Every product has a story.
From the coffee in your morning cup to the phone in your hand, modern life is powered by a vast and complex web of global trade. In Trade Routes & Economics, students uncover how goods, ideas, and wealth move across the world and how those systems have shaped civilizations from ancient times to today.
This 18-week, interdisciplinary course blends world history, economic geography, and real-world economics into a hands-on, investigation-driven learning experience. Students do not just learn about trade. They map it, analyze it, debate it, and ultimately design their own role within it.
What Students Will Explore
Ancient trade networks like the Silk Road and trans-Saharan routes
The Age of Exploration and the global expansion of trade empires
The Industrial Revolution and the rise of mass production
Modern global supply chains and logistics systems
Currency, markets, and the flow of money worldwide

By examining Hollywood's greatest classics alongside today's most acclaimed films, students discover that the art of storytelling has evolved dramatically while its core principles remain timeless.
What Students Will Learn
This course teaches students to "read" film the way they read literature. Through carefully paired classic and modern films, students master the visual language of cinema: composition, camera movement, editing, sound design, lighting, and narrative structure. They learn to analyze why certain shots create tension, how color conveys emotion, and what separates good filmmaking from great filmmaking.
Course Highlights
Students watch and analyze films including Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Rear Window, and Lawrence of Arabia paired with modern counterparts like The Social Network, La La Land, Knives Out, Get Out, and Dunkirk. Each pairing illuminates how filmmakers across generations approach similar storytelling challenges.
Hands-On Learning
This is not a sit-and-watch course. Students maintain detailed film analysis journals, create storyboards, experiment with camera techniques using their smartphones, design their own lighting setups, write original scenes, and complete a capstone project where they produce their own short film, create a video essay, or remake a classic scene with their own interpretation.
Skills That Transfer
The analytical and creative skills developed in this course extend far beyond film appreciation. Students strengthen critical thinking, visual literacy, persuasive writing, research skills, and creative problem-solving. They learn to support arguments with evidence, identify bias in media, and communicate complex ideas clearly.

Charting Your Course: Goal Setting for Homeschoolers
By Tricia Siletti | From Earth to Sky Education
What if students learned to design their lives with intention instead of simply completing assignments?
Charting Your Course is a 15-week, hands-on goal-setting course designed specifically for homeschool students in grades 6–12. Instead of focusing on grades and tests, this course teaches one of the most important life skills a young person can develop: how to set meaningful goals and pursue them with clarity, discipline, and resilience.
Students begin by discovering who they are. They explore their values, strengths, interests, and personal story. From there, they learn how to craft a vision for their future and transform their ideas into structured, actionable goals.
But this course goes further than traditional goal-setting programs.
Students are taught to write stretch goals. These are ambitious goals deliberately set slightly beyond what feels comfortable or easily achievable. Stretch goals push students to think creatively, develop new skills, and grow into the kind of person capable of achieving something bigger than they first imagined. Instead of aiming for safe targets, students learn how to pursue goals that expand their potential.
Equally important, students learn what to do when things do not go as planned.
One of the most powerful lessons in this course is that failure is not the opposite of success. It is part of the process. Students are taught a practical Failure Recalibration Framework, which guides them through how to analyze setbacks, extract lessons, adjust their plan, and move forward with greater wisdom and resilience. Charting-Your-Course-Goal-Setti…
Throughout the semester students will:
• Identify their core personal values
• Write a personal vision statement for their future
• Build SMART stretch goals with clear action plans
• Learn time management and habit-building strategies
• Develop resilience, grit, and growth mindset thinking
• Track progress through reflective journaling
• Research a real person who achieved a significant goal
• Complete and present their own personal goal project
The course culminates in a Goal Showcase, where students present their research project and reflect on their personal growth throughout the semester. Charting-Your-Course-Goal-Setti…
Rather than memorizing information, students learn how to direct their own lives.
By the end of this course, students do not just understand goal setting.
They have practiced it, tested it, struggled with it, and experienced the growth that comes from pursuing something that truly matters.
This is not just a class.
It is a framework for a life lived intentionally.
Course Details
Grades: 6–12
Length: 15 Weeks
Format: Discussion, activities, journaling, and project-based learning
Assessment: Portfolio and final presentation rather than traditional tests
Perfect for homeschool co-ops, independent study, or small learning groups.
