Student Sample
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. This is the eighth in a series of 12 books that will train students over 6 years.
In this one-semester book, students will learn to:
- Compare subjects of American history from the Gilded Age to the Great Depression of the 1930s
- Use topic sentences for organizing paragraphs and information
- Create analogies for powerful appeals to emotion
- Incorporate supportive facts, details, and quotations
- Annotate texts and write brief narrative overviews
- Craft effective conclusions that encourage curiosity for future study
- Work on delivery in public speaking—volume, pacing, and inflection
- Build copiousness through sentence variety and rhetorical devices, including analogy, simile, metaphor, chiasma, hypophora, parallelism, and anastrophe
- Engage in group discussions that foster critical thinking
- Improve essays using oration as an aid to revision
