King Alfred's English
____Teacher Page
2. Unit Tests--Student Copies
Test 1: Covers Parts I and 2, Chapters 1-5
....Pre-English Britain; Old English
Test 2: Covers Parts 3 and
4, Chapters 6-10 ....Middle English; A Time of Transition
Test 3: Covers Parts 5 and 6, Chapters 11-15 ....The Making of
the English Bible; Shakespeare and Modern English
Note:
Questions on the tests come solely from the worksheets.
Each test covers 2 units, but each is marked at the spot
where the second unit's questions begin in case you prefer to administer the
test in two sections.
For Homeschooling Parents:
There is enough supplemental material to flesh out a full semester
(one half unit) of history, or a 1/4
unit history plus 1/4 unit English.
Here's what I suggest as a minimum-- adjust according to age--
Suggested Minimum Requirements
About the Movies --
Please do not assume that movies I have listed are fine for
your students without checking them out for yourself. Students reading
King Alfred's English cover a wide age range and what is ok for a
12th grader may be over the top to someone in 7th grade. I have tried to include warnings
for any movie that might have questionable content, but my sensitivities may be
different from your own, so please be aware of that.
And One Last Thing--
This is a brand new method of teaching for me (online) and I'm used to having
kids who tell me what they especially liked and learned from, or what they
didn't "get," so I can revamp the online material accordingly. I'd love to know what you felt about
the book, of course, as well! So please feel free to email me:
laurie@theshorterword.com
I hope you and your students enjoy this study!
