A culture’s art gives us a peek into civilizations through the ages: Insights into their world, clothing, food, what they love and most valued, their education, homes and habits. This year’s art program will not only dip into the cultural and historical significance of many artists and artworks, but it will also give students the opportunity to explore and create with many different mediums in order to build basic skills as budding artists. Arrow’s art program will offer projects that build confidence with various materials and tools, and while working, students will be learning vocabulary related to the concepts being taught in class. By taking a multi-faceted approach to art that includes exploration of history and culture, materials, vocabulary, and skill building, Arrow’s art program starts students on a path that will give them the confidence and skills necessary for continued artistic success.

• Art – 6th Period Friday (4th-6th)

  Art has been a medium through which people have not only documented, but also shaped history, science and society—both past and future. A culture’s art gives us a peek into civilizations through the ages: Insights into their world, clothing, food, what they love and most valued, their education, homes and habits. This year’s art program will not only dip into the cultural and historical significance of many artists and artworks, but it will also give students the opportunity to explore and create with many different mediums in order to build basic skills as budding artists. Arrow’s art program will offer projects that build confidence with various materials and tools, and while working, students will be learning vocabulary related to the concepts being taught in class. By taking a multi-faceted approach to art that includes exploration of history and culture, materials, vocabulary, and skill building, Arrow’s art program starts students on a path that will give them the confidence and skills necessary for continued artistic success.

• Narnia 2 – 2nd Period Wednesday (7th-8th)

  In this course, students will learn advanced writing skills while exploring the enchanted land of Narnia through the Structure and Style Method. This course, which is a Level C- IEW course, uses the last four novels in the Chronicles of Narnia Series (Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle) to teach advanced structure and style techniques. This course assumes that students will have mastered and will be applying the basic dress-ups and sentence openers automatically, so we will begin adding further upper level techniques to their toolbox from the beginning of the course. These additional style elements will include similes, metaphors, parallelism, the adverb and adjective “teeter-totters”, dual modifiers, noun clauses, personification, “invisible” #2 and #4 openers, etc. In addition, students will learn to consistently use transitional words and phrases to tie their thoughts together smoothly and will learn to scrutinize the stylistic techniques for correct grammatical usage as they increase their skills in the writing process. The course will also have a literary analysis component. Students will be taught to use the “Five Common Topics” as a tool for analyzing literature and discovering more about what might make characters in the novels make the decisions that they do. This process of analysis can help students to understand more about the decision-making process in general and understand how to look at two sides of an “issue” in order to develop persuasive thinking skills. As we move through the 4 novels, students will also learn to identify the literary devices used by C.S. Lewis. He was a master in this regard, and his vivid use of language can inspire students to try such devices in their own writing. Vocabulary Study will be an important part of the course as well.

• MS Worldview 1 – 1st AA Period Friday (7th-9th)

  The goals for this curriculum are twofold. The first goal is defensive: to keep students from being deceived by anti-Christian worldviews. The second goal is offensive: to train them to actively live out the truth of Christianity in a culture of relativism and confusion. Some topics can be sensitive, and it is recommended that parents read the assignments with the students. MS Worldview I will focus on the first half of the books.

• Narnia 2 – 2nd Period Wednesday (7th-8th)

  In this course, students will learn advanced writing skills while exploring the enchanted land of Narnia through the Structure and Style Method. This course, which is a Level C- IEW course, uses the last four novels in the Chronicles of Narnia Series (Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle) to teach advanced structure and style techniques. This course assumes that students will have mastered and will be applying the basic dress-ups and sentence openers automatically, so we will begin adding further upper level techniques to their toolbox from the beginning of the course. These additional style elements will include similes, metaphors, parallelism, the adverb and adjective “teeter-totters”, dual modifiers, noun clauses, personification, “invisible” #2 and #4 openers, etc. In addition, students will learn to consistently use transitional words and phrases to tie their thoughts together smoothly and will learn to scrutinize the stylistic techniques for correct grammatical usage as they increase their skills in the writing process. The course will also have a literary analysis component. Students will be taught to use the “Five Common Topics” as a tool for analyzing literature and discovering more about what might make characters in the novels make the decisions that they do. This process of analysis can help students to understand more about the decision-making process in general and understand how to look at two sides of an “issue” in order to develop persuasive thinking skills. As we move through the 4 novels, students will also learn to identify the literary devices used by C.S. Lewis. He was a master in this regard, and his vivid use of language can inspire students to try such devices in their own writing. Vocabulary Study will be an important part of the course as well.

