Designed with an investigative motif, Modern World History-Based Language Arts sets students on a quest of learning language arts while focusing on modern world history! Jet-setting the globe, students track vexing vocabulary, crack critique codes, and demystify puzzling punctuation! Live and interactive, this class features all nine units of IEW’s Structure and Style™ methodology paired with modern world history source texts. Examining historical events from Ivan the Terrible’s military dominance of Russia to the rise of communism after World War II, students learn to write and write to learn while globe-trotting through time!

Together with their global time-travel, students encounter a diverse assortment of short stories, poems, and novels complimenting eras of modern world history. Furnished with literature study guides for each novel, students uncover the basic elements and techniques of literary analysis. Students’ poetry packets afford them the opportunity to internalize and experiment with specific literary devices. Combined with a Socratic discussion format, the literature study guides and poetry packets challenge students to improve their moral imaginations and enhance their enjoyment of great and good literature. From the nosey young woman from Kent in Lear’s humorous limerick, “There Was a Young Lady” to Morpurgo’s novel of Joey, a farm horse on frontlines during World War I in War Horse, students learn to celebrate beauty, identify virtues, and discern consequences.
