A one-semester course for grades 5 or 6 and up
Think of the progymnasmata as a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric.
In the Writing & Rhetoric series, author Paul Kortepeter has recovered this proven method of teaching writing in conjunction with critical thinking and speaking.
Writing & Rhetoric: Refutation & Confirmation (Student Edition) provides students with forms and models of excellent writing that they will imitate as they progress down the path to masterful writing.
This is the fifth in a series of 12 books that will train students over 6 years.
Refutation & Confirmation A refutation is a short essay that attacks certain parts of a narrative.
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.
Students will learn to:
Write four-paragraph essays
Outline Refute or confirm parts of stories
Understand comparison and contrast Introduce and conclude an essay
Use narrative to further the purpose of exposition
Use direct quotes to support an argument
Deliver writing orally
Revise writing
