A one-semester course for grades 6 or 7 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.
Encomium & Vituperation continues the development of the art of persuasive writing and oration. This is the seventh 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:
- Discern the main idea
- Use hyperbole and thesis
- Incorporate background and supportive detail
- Understand the difference between the genres of biography and autobiography
- Note the good and poor qualities present in a person or event
- Contrast different behaviors after weighing their merits
- Craft effective conclusions that encourage readers either to emulate or avoid specific behaviors
- Learn to write a research paper in all its parts, including making notecards, outlining, integrating sources, and citing sources
Please note: This digital items in in this set are not refundable.
