Continue to use the classical approach in all of your subjects- - including writing! Memoria Press' Classical Composition program has updated the teacher's manuals that go along with their updated versions of author James Selby's classic homeschool curriculum.
This series is designed for students as young as 6th grade, and teaches students the fourteen composition skills known as the progymnasmata. This Characterization level VII stage provides 15 lessons that comprise the 7th of 14 stages.
This stage focuses on stylistic skills, as well as furthering skills of Invention and Arrangement. These exercises also hone sequencing abilities through narrative-based soliloquy exercises. Students work on mastering paraphrasing as they characterize readings sentence-by-sentence in the present, past, and future tenses---and with each sentence limited by a word count.
Successful students will gain the skills necessary to effectively communicate through both written and oral composition while mastering memory and delivery skills and developing vocabulary, diction, spelling, grammar, style, word variation, sentence structure, and more.
10th Grade is the recommended grade for this set of books; however it may be used by older students. 61 pages, softcover. Non-reproducible, consumable worktext. Classical Composition Book VII / Book 7.
