Synopsis:

Language Arts for Grammar Students is a comprehensive classical grammar and composition course for upper elementary students (4th to 6th grade). Composition lessons are based on the fable exercise of the ancient progymnasmata. Fable & Song contains twenty-eight lessons, each designed around a timeless literary or poetry selection—twelve fables from Aesop, twelve poems, mostly from Robert Louis Stevenson, and four parables of Jesus from the Bible. Every lesson includes:• Poetry & Prose—literary analysis: reading and comprehending the basic components of a story or poem, including characters, conflict, and resolution• Language Logic—grammar and word usage: spelling analysis, homonyms, synonyms, antonyms, capitalization, punctuation, parts of speech, sentence diagramming, and dictation• Eloquent Expression—style development: paraphrasing, figures of speech, poetry rhyme & meter• Classical Composition—imitation of a worthy literary model: retelling a fable or parable, inventing new characters and settings for a fable, and the writing sequence (plan, write, revise)• Copybook—a invaluable exercise for all ages and stages: careful and precise reproduction of a worthy literary selectionThe timing of the lessons is flexible to suit a variety of student and classroom needs. Each of the twenty-eight lessons may be covered in a week, or over several weeks. Fable & Song is designed for use in the classroom, co-op, or homeschool setting.Fable & Song is appropriate for 4th to 6th grade students but could be used very effectively by older students as well.Cottage Press is dedicated to the classical liberal arts, which set a proper course for a lifetime pursuit of wisdom by teaching the student to think, to love learning, and to passionately desire truth, beauty, and goodness.
