This course examines the theme of redemption in literature from a Christian perspective, through the study of four classic works. Students will read and analyze King Lear, The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Bronze Bow, and The Water is Wide, each exploring the complex nature of redemption. Through close reading and discussion, students will deepen their understanding of redemption as a theme and how Christian perspectives can shape our interpretation of literature. Assignments include critical analysis and personal reflection. By the end of the course, students will have a greater appreciation of how literature can inform and enrich our understanding of redemption. Live class sessions will include a prayer, the pledge, a student-led spiritual devotional, an examination of exemplary student work, various group reflections and analysis, as well as preparatory review of upcoming lessons/assignments organized in our “4-R Method”: Research, Reason, Relate and Record.

Mentor Biography:

We are thrilled to have Ms. Jeni back for her fourth year with AHS Worldwide!! She has become a cherished mentor and friend to many. She comes uniquely qualified to direct this class as she has a great love for literature and writing alike. Her professional career began as the head corporate paralegal for a large law firm for 10 years, specializing in voluminous written contracts, trusts, and agreements. She was also lead contact for all transactional legal work for the firm. She is also a BYU and UNLV graduate. Her favorite book of all time (besides the scriptures, of course) is “The Hiding Place”, as this non-fiction work masterfully mixes a message of turning trial into triumph coupled with a solid outlook built on Christ. A close second favorite read is “Left To Tell”, which is covered in our AHS course Literature: Moral Aptitude.

Ms. Jeni spent magical summers during college as an EFY (now “FSY”) counselor, where she came to cherish enthusiastic teenagers and spiritually fueled friendships. In her spare time, she currently loves to read/write, cook, travel, walk/talk with friends, Disneyland and BYU football games! GO COUGS! She lives in Provo, Utah, where she was born and raised, but she has also lived in Las Vegas and Oregon. She has two children, ages 8 and 10, and values the role of mother above all else. She puts great effort into interpersonal relationships and knows that this unique AHS learning experience requires group effort! She can’t wait to get to know you!!! She loves learning about scholar’s unique life stories and values time spent getting to know them and their diverse abilities. She has a fun sense of humor, which makes her live classes especially enjoyable. Her favorite mentoring mantra is “The Lord loves effort, and so do I!” Remember: what you put into this course determines what you get out of this class… your overall experience is up to you!

Live class structure will vary according to student needs but will always begin with a prayer and a spiritual thought. Various teaching and learning activities will be incorporated into each class and will encourage both learning and teaching (e.g., class discussion, small group activities, Q&A, experiential learning, competitions, role plays, analysis of models, real-world case studies, occasional lecture, etc.). As a result, students will be engaged, thoughtful, and eager to participate and learn.

Live classes will include an opening devotional, followed by a Research, Reason, Relate, and Record format for reviewing the class material, with an emphasis on application. Where appropriate, review or additional material to supplement the weekly subject matter will be presented. Class sessions will have a strong emphasis on learning by teaching, in which students will have opportunities to reinforce their own learning by sharing it with others. This will be accomplished through discussion questions, chats, surveys, games, questions and answers, small or large group exercises, debates, etc. Students will be asked to present and discuss exemplary work. This experience is unique because it encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning, and gives them a safe environment in which to do so.

The world around us is alive and constantly changing. Studying biology provides intriguing glimpses into God’s creations and their processes. Biology is the branch of science that studies life and living organisms. This includes such subjects as the cell, genes, inheritance, microorganisms, plants, animals, and the human body. This course is designed to introduce students to each of the many branches of biology. These include biochemistry (the chemical reactions needed to support life), physiology (how living organisms function), genetics (the study of DNA and inheritance), ecology (how organisms interact with their environment), agriculture (the study of producing crops from the land), botany (the study of plants), and zoology (the study of animals).

What makes my classroom learning experience unique? We will be diving deeper into how biology is connected to everyday phenomena with live demonstrations and virtual labs. Students will also experience content through discussion, research, peer reviews and using a variety of technology to analyze data. I will also be incorporating the Next Generation Science Standards to help students develop the habits and skills that scientists and engineers use in day-to-day life. I am passionate about helping students see themselves as citizen scientists even if this is not their main interest.

All instruction will be focused on having a growth mindset, mutual respect and making each time we meet memorable. We will remember that every expert was a beginner at some point, and this course will be taught around this perspective. I will showcase a standard of excellence through highlighting exemplary student work. I will be available to answer questions through email and I will provide office hours for students to meet with me 1-on-1, as needed (but not required).

