MaytƩ G. asked:Can anyone recommend a History class that is focused on the "big picture?" I want a class that is not focused on names and dates but instead focuses on the story line. I don't want my kiddo memorizing just to memorize. ETA: DS will be a Junior in HS...We have kind of unschooled History thus far.Nancy L. replied:US History with Becky Frank at https://www.facebook.com/1745057719082737 Excelsior Classes. She is an excellent teacher and does such a great job of making history real for her students and not just names & dates.

Beverly E. asked:My son was enrolled in the summer Film Making Camp, anyone know if there are any other Film making camps available any where?Tom K. replied:Hi Beverly, I was the filmmaking instructor at Landry Academy and I taught the camp in NC. I'm so sorry that the camp was cancelled. Unfortunately, that is a piece we haven't figured out yet. I still teach my online classes (at www.Excelsiorclasses.com), but camps are a whole different ballgame. The Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp is one I've heard of, but I don't know details. There are numerous smaller camps around the country and you should be able to find them through google or local homeschool networks if Colorado isn't workable for you.

Carla N. asked:Looking for suggestions for a writing class for my 14 year old. She loves to write but has never had formal instruction....other than elementary English curriculums we have used. Spelling and punctuation are not a strong point, so Iād like something that incorporates some learning in that area. I am looking for something that will teach the different kinds of writing....essays, persuasive, narrative, etc...Any suggestions of classes or teachers would be appreciated. Literature included would be a plus, but not required. Thanks!!Jess W. replied:You'll find there are many options. I have a Foundations of Composition class that sounds like it would be a wonderful fit. Please feel free to ask questions if you'd like more info. Class info can be found at Excelsiorclasses.com, or I'm happy to email you a sample recording and syllabus if you'd like.

Carol R. asked:Does anyone know of an on-line high school Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature class, taught from a Christian Worldview, being offered for the 2017-2018 academic year? In my research, I saw that Potter's School offered a semester of each a few years ago, but I don't see it on next year's list. I don't see such a class being offered anywhere else, either. Thanks.Jenny C. replied:Marilyn Whitlock has a Sci-Fi book club at https://www.facebook.com/1745057719082737 Excelsior Classes for next year that might fill this need!

Carrie N. asked:Hello, all! I remember reading in the Landry Newspaper about the teacher of the year (or something like that) who was the US History teacher. Everyone said she was so creative and even dressed up in costume from different time periods, etc. Does anyone know this teacher's name and if she is teaching US History on a different online platform next year? Thanks so much!Jenny C. replied:Becky Rayburn Frank and Susan Beam Eggers are both teaching at https://www.facebook.com/1745057719082737 Excelsior Classes...I don't know which it might be, I could see either of them doing that and both are wonderful! š

I just know that I was seriously considering having my dd take it next year.Susan G. replied:Excelsior Classes is offering Biology as well as a variety of other courses from elite, former Landry instructors. excelsiorclasses.com
