| Publisher Description: As a home educator for over 25 years, I have learned the importance of designing curriculum to meet the individual needs of my children while always focusing on their spiritual development. When my oldest daughter chose to read Anne of Green Gables, I couldn't find a published study guide that combined the emotional growth and the spiritual honesty of Anne with the rich vocabulary and literature of her era. Hence, the birth of Anne with an 'E'. Anne with an 'E' is more than a comprehension study with vocabulary and questions; it is also interpretive. Think About and Discuss questions are meant to take the parent/child, student/teacher deeper into Anne's world - a world with moral and spiritual values very different from our world yet embracing the same hopes and dreams of young men and women today. Each Vocabulary word is located in the chapter and a definition is written out. Many of the Vocabulary words are 'archaic' and the use of an older dictionary may be necessary in order to find the proper definition. All definitions are found in the Teacher's Section. Creative Writing, Literature and Other Activities are also included in this study guide. Many of the Creative Writing Assignments are short compositions and/or thoughts about situations that Anne experiences. Two literature pieces that Anne speaks about are included in the Appendix. The others, which are very long, may be found in anthologies or with a simple internet search. Geography includes learning about Nova Scotia, Canada and the surrounding region where Anne grew up and attended school. An outline map of Nova Scotia is included. Bible Application makes use of Bible study and encourages spiritual growth. Each Scripture can be written out in one's preferred translation. Many of the questions and discussions challenge the ideas of church and religion as Anne's childlike faith is brought to light. As our family walks in a Biblically Messianic Jewish faith, some unique spiritual concepts are presented. |