This class will continue Arrow’s tradition of approaching art instruction classically, meaning that it will emphasize traditional methods for strengthening student’s art skills while expanding their knowledge of art history, criticism, and aesthetics; however, this class is designed to reach beyond building basic art skills and assumes that students have a reasonable level of mastery over their materials. It is designed to help students become effective visual communicators. The course will focus on traditional art media including sketch, ink, watercolor, and acrylic, but allows for individual exploration into other mediums as well. Instruction will also cover art concepts such as advanced color theory, the art elements and principles of design, and some practical skills including canvas building.
  Course Expectations and Assessment: All students will be expected to participate in class discussions, critiques, projects, and presentations. This is a strenuous class and will require approximately 3-4 hours per week of out-of-class time. Out-of-class assignments will consist of finishing in-class art projects, researching topics and themes relating to a chosen thesis, collecting “inspiration”, and completing some enrichment activities such as watching YouTube videos, skill building worksheets, etc. This is a graded course and students are eligible to count it as a fine art or elective high school credit. Assignment grades will be assessed on a complete/incomplete basis. Projects and enrichment work completed at a level that shows understanding of the concept being taught will receive a grade of “Complete”. Parents will be asked to sign their student’s syllabus each week indicating that all enrichment content for the week(s) has been completed. Students will receive a grade of “Complete” once all content for the week(s) is complete. A final grade will be assigned based on the percentage of “Complete” projects: 90-100% – A, 80-90% – B, 70-80% – C, 69% and below is incomplete for the course and is not considered passing.

• Worldview 2 – 2nd AA Period Friday (7th-9th)

  The goals for this curriculum are twofold. The first goal is defensive: to keep students from being deceived by anti-Christian worldviews. The second goal is offensive: to train them to actively live out the truth of Christianity in a culture of relativism and confusion. Grading will be largely based on participation in classroom discussions. Light homework and reading will be assigned. Some topics may be sensitive, and it is recommended that parents do the reading with the student. MS Worldview 2 uses the same book as MS Worldview I, but focuses on the second half of the books. Only students who have completed Worldview I at Arrow can register for this course – if you register for this course without that prerequisite the student will automatically be moved to a study hall.

• Mock Trial in Training – 3rd AA Period Friday (8th-10th)

  The Mock Trial in Training class is geared towards developing the future Competition Mock Trial team. Students will spend the fall practicing argumentation, logic, and speaking skills. Students will practice the same skills as the Competition Mock Trial team, but will have the entire school year to practice and prepare. There will be be a greater emphasis on logic development, public speaking, and argument development.

  In April of 2022, the Mock Trial in Training will host their own Mock Trial with 1 Arrow team competing against another. Students will need to be available during a weekday for the competition.

  Here is a blurb from the Texas Mock Trial website: Thousands of high school students from across the state participate each year the Texas Mock Trial competition- a motivating, energetic, and challenging academic competition! The program provides a great way for students to gain an “insider’s view” of our judicial system, plus, they gain confidence speaking in front of others and have a lot of fun at the same time

  Teacher: Kim Hunt
  Curriculum: https://classicalacademicpress.com/products/the-art-of-argument Additional text TBA Case materials provided by Arrow Formal court attire (approved by teacher in early March)

  Grade Levels: 8th-10th

• Mock Trial – 4th AA Period Friday (10th+)

  Thousands of high school students from across the state participate each year in this highly motivating, energetic, and challenging academic competition! The program provides a great way for students to gain an “insider’s view” of our judicial system, plus, they gain confidence speaking in front of others and have a lot of fun at the same time.

  The competition Mock Trial class is capped at 10 students–the max allowed in competition. Students will spend the fall practicing argumentation, logic, and speaking skills. The case is released in October, and the team will then prepare the case for the Regional Competition, held between Jan 9 – Feb 13. Winners from the region then advance to the State Competition during the first weekend in March. The winner of State Competition has the opportunity to represent Texas in the National Competition held in May.

