An Easy "A" Myra Rutherdale Immings

If you are considering homeschooling or simply seeking enrichment materials in English literature for high school aged students, leading a Christian Sunday school class or small discussion group, preparing for the English components of either the G. E. D. or G. R. E, or simply pursuing an enjoyable adult learning experience based upon Christ's lessons in abundant grace, An Easy "A" may be a worthwhile tool for you. The story, presented in short segments, is written in the medium of faction. The authors create a fictional modern environment in which to portray both real and imagined characters who collectively convey God's timeless truths through a seemingly odd collection of English, Norse, Hebrew, French and Japanese literature. The protagonist, a young U. S. Marine Non-Commissioned Officer stationed at Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii, who is also a part-time college student, is seeking an easy "A" in Windward Community College English class. He receives pragmatic and inspirational life lessons from the curious, though very special, professor he encounters in Creative Writing 101. He learns to pay attention and follow direction. He learns that God's truths are expressed in many different forms of literature transcending eras and cultures. He learns that God grants His grace through diverse gifts to His children, and dispenses His love through their service and respect to each other. This text includes a battery of suggested lessons accompanying each story segment. Unlike conventional instructional materials, these practical lessons accommodate visual, auditory and experiential learning-style preferences and diverse students' interests beyond the 3-R's. Each segment is supplemented by lessons in: - English Grammar and Vocabulary - Creative Writing - Analytical Thinking - Mathematics and Science - Historical, Biblical and other Literary Resources - Graphic Arts - Music and Theater Arts
