Sample Scholar Classes

These are examples of the classes we offer at Shining Light Commonwealth. Classes vary from year to year based on the needs of the commonwealth families.

LEMI Projects

Practice Level Scholar Projects

"Practice Phase: when students begin to gain scholar skills in reading, writing, thinking, computing, etc. to such a degree that they become independent thinkers. At first it takes a lot of practice and looks inconsistent, in time it becomes easier and easier and the student’s ability to focus increases. It becomes more consistent with practice."¹

Shakespeare Conquest

Scholar Phase: Practice Scholar, 12-14 year olds
Two semester class
Time Required: Varies up to 10-15 hours a week (2 hours in class) first semester, increases during second semester due to memorization and play rehearsals

What Will My Student Get Out of This Class?

Vision: I see I can be part of something GREAT!
Mission: I can do hard things and I have a role to play.
Abilities: How to disagree respectfully and express one’s ideas.
Skills: Understanding challenging works of literature.

What Is Shakespeare Conquest?

Shakespeare Conquest is a two-semester practice scholar project using the works of Shakespeare to develop the scholar skills of memorization, learning in a team environment, writing opinion papers, reading comprehension (Shakespeare isn't easy reading!), and forming opinions of and discussing what they have read. The culmination of this project is a live stage performance of a Shakespeare play by the class members. There is an opportunity to earn rewards days at the end of the school year. LEMI designed Shakespeare Conquest, using many external rewards, to inspire new Scholars to experience success as they are introduced to a more rigorous workload than they have yet experienced. It is also designed to build unity and trust among peers who will be learning and growing together over the coming years, and to build unity among all of the Commonwealth families. It is intended that the entire Commonwealth will share in the ownership of the Spring Production. In addition, our visions are to help Shakespeare scholars apply what they are learning to the modern world through the window of the gospel of Jesus Christ, to prepare them to receive personal revelation concerning the truths of these doctrines, and to empower them as they move forward with their educations.

Shakespeare Conquest is a project with intense time demands. It requires a lot of involvement from the parents. LEMI set it up this way to be the gathering method to keep our commonwealth strong. To make sure you understand all the information and are not surprised later, we require all families to fill out this contract before enrolling in the class. Please be aware that second semester is a wonderful learning opportunity, but that it may not fit in your family's schedule this year or be the best thing for your scholar if he or she is already busy doing many great things. This contract will help you to determine if it would be better for your family this year to only sign up for first semester. We'd love to have your scholar enrolled but understand if second semester is not a good fit for you this year.

10 Scholar Requirements (a.k.a. How to Earn a Ticket to the Big Reward Day)

Pass off iambic pentameter assignment. (We will do this in class.)
See, read, or listen to (no speeding up) seven or more Shakespeare plays.
Recite the assigned soliloquy from memory.
Give an 8 minute pecha kucha presentation on an assigned topic
Write and turn in 10 writing assignment papers.
Read the assigned play for first semester.
Complete the vocabulary assignment.
Write a character analysis of your spring play role. (2^nd semester)
Complete the spring play vocabulary assignment. (2^nd semester)
Participate in the spring play. (2^nd semester)

Race to King and Queen! (First semester)

To immerse scholars in the language of Shakespeare we encourage them to see, read, or listen (cannot speed up audio to qualify) to 17 Shakespeare plays as fast as they can. (Note that this is ten more than is required for the class.) When they complete the challenge, they will be crowned a king or queen. The first boy and girl to finish are crowned High King and High Queen. Please be aware that there are some productions that are inappropriate for youth to watch and as a parent you may like to preview them. We do not recommend that youth read or watch Titus Andronicus due to graphic violence. Be aware that some interpretations of The Two Gentlemen of Verona are problematic.

Second Semester

Second semester is focused on bringing our first semester learning together as we practice and perform a Shakespearean play. We do this through line memorization, participation in actors’ training, focused rehearsals, and the culminating performance week of our Spring Play. Commitment time is increased tremendously when three times a week practices begin in February. Time is spent at home memorizing lines and the whole family can get involved with the different needs of putting on a play. This semester is an active, fun filled challenge that grows scholars in their skills of performance, teamwork, and time/stress management.

Our spring Shakespeare play is a gathering experience for our entire commonwealth in which we work together as a team to give our Shakespeare scholars a chance to shine. Every Shakespeare family is especially vital to our organization, so we need some important commitments from Shakespeare scholars and their parents. If one scholar or one family doesn’t fulfill their commitments, Shakespeare will be less for all the other scholars, but if every person involved does their best, Shakespeare will be an AWESOME, life-changing experience. If these commitments look too difficult for you to make this year, we hope you'll feel comfortable not registering for Shakespeare at this time, and we hope you'll feel welcome to come back next year if your circumstances are different. We want every scholar to have a chance at this great class!

