A one-semester course for grades 5 or 6 and up
Think of the progymnasmata as a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric. In the award-winning Writing & Rhetoric series, author Paul Kortepeter has recovered this proven method of teaching writing in conjunction with critical thinking and speaking.
Writing & Rhetoric: Commonplace provides students with forms and models of excellent writing that they will imitate as they progress down the path to masterful writing. This is the sixth in a series of 12 books that will train students over 6 years.
In addition to practicing skills they learned in earlier books, students will learn to:
Write six-paragraph essays
Support a thesis statement
Argue against certain vices
Argue for certain virtues
Use comparison and contrast
Introduce and conclude an essay
Use a rhetorical device known as “the contrary”
Invent soliloquies to support an argument
Deliver writing orally
Revise writing
