1) Fun and Educational Bus Tours
PACZKIS, PIEROGIES & POLKAS

Learn about the wonderful culture of the Polish. Private led docent tour at St Mary's Orchard Lake. Visit historical churches, neighborhoods and other venues that have kept their Polish tradition alive. Best of all... the food! $70/person
QUILTS, QUAKERS & QUESTORS: UNDERGROUND RAILROAD
Southwest MI February 22, 2013
The paths or freedom were the tracks of the Underground Railroad and many led to Michigan, particularly in Southwest Michigan, as African American slaves sought the best routes to Canada. This Michigan tour visits historic sites of undeniable interest to all who would show solidarity with the brave resistance against slaves in our state. $80/person
For more info: www.steponbustours.com
2) Debate and Composition Classes
Tom Borek will be teaching a course in "Pre-College Writing."
Through a mixture of one-on-one feedback and group teaching experiences, over a 10-week period, each student will either be fully prepared for his or her first college paper or will make great progress toward that preparation. Mr. Borek will give weekly writing assignments, analyze/evaluate each assignment in detail, and teach whatever the student needs. Assignments will be individualized as well.
The progression is as follows:
1. Writing with appropriate grammar;
2. Writing in a formal voice;
3. Writing with improved organization and style;
4. Writing persuasively;
5. Researching;
6. Citing authority; and
7. Managing a very large research paper.
Each assignment will be manageable without tears, without excessive parental involvement, and without all-nighters.
