Home School Curriculum

This 24-page resource is designed to maximize the literary benefits of the novel By Darkness Hid in a homeschooling format. It includes chapter discussion questions, as-you-read bookmarks to help your student increase his vocabulary skills, hands-on artistic activities that include making a map and designing your own heraldic flag, and fun creative writing assignments.

A student/teacher lesson plan gives a day-to-day schedule to work through the novel in three weeks. By allowing one extra week for additional writing or other projects, a student can finish the book in one month.

Special Offer: When you purchase this guide you will also receive a code that will give you a 15% discount off of any one of the books in the Blood of Kings trilogy.

How it Got Published

Mary Agius, the coauthor of the homeschool curriculum that goes with Jeff Gerke’s Art & Craft of Writing Christian Fiction Workbook, emailed me and asked if I’d like to write a homeschool curriculum to go with By Darkness Hid. We brainstormed a bit and each started working on different parts of the project. Mary did most the work. I wrote the discussion questions and found a scroll and the shield. I also designed the cover. But Mary did pretty much everything else. She and I are working on creating homeschool guides for books two and three.

As of right now, this is a download-only product. We have yet to find a printer who will print a booklet with so few pages that won’t cost a fortune up front. If we find a place and start offering a printed version for sale, I will let you know.
