Sunrise 2nd Edition

Sunrise 2nd Edition Reading 700 uses five LightUnits and is based on the reader The Road Less Traveled. Stories and poems present students with characters who faced decisions that altered their lives in significant ways.

Using the LightUnits, students build vocabulary; examine literary elements such as setting, theme, and tone; interpret literary techniques such as metaphors, symbols, allusions, irony, and foreshadowing; identify story genres; practice types of writing; and identify faulty reasoning.

The Answer Key is spiral bound and contains reproductions of LightUnit pages with answers.

The Teacher’s Guide includes LightUnit pages with answers, instructions for teaching new concepts, oral reading activity ideas, discussion questions, and alternate tests.

Sunrise Edition

Sunrise Bible 700 is a study of the Gospels. The first LightUnit begins witha brief overview of each Gospel’s unique characteristics. Lessons in the rest of the course follow the chronological order of the Gospel of Luke but include events and teachings from the other Gospels. Each lesson directs the student to read a given portion of Scripture. This Scripture passage is then explained in the LightUnit and followed by activities that help the student interact with what they have learned. The course also teaches students how to use Strong’s Concordance. Bible memory work is included.

The concordance work in this course uses Strong's Exhaustive Bible Concordance. Most versions, including electronic copies, should work well. However, if you use The Strongest Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, you will find some answers different from those given in our answer key.

Sunrise Edition

Language Arts 700 integrates grammar, spelling, and penmanship into one easy-to-use package. Grammar and punctuation skills are introduced incrementally at the beginning of each daily lesson, followed by exercises reviewing the latest material as well as more familiar, almost-mastered skills. Each day’s lesson concludes with penmanship and spelling practice.

In LightUnit 707, students read But Not Forsaken, a book about refugees after WWII, and do a literary analysis of the story. This full-year course also covers active and passive voice, verbals, clauses, compound and complex sentence structure, writing an exposition, consistent verb tenses, and dangling/misplaced modifiers.

The optional Teacher's Guide provides teacher's notes, spelling word lists, useful appendices, and alternate LightUnit tests.

Sunrise Edition

Math LightUnit 701 tests and reviews concepts that should have been mastered in sixth grade to verify readiness for the Math 700 level.

The remaining LightUnits introduce new skills and concepts in incremental, continuously reviewed steps. We teach the metric system simultaneously with the U.S. system of measurement.

Math 700 themes, one distinct theme per LightUnit, are based on Christian occupations and a Biblical worldview of business, family, and personal finances. This practical emphasis on realistic problem-solving is balanced with continued advancement in geometry and pre-algebra.

We assume student proficiency in the basic facts and the four mathematical operations, but still provide daily practice to keep skills fresh, along with mastery drills on geometry formulas, definitions, and other math facts.

The Teacher's Guides give teaching tips, extra practice, solutions, LightUnit answers, and alternate LightUnit tests. Answer keys are optional if the Teacher's Guides are purchased.

Each LightUnit in this course takes about seventeen days to cover, providing work for a 170-day school year. The specific themes covered in Science 700, one per LightUnit, are as follows:

701 God-Designed Plant Systems
702 God-Designed Body Systems
703 The Behavior of Living Things
704 Molecular Genetics
705 Chemical Structure and Change
