How the World Works, Part I

Is your child prepared to function as an adult?  Get ready because there is a lot to know!  This discussion-based course dives into the series called Uncle Eric’s Model of How the World Works by Richard J. Maybury.   We will lay the foundation for a basic working knowledge of politics, economics, law, and history.  Many home schoolers are familiar with one of the titles, What Ever Happened to Penny Candy?, but have not yet made use of the rest of the series.  Reading, note taking, and some additional writing and research assignments will be homework.  If you are building a transcript, this class could be one half credit in social science called “Geopolitics”. I encourage every family to get the whole set, but also have a limited number of books available to rent for $30/semester.  I plan to offer Part 2 in the spring                         

Required Books:  

1.   Personal, Career, & Financial Security  

2.  What Ever Happened to Penny Candy? 

3.  What Ever Happened to Justice?  

4.  Are You Liberal, Conservative, or Confused?  

5.  Ancient Rome & How It affects You Today           

Prerequisite:  A basic knowledge of world history and geography is very helpful.

Ages 14+

No class Oct 1 and Oct 22
