INTRODUCTION
Welcome to The Cord of Three Strands, the Flagship Work for 8th grade at Discern Academy.
The Cord of Three Strands is the third book in The Adventures of Boyo series. It deeply explores friendship, responsibility, and adventures in the Maine wilderness.
 
This book enables students to continue with Tom Timothy and his adventures. His experiences become more intense and more real as he struggles with fear and forgiveness. The plight of his father trapped behind enemy lines in Germany becomes even more dangerous.

Our goal at Discern Academy is to immerse you in great literature so that you can increase your critical thinking skills, improve your writing ability, and escalate your reading comprehension while enjoying quality writings.
Immediately following this video, you will find key documents that will make your learning experience better. Please take the time to review them and take notes.

Through an intentional spiral curriculum, students will continue to develop their vocabulary, deepen their reading comprehension, sharpen their writing skills, and
strengthen their Biblical knowledge. They will climb a spiral staircase of critical thinking and mastery of the essentials of 8th grade reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.

Blessings and enjoy the novel
