Echinoderms

Check out these incredible videos. The footage is amazing!
Some of these videos come with a strongly pro evolution bias. I use the videos because they have such fantastic footage. I do not agree with the evolution narrative the way it is portrayed in the Shape of Life series and I encourage parents to have a discussion with their children about the origins of the world and worldview if they haven't already. There is no equal to the footage quality in this series so I continue to use them until an alternative is available.

Story Telling 101 - HUGE DISCOUNT

4/14/2018

0 Comments

 
We are so excited about the Media Team that is forming at the new Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center! Young people have already written scripts, held auditions, and will soon be recording their scripts in our new studio! We believe that some of these productions will end up airing on Christian radio stations around the world.

Because we are trying to “jump-start” our media team, we are offering a group discount! If we can get 5 students registered for the Storytelling 101 class by this Friday, we will offer the class for $25 (+Admin Fees)! Normally it is $100! If you would like to take advantage of our “groupon”, please email back before Friday night and let us know. We’ll only register your student for the class if more than five others also register and the price drops to $25.

The entry into our media team is through our Storytelling 101 class. However, this class isn’t just for young adults who want to make an audio drama, it will be a huge benefit to adults of any age that want to write a book, a short story, audio/video drama or any other tale that shares an eternal message.
We would love to have your student in class!

UPDATE: 5 Students have already registered!  Contact Pat Roy today with questions and email Carol VanBoxtel at
Carol@fpfam.org​ to get your student registered.

An interesting article appeared in Popular Science.  High school and middle school students might enjoy this one.  It relates to a discussion we had some time back about free diving and the effect of pressure on the human body.
