Join the intergalactic adventure of Sandfly and HardCandy as they board DarkTrench in search of The Superlative Stream. This curriculum guide is designed to introduce students to various science concepts that require deeper research such as astronomy, matter and the elements. Students are prompted to think more carefully about different world views and Islam while searching the Scriptures as well. A Student/teacher lesson plan is included that gives a daily schedule for all reading, writing and special research projects/ assignments. Chapter discussion questions determine reading comprehension and allow a barometer to test competency in this area. Bookmarks are included to log new vocabulary words. Students must then utilize the words in sentences. By incorporating the discussion questions and the vocabulary assignments, students encapsulate the main points of the text and its meaning by summarizing each chapter, and eventually a book summary.SCRIPTURE LOOK UPS are specific verses mentioned throughout the story. Finding the exact reference helps students to identity and understand the application of the Bible verse. WORLDVIEW PERSPECTIVES give the student a chance to examine the ideologies mentioned in each chapter. These perspectives permeate our modern day world and are therefore worth identifying and studying closer in order to formulate a more educated opinion.In ISLAM INSIGHT, students take a deeper look at the religion of Islam by examining the items mentioned from the story to determine if they line up with the teaching of the Quran. Being educated about Islam should serve as a reference point to encourage dialogue and ministry among Muslims. A SOCIOLOGY EXPERIENCE is an opportunity to have a taste of what it would be like to be a Muslim living in the US. ASTRONOMY assignments are included that require students to research data on Stars & their stages, Nebulae & Light Years. This broader look at our universe helps to reinforce the magnificent imagination and detail of the Creator of it all. A CHARACTER STUDY helps students to develop the skill of character analysis by looking at and comparing the various physical traits, characteristics and personalities of the three “more than human” people. In addition, identifying their attitudes, internal motivation and struggles requires more thorough reading.So, if The Superlative Stream is a Sci-Fi book your student would enjoy reading why not expand the value of that choice with a curriculum guide, thus making it a “book and a half”.