When I hold class, I like to avoid lecturing for the entire meeting time since the students are working through some of the material on their own. During class I would like to lecture on the most important parts of that week’s lessons and then answer any questions students may have had about the material. Weekly discussions will revolve around how the lessons may be applied in their own circumstances or hypothetical circumstances. I feel that family studies are best understood when students can see the principles in their own lives. I will ensure there is discussion where students can gain a deeper understanding of what they’ve learned.

In this course, students will learn to be wise stewards of the material blessings the Lord provides by gaining a solid understanding of financial principles and learning to apply them to a gospel-centered life. Course material and content includes best practices for sound financial management and counsel of the prophets, apostles and other church leaders. The primary method of instruction will be through reading materials. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, budgeting, goal setting, cash management, credit, loans, debt and much more. Students will demonstrate their understanding through the 4-Rs (research, reason, relate, and record) methodology through realistic assignments, short papers, quizzes and a final exam. For many students the most challenging part of class is to create and apply a realistic budget. The principles learned in this course can be of value every day of their lives as they understand how to apply sound financial principles.

Each writing class will include rush write sessions of 90 seconds to get the creative juices going, small group discussions where students can give feedback to their peers on their papers. We will also read aloud and dissect the writings of well-known authors. We will also read the exemplary work done by students on a final draft. Writing is a process, and I would like students to write several drafts of a long paper over the course of a term and improve it through revision with peers and the Mentor. Writers only get better by writing and writing and writing again, followed by reading as much as possible. Each class will include time to write, time to read, and time to share.

Chemistry is a subject full of awe and wonder.

Romans 1:20 tells us: “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature.”

Chemistry is the study of the make-up of all things and how the elements interact with each other. Because chemistry is the study of matter, it is the connecting science that is central to physics and mathematics, biology and medicine, the earth and environmental sciences. Knowledge of the nature of elements, molecules and chemical compounds will provide insights on how all things were created as well as the chemical laws by which God governs his creations.

Chemistry is magical and just like a good “potions class” from Hogwarts, this course would not be complete without chemistry labs. This course will incorporate interactive activities, virtual lab simulations and live demonstrations to help students better understand the concepts of chemistry make the learning experience engaging and fun.

What makes my classroom learning experience unique? We will be diving deeper into how chemistry and chemical technology is essential for meeting our basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, health, energy, and clean air, water, and soil. Next Generation Science Standards will be incorporated to help students develop essential scientific skillsets to analyze and understand the world around them. I am passionate about helping students see themselves as citizen scientists even if this is not their main interest.

All instruction will be focused on having a growth mindset, mutual respect and making each time we meet memorable. We will remember that every expert was a beginner at some point, and this course will be taught around this perspective. I will showcase a standard of excellence

through highlighting exemplary student work. I will be available to answer questions through email and I will provide office hours for students to meet with me 1-on-1, as needed (but not required).

The ScholarConnect Physics course touches on the basics of kinematics, optics, material science, fluids, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. Many of these phenomena can look like magic when demonstrated. In class, we aim to learn that physics isn’t magic, but something repeatable and understandable. Using the language of math, we can predict behaviors, and understand what is happening in any given circumstance. This helps us to get a glimpse at how miraculous God’s creations are, and how He works in the universe.

We will spend class time doing demos (both on screen and each student at home), setting up and understanding example problems, and discussing why it all matters. Mrs. Wilkinson will have limited office hours later in the week to answer questions that have come up while solving homework problems.

MENTOR BIOGRAPHY:

When Mrs. Wilkinson was 9 years old, the Voyager spacecraft made its closest approach to the planet Saturn, sending back stunning images and showing us for the first time that Saturn didn’t just have 3 rings, but hundreds of smaller rings. She was hooked on science, math, and space exploration from that point on.

After a mission to Germany, Mrs. Wilkinson graduated in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. She worked on spacecraft propulsion systems until her children were born. She and her husband are currently raising their four kids in Utah but have lived all over the United States and even overseas in Amman, Jordan.

Mrs. Wilkinson’s desire to teach Physics led her to go back to school for a Master’s degree in Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences. While finishing that degree, she did an internship with American Heritage School Worldwide and has never left. This is Mrs. Wilkinson’s third year with American Heritage.

Mrs. Wilkinson is excited to try to help students find the passion for physics that she learned from other great teachers. She hopes to show how understanding the physics of the world can be used in your day-to-day life.

When Mrs. Wilkinson has down time, you will mostly likely find her reading a great book. She also loves camping and hiking with her family, as well as animals of all kinds.
