All Ye Lands: Origins of World Cultures [Catholic Textbook Project], https://www.catholictextbookproject.com/all-ye-lands. ISBN # 978-1935644422 or 978-1935644170

Note: there have been significant updates since the original 2002 edition of All Ye Lands. Therefore the original edition of the required textbook is not recommended for this course. We recommend the 2011 to 2018 editions. There is no need to purchase the workbook; only the textbook is needed.

• Students will read selections from each unit of Lasseter - approximately 15 pages of reading per class

• Writing is an integral part of demonstrating both the assimilation of knowledge and the articulation thereof. Therefore, students will be guided through the process of writing a short (1-2 page, double-spaced) review of a book of their choice relevant to the subject matter. (High school students taking this course will instead write a three- to five-page book report)

• Regular class extra-credit review quizzes based on lectures and discussions (graded by the computer).

• No answer key is included with this course, but rubrics will be provided as needed.

Fee: For all 14 classes: $237 if you register on or before July 15; $257 if you register after July 15. (Registration closes one week before the first day of class. After that date, registrations are not guaranteed. There is a $25 surcharge for late enrollments after the course is closed.)
