World Religions for Middle School/High School Students
Wednesdays beginning September 1st

World Religions from a Christian Perspective for Middle School and High School
Everyone believes in something. Why? The focus of this class is to understand religious humans and why they believe what they do, distinctly from a Christian perspective. Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and some Chinese/Japanese traditions will be explored in theme, deity, writings, beliefs, and practices. In each subject, you can count on questions, discussion, and projects. “The Christian will confront the deepest meanings of the gospel, the good news of the Christian faith, with the challenges within the religions of revelation, authority, salvation, ethics, and peace” (Braswell, Jr. xvi). The text, Understanding World Religions, by George W. Braswell, Jr. will be the primary source of information, though it’s not necessary for purchase it will be beneficial.
Recommended age is 13+ as the reading is a bit advanced and the discussions will be deep. (No worries, HEAT family, you know I have to also keep it fun!)

Teacher Bio: My name is Amy Loesch and I will be teaching English 101, 201, Creative Writing, Public Speaking, World Religions, Old Testament, New Testament, and History. I graduated in 2009 with a BA in Religious Education. I continued my MA in Teaching in Secondary English, but had to stop shy of my semester of student teaching due to deployment. Since then, I've been a substitute teacher at Providence Classical Christian Academy in St. Louis, MO, have been homeschooling my four children since winter of 2016, and have taught numerous classes with the HEAT program. My philosophy is that no student learns exactly the same as another and that learning should be hard work but FUN!
Spaces are limited for these courses and will fill as payment is received .You may pay via PayPal, drop payment by the Homeschool Resource Center or mail to Tampa Bay HEAT, 1011 Knowles Rd. Brandon, 33511.
