It assumes that students learn best by reading excellent, whole-story examples of literature and by growing their skills through imitation. Each exercise is intended to impart a skill (or tool) that can be employed in all kinds of writing and speaking. The exercises are arranged from simple to more complex. What’s more, the exercises are cumulative, meaning that later exercises incorporate the skills acquired in preceding exercises. This series is a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: \u0026amp;quot; century gothic\u0026amp;quot;,sans-serif; font-size: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e \u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eA one-semester course for grades 5 or 6 and up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: \u0026amp;quot; century gothic\u0026amp;quot;,sans-serif; font-size: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eThink of the \u003cem style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eprogymnasmata\u003c\/em\u003e as a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric.

In this book, students will learn to identify and refute, or criticize, parts of a narrative that are unbelievable, improbable, unclear, or improper. A confirmation is a short essay that defends certain parts of a narrative. When students see parts of a narrative that are believable, probable, clear, or proper, they will confirm them. After learning to identify the parts of a story that can be attacked or defended, students will practice writing refutations or confirmations using sound arguments to explain their opinions. Be assured that this exercise of refutation and confirmation is not about taking the magic out of stories. On the contrary, it is designed to help students love truly good stories even more because they will think about them more deeply. As students practice refutation and confirmation in this book, they will not only learn to form arguments and express their opinions, but also to find delight in the stories they read.