Family Commitments

We need each family to sign up for one job in our play production. There are other jobs that we will ask older scholars to do, such as lights and sound and hair and makeup assistants. We have found that our older scholars are a wonderful asset. The jobs we know we will need help with are:

Costumes
Stage Crew Managers
Food Coordinator
House Manager
Programs and Graphics
Ticket sales
Concessions
Props Manager
Scenery and Props
Videographer
Audio/Video

The scholars are inspired to study the Constitution and Bill of Rights, to be able to list the separate branches of government and their roles, and the limitations placed on them. Other important topics covered in this class include:

purpose of government
world crisis and personal and family choices
leadership
how the legislative process works
importance of strong local governments in a republic
the amendment process
the supremacy of the Constitution

Sword of Freedom Scholar Project – The Civil War!

Scholar Phase: Practice Scholar, Ages 13-15
One semester class
Time outside of class: 5-10 hours a week, mostly due to readings
Class fee does not include books

Are you for the North or the South? Experience a new birth of freedom through this project and the study of the men and women of the time. Extend the foundation of freedom created in Key of Liberty.

Students enter a semester-long simulation pitting the North against the South as they learn to navigate difficult issues such as states rights vs. federal control, the constitutionality of cessation, and the economics of slavery. In a crucial time in our nation’s history, human nature is explored in a war that resulted in brother fighting against brother in a conflict where both sides believed they were doing God’s will. The Civil War has never been more engaging as the students work towards earning a replica sword like those carried by the Union and Confederate soldiers. It includes simulations, great classic books, presentations, and more!

A few of the vital principles taught are:

Purpose of government
Personal and family choices in widespread crisis
Leadership
War, pestilence, betrayal, statesmanship
Public virtue
True heroes

Book list:

Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Abraham Lincoln by Wilbur F. Gordy
Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Hero Project

Note: LEMI now has this class as a transition to apprentice level scholar class. We have used it as both a practice and transition to apprentice scholar level class; hence why it is under both Practice and Transition to Apprenticce Scholar.

Scholar Phase: Practice Scholar, Ages 13-15
One semester class
Time outside of class: 5-10 hours a week, mostly due to readings
Class fee does not include books

Description:

Hero Project will use the vehicle of WWII to help scholars study their own journey to being a hero. Scholars will read books, do in-class book discussions, write papers, keep a hero journal, watch WWII movies, and do a large hero project with parts to represent each of the heroes they have chosen to study during the semester. Scholars will be mentored through this process and will be encouraged to produce something that appeals to them to honor their chosen heroes. Examples include making a wooden sword with the names of each chosen hero, making a quilt of the heroes, writing a song about the heroes, or any other creative work they can do to memorialize the study they have done this semester. We will also continue to work on our debating skills with a Nuremberg Trial activity.

Book list:

The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson.
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo.
Children of the Dust Bowl: The True Story of the School at Weedpatch Camp by Jerry Stanley
Flags of Our Fathers: A Young People's Edition by James Bradley, Ron Powers, and Michael French Please get the "for young people" edition.
The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom.
Hiroshima by John Hershey.

Pyramid Project

Note: The first semester of Pyramid Project is typically geared more for Practice Scholars. In our commonwealth, we have paird Pyramid Project with Georgics, and together they help the transition to the Apprentice Scholar Level.

What is Pyramid Project?

Pyramid Project is a one semester project beginning with a parent scholar meeting before class. Classes begin the first Tuesday in September or the first Tuesday in January. Classes go for 14-15 weeks. This is a Practice Scholar level and focuses on the four cornerstones of Math and Science (the Four Inteligros) and Geometry:

Truth-The students set a goal with the mentor to study their core book and compare the truth they find there with math and science principles.
Logic and Reason
The Characteristics of a Scientist
Newtonian Math (measurement skills or the language and procedures of math)

The students set a goal with the mentor to study their core book and compare the truth they find there with math and science principles. The purpose of this project is not to present a comprehensive math course in Newtonian math, but rather, to provide an environment where the characteristics of a scientist can be developed, truth sought after and recognized, and logic and reason developed. Project mentors will set the example of seeing patterns and developing the habit of wondering (asking questions), lead in-class experiments, give feedback on student papers, and give lectures on principles like assumptions, equations, asking questions, spiritual and physical creation.

What will my scholar get out of this class?

Vision: I understand that God is my loving Father and has given me a source of revealed Truth that I can use as a standard and guide to evaluate and understand the things of the world. That by applying the truths found there I can change the world.
Mission: As a unique individual, by applying the principles of truth found in my core book, using the habits of a scientist, applying logic and reason and using the language of Newtonian math, I have something unique to offer the world that will make a difference.
Abilities: Seeing the world as it really is, attention span is increasing, increasing study hours, using Newtonian math and understanding it is a form of expression, applying the Inteligro Method to daily living, gaining the habits of a Scientist, gaining self-discipline, becoming more self-dependent and not peer dependent, becoming competent, and following lines of logic.
Skills: Managing time; putting logical thoughts on paper; seeing patterns, equations, relationships, and truth in the world and their core book; recognizing patterns; following a line of logic; recognizing symbols, having more initiative; inspiring themselves to do hard things, choosing between the Goods; reading like a lawyer; writing like an author; thinking like a philosopher; speaking like an orator; computing like a mathematician; asking the right questions.

