. If you want to trust in God’s forgiveness right now, will you raise your hand?

Based on your situation, determine how to best speak with the individuals who respond.

I have a few questions to ask you about your desire to trust God’s forgiveness.Get a response after each question.

Do you understand that God loves you very much and wants to have a relationship with you?Ephesians 2:4—But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us . . .

Are you willing to admit to God that you have done wrong things and need His forgiveness?Romans 3:23—For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

Do you believe that Jesus is God and that He died for you?Romans 5:8—While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Do you want to accept God’s forgiveness for your sin?Acts 16:31—Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.

If the responses are positive, then say—

Let’s talk to God in prayer, and you can tell Him what you’ve told me.

If help is needed, lead them in something similar to—

Dear God, Thank You for loving me even though You are perfect and I am not.Please forgive me for the wrong things I’ve done.I believe Jesus is God and that He died on the cross and rose again for me. I accept the forgiveness and the home in heaven You are offering me. Thank You, God, for forgiving me.

You pray similar to—

Thank You, God, that You heard (name’s) prayer, and that You have forgiven (his / her) sins. Now help (him / her) learn to love You more each day. Amen.

Ensure that the child understands it is his decision, not the words of the prayer, that results in receiving God’s forgiveness.

Because of what you have just told God, where will you go after your life here on Earth ends? A response of “heaven” will be an indication of understanding the decision to trust Christ.

Why do you get to go to heaven? A response similar to “because I trusted in God’s forgiveness for my sin” will further indicate understanding and lead to assurance.

Give him an assurance verse.

Accepting God’s forgiveness is a one-time decision that lasts forever. God promises to be with you always when He says in His Word—“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”—Hebrews 13:5

Have him make a fist and then put up one finger at a time saying, “I will never leave you.”

Your five fingers can remind you every day of the five words of this wonderful promise.Or you could use again Acts 16:31 from above or John 3:16 as verses of assurance. John 3:16—For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Bible Memory Passages

Passage 1: Lessons 1– 25

1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just

to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

John 1:12But as many as received him, to them gave he

power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God

is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Revelation 3:20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any

man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Romans 10:13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the

Lord shall be saved.

Ephesians 2:8–10For by grace are ye saved through faith; and

that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Passage 2: Lessons 26– 45

Job 19:25–27For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he

shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see

for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Passage 3: Lessons 46 – 65

Mark 8:34–38 And when he had called the people unto him

with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whoso-ever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he

shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful genera-tion; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

from the Authorized King James Version



1 Peter 5:8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary

the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

Romans 8:18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present

time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

2 Timothy 1:9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy

calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

John 5:24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my

word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condem-nation; but is passed from death unto life.


Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in

sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

John 10:15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the

Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Matthew 9:38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that

he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

John 8:31–32Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed

on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Passage 6: Lessons 96 –115

Romans 8:28And we know that all things work together for

good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Ephesians 4:31–32Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and

clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Matthew 6:19–21Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,

where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.


Romans 12:1–8I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mer-

cies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every

man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the

grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching: or he that exhorteth,

on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.


Romans 12:9–16Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that

which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; not sloth-ful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continu-ing instant in prayer; distributing to the necessity

of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.


Romans 12:17–21 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide

things honest in the sight of all men. If it be pos-sible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,

Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Dear Parents,

Each year the sixth grade students look forward to the annual patriotic project contest, which is part of the patriotic emphasis observed each __________________ throughout the whole school.

The completed projects are judged in the classrooms, and the winning projects from each classroom are displayed around the school until the three sixth grade winners are announced.

The sixth grade projects must meet these qualifications:1. The project must have a theme associated with American history.2. The project may make use of any media.3. All work must be done by the student. Parents may help by giving suggestions, obtaining

necessary materials, and seeing that the student meets the deadline of ____________.

Projects will be judged on the following points:1. Obvious historical theme from American history2. Use of media—projects must be three-dimensional, not just drawings3. Originality4. Neatness and attractiveness5. Student’s own work (Many times the best-looking projects do not win because they are

disqualified on this point. We want the student to see what he can accomplish on his own. A person who honestly tries is never a failure.) We encourage students to use their imagination and to investigate all the possible ways to make the project. Avoid the use of too many manufactured articles (plastic soldiers, etc.) on the project.

The following are some suggestions for projects. You may use any of them or add your original ideas:1. Flag2. Doll dressed in a homemade costume3. Covered wagon4. Fort5. Replica of a national symbol or monument6. A “sculpture” of a famous American7. Log cabin or any home that represents our heritage

A rough sketch of the planned project will be given to the classroom teacher and checked. This sketch will be due ____________.

Sixth grade projects are due on ____________.

This will be an enjoyable, creative opportunity for your student. Thank you for your help and cooperation to make this patriotic project contest a success.

Sincerely,

Sample Letter to Parents
