Product Overview
This groundbreaking writing series combines time-tested classical techniques – the imitation and analysis of great writers – with original composition exercises in history, science, biography, and literature. Scripted dialogue is provided for when students have difficulty, plus detailed guidance on how to evaluate their work. Straightforward, detailed explanations of how to construct and organize compositions prepare students for high-level rhetoric and composition. All source material for assignments is provided in the required workbook; no other books are needed.
Level 2 is designed as the perfect next step for students who have completed Level 1. Skills taught include one-, two-, and three-level outlining; writing chronological narratives, biographical sketches, scientific descriptions, sequences across the curriculum; constructing critical literary essays on fiction and poetry; researching and documenting source material; and composing internet comments with both clarity and grace. (The last one isnât true; some things are beyond our control).
Erika Young –
My daughter is in 6th grade and has completed the first 4 books of Writing and Rhetoric. We want to switch to Writing with Skill. Would you recommend book 1 or book 2?
