The Answer Key contains the answers to the exercises in the Classical Rhetoric Student Text by Martin Cothran (#6130 sold separately). Learn More

Classical Rhetoric is not one of those subjects that many parents have experience with, which is one reason why our customers have long been clamoring for an instructional DVD to go along with the course. Although Martin Cothran’s Classical Rhetoric is self-instructional, it is still nice to have the author helping your student through material that would otherwise be unfamiliar. In this DVD, Mr. Cothran takes the subject of persuasive communication and brings Aristotle’s principles to life by drawing on current events and his own experiences speaking and debating. For those homeschool parents and teacher who want some help teaching rhetoric, Classical Rhetoric is now available on DVD!

Memoria Press’ video course features Martin Cothran, author of the book, Classical Rhetoric: Aristotle’s Principles of Persuasion. These DVDs include Mr. Cothran’s verbal instructions on every aspect of the course, including supplementary exercises, and include helpful graphics slides to help explain the content. There are lectures for each lesson, plus an introduction and four case studies. The lesson lectures average 45 minutes each.

Used along with Classical Rhetoric, your new DVD course will enable you to bring a master teacher into your home.

This Blue Workbook#13048, along with the accompanying Blue Workbook Key#13049 and the Core Instructor Text#7946, make up Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: a complete course that takes students from basic definitions (“A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea”) through advanced sentence structure and analysis—all the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence.

This innovative program combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching), repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction), and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience).

Program Features

• • Scripted lessons make it possible for any parent or teacher to use the program effectively.
• • Step-by-step instruction takes students from the most basic concepts through advanced grammatical concepts such as modal and hortative verbs and multiple functions of noun clauses.
• • Extensive diagramming exercises reinforce the rules and help technical and visual learners to understand and use the English language effectively. All diagrams are thoroughly explained to the instructor/parent.
• • Text for examples and exercises are drawn from great works of literature, as well as from well-written nonfiction texts in science, mathematics, and the social sciences. • Regular review built into each year of work.
• • The program is easily customizable to each student’s strengths and weaknesses.

Program Components

Each year, parents and teachers go through the scripted dialogue, rules, and examples in the Core Instructor Text. Instructor notes thoroughly explain any ambiguities and and how to handle concepts that the student may find difficult. This text will be used for all 4 years of instruction.

Students follow along in any color Workbook. There are four Workbooks, one for each year, but are not done in any particular order. Each Workbook contains the same rules and examples—but each has completely different sets of exercises and assignments, allowing students to develop a wide-ranging knowledge of how the rules and examples are put to use in writing. This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and examples in the student’s mind.

A Workbook Key, of matching color, provides not only answers, but also explanations for the parent/instructor, and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous (as, in English, they often are).

All of the rules covered, along with the repeated examples for each, are assembled for ongoing reference in The Grammar Guidebook #7949. This will become the student’s indispensable guide to writing through high school, into college and beyond. This book is not required for the program but is highly recommended!

The Diagramming Dictionary #0281 assembles into one handy manual all of the principles that govern diagramming the English language—from basic subject/predicate layout through advanced sentence structure and analysis. In every example, the simple subject is underlined once, the simple predicate is underlined twice, and the element being described is in green. Beautifully designed diagrams walk the reader through how to illustrate each and every part of the English sentence. This book is not required for the program but is highly recommended regardless of the grammar program you are using!

Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become.

Includes 7 new poems, including “Brown Girl Dreaming”.