Are there any prerequisites?

Yes. Scholars should:

Have memorized the Times Tables through 12’s
Read Carry On, Mr. Bowditch before class
Chosen a level of math text at home with their parents such as a book, program, or a math packet available from LEMI. (There will be an option during registration to purchase a packet(s) from LEMI for $8 each.)
Obtained a day planner of their choice

What other books and materials are needed for this class?

Carry on Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham
*String, Straightedge, and Shadow by Julia K. Diggins (There will be an option during registration to purchase it through LEMI for $17. It is not available at the library.)
Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
*A Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe by Michael Schneider
The Mystery of the Periodic Table by Benjamin D. Wiker

How much out-of-class time is required for this class?

Because this class is a practice level course, scholars should expect to spend 10-15 hours of outside class time in studying for the next class period. Their study time will include preparing for presentations, writing assignments, recording of personal observations, setting and completing math book goals, studying their core book, keeping a logbook, using their planner, preparing their science project, and reading assigned books.

Transition to Apprentice Level Scholar Projects

Transition to Aprentice Scholar classes help the transition into more difficult yet rewarding scholar studies. Please note that LEMI has changed their Georgics training and class content from a choose your scholar level to now being specifically a Practice scholar class; however, our commonwealth has traditionally used it as a transition class.

Georgics

Note: LEMI now trains mentors for Georgics to be for Practice Scholar students. However, in our commonwealth, we have paired Pyramid Project (first semester) and Georgics (second semester as a transition to apprentice level), and together they help the transition to the Apprentice Scholar Level.

Prerequisites: Ready to transition from Practice Scholar to Apprentice Scholar.
Scholar Phase: Practice Scholars ready to transition to Apprentice Scholars, ages 14+ approx
Length : One Semester Class
Time Required : 10-25 hours per week outside of class

What is Georgics?
Georgics is a one semester project beginning January 5th, 2021. This semester is a Transition to
Apprentice Scholar level class. The class focuses on the 7 Principles and 7 Results of living a
Georgic life.
The purpose of this project is not to present a comprehensive course in agriculture or earth
science, but rather, to provide an environment where the students will learn to be good stewards;
feel and take responsibility for their choices; know and live the Georgic principles and gain the
results of living them; feel self-validated as they do hard things; lead by example; share what they
have learned with others; have a homesteader mentality; and most of all connect with Heavenly
Father, themselves, and their fellow men.

Are there any prerequisites?
Scholars should be ready to transition from practice scholar to apprentice scholar phase, meaning
they are starting to take ownership of their education and are becoming self motivated, and ready
to submit doing the hard things their mentors require. Please talk with the mentors if you have
questions.

How much does this class cost?

Varies per semester but usually around $45. Additional costs may include:

Book costs are not included in the cost of the class.
Individual garden project costs are not included in the cost of the class
Harvest Dinner food item(s)
Family simulation supplies

What books and materials are needed?
Most families will likely already own most of the books. They are listed in no particular order.

they will need project supplies for. Projects include Garden/Livestock project, Family simulation,
and Harvest Dinner. The projects scholars choose will need to be parent approved.

How much out-of-class time is required?
Georgics is a Transition to Apprentice Scholar level class for the 2021 year. Scholars can expect
to be studying between 15-25 hours a week outside of class. Their study time will include
journaling, logging, writing assignments, working on a garden and harvest dinner projects, using a
planner, studying their core book, preparing a presentation, participating in simulations,
memorizing, and reading assigned books.

Scholar Phase: Apprentice Scholars ages 15+
2nd Semester Class (fees are for this semester, does not include books)
Time out of class: 20-25 hrs per week

What will my scholar get out of class?

This is a thought-provoking study of principles of freedom, self-government, and jurisprudence (a study of the U.S. Supreme Court).

     For learning principles of good government, we will be using The 5000 Year Leap by Cleon Skousen. We will understand and memorize the 28 principles in that book. The students will bring in current events and we will analyze whether those principles are being upheld or violated.

     We will discuss US Supreme Court and Utah State Supreme Courts rulings. Then, as a final assignment, the scholars will research a landmark Supreme Court case and reenact the case before "justices" in a court setting. The class is divided into teams, representing the appellant/petitioner or the respondent. Oral arguments, writing skills, and research are put into this final assignment, showing the students that they can work hard, do difficult assignments, and reap the reward for all their effort.

     This might sound overwhelming, but the transformation of those who put forth the effort and come ready to participate is amazing!
