A Time to Heal contains 60 selections of essays, narratives, and poems; 5 are Bible selections, and 11 contain Anabaptist themes. The study exercises are more extensive than in Grade 8. The paragraphs in the text are numbered, and literary terminology is marked to help the student with the exercises.
The Revelation of God is divided into six chapters. Each chapter has five lessons and a review. A chapter is intended to provide work for six weeks. Chapter tests and a final test are available in a separate booklet.
This series (God's Plan for His People, Grades 9, 10) begins with the attributes of God and then goes through the Bible, noting various ways that God unfolded a revelation of Himself through time until the coming of Jesus. Most lessons have the following sections.
Communicating Effectively consists of parallel texts called Book One and Book Two. Either book may be studied first, and Grade 9 and 10 can be combined for English class if desired. Both books review grammar concepts from Grade 8 and previous years, but each one deals with different kinds of composition. Book One has 114 lessons and Book Two has 118 lessons.
New grammar concepts include retained adjective complements, nominative absolutes, subjects of infinitives, moods of verbs, and idioms. Composition skills in Book One include lessons on listening and speaking, Bible study, outlining, argumentative essays, poetry, and letter writing. Composition lessons in Book Two teach study skills, expository essays, stories, descriptions, reference sources, and parliamentary procedure.
Interspersed throughout both books are lessons to improve writing, speaking, and editing skills. Writing and speaking lessons focus on style rather than content.
Book Two is the companion volume to Book One of Investigating God's Orderly World. Together they provide instructional material for study in basic areas of science.