  Students who enroll in this class should be enthusiastic about the competition, willing to be a team player, be willing to be assigned a role by the teacher, and willing to memorize and practice their part extensively. Students will likely only be allowed to enroll on the Competition Mock Trial once during their high school years to make space for other students. Students who do not complete assignments or come prepared to class in the fall may be dismissed from class. While an Mock Trial is an elective, enrolling on the competition team implies a high level of dedication and high expectations both in preparation and in class. Students enrolling in this class also agree to attend every competition the team qualifies for and should consider schedule conflicts before enrolling. Exact weekend competition dates have not been released yet, but student’s are expected to prioritize Mock Trial competition over other activities.

• 3rd Period HS Worldview I – AA Friday (9th-12th)

  The goals for this curriculum are twofold. The first goal is defensive: to keep students from being deceived by anti-Christian worldviews. The second goal is offensive: to train them to actively live out the truth of Christianity in a culture of relativism and confusion. Grading will be largely based on participation in classroom discussions. Light homework and reading will be assigned. Some topics may be sensitive, and it is recommended that parents do the reading with the student. HS Worldview I uses the same books as MS Worldview I, focusing on the first half of the books. HS Worldview I and MS Worldview I are the exact same course, though they are presented for different age levels. Either course is appropriate for 9th graders–although the HS course may go deeper into more sensitive topics. Choose the course that matches their intellectual and maturity level for deep discussions.

• Latin 2 – 1st AA Period Friday (8th+)

  In this class, students will review to the basics of Latin grammar, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and other grammatical constructions. We will be completing most of the Henle 1 book. This class is a full high school foreign language credit. Latin is a relatively structured language and this course will focus heavily on grammar and translation. Parents and students alike find Latin daunting. However, I have found through disciplined memorization of forms, vocabulary words, and definitions, students will be set up for success. A typical week will consist of the following work:
  • 10-20 vocabulary words (drill pages)
  • Grammar forms (declensions and conjugations) (drill pages)
  • Grammar rules and definitions
  • 3-6 exercises from the Henle text
  • Supplemental handouts (occasional)

• Advanced High School Art AP – 2nd AA Period Friday (10th-12th)
  Teacher: Amy Crossno

  Course Description: Arrow’s Advanced Academic HS Art (AP optional) focuses on composition techniques, creative content and applications, as well as helping budding artists find their voice in the medium of their choice. This class will continue Arrow’s tradition of approaching art instruction classically, meaning that it will emphasize traditional methods for strengthening student’s art skills while expanding their knowledge of art history, criticism, and aesthetics; however, this class is designed to reach beyond building basic art skills and assumes that students have a reasonable level of mastery over their materials. It is designed to help students become effective visual communicators. The course will focus on traditional art media including sketch, ink, watercolor, and acrylic, but allows for individual exploration into other mediums as well. Instruction will also cover art concepts such as advanced color theory, the art elements and principles of design, and some practical skills including canvas building.
  Course Expectations and Assessment: All students will be expected to participate in class discussions, critiques, projects, and presentations. This is a strenuous class and will require approximately 3-4 hours per week of out-of-class time. Out-of-class assignments will consist of finishing in-class art projects, researching topics and themes relating to a chosen thesis, collecting “inspiration”, and completing some enrichment activities such as watching YouTube videos, skill building worksheets, etc. This is a graded course and students are eligible to count it as a fine art or elective high school credit. Assignment grades will be assessed on a complete/incomplete basis. Projects and enrichment work completed at a level that shows understanding of the concept being taught will receive a grade of “Complete”. Parents will be asked to sign their student’s syllabus each week indicating that all enrichment content for the week(s) has been completed. Students will receive a grade of “Complete” once all content for the week(s) is complete. A final grade will be assigned based on the percentage of “Complete” projects: 90-100% – A, 80-90% – B, 70-80% – C, 69% and below is incomplete for the course and is not considered passing.

  Grade Levels: 10th-12th

• Worldview 2 – 2nd AA Period Friday (7th-9th)

  The goals for this curriculum are twofold. The first goal is defensive: to keep students from being deceived by anti-Christian worldviews. The second goal is offensive: to train them to actively live out the truth of Christianity in a culture of relativism and confusion. Grading will be largely based on participation in classroom discussions. Light homework and reading will be assigned. Some topics may be sensitive, and it is recommended that parents do the reading with the student. MS Worldview 2 uses the same book as MS Worldview I, but focuses on the second half of the books. Only students who have completed Worldview I at Arrow can register for this course – if you register for this course without that prerequisite the student will automatically be moved to a study hall.
