4Practice III Student Book: Second Edition

4Practice III is a supplement to The Magic Lens III and is the practice workbook for the seventh level of the MCT language arts curriculum. It contains one hundred sentences taken from some of the greatest works of classic literature, giving illuminating insights into how great writers achieve meaning, beauty, and depth in their writing. Each sentence uses vocabulary from The Word Within the Word III and the poetic devices studied in Poetry, Plato, and the Problem of Truth. Students work through the sentences using the unique four-level analysis method that is explained in The Magic Lens III. Each sentence appears on a separate page with four blank lines beneath it where students can fill in the parts of speech, the parts of the sentence, phrases, and clauses. By examining a wide range of sentences, students will experience the satisfaction of a clear understanding of the principles of English sentences.
