Full program includes: Writing & Rhetoric Book 1: Fable (consumable student edition)
This book teaches students the practice of close reading and comprehension, summarizing a story aloud and in writing, and amplification of a story through description and dialogue.
Students learn how to identify different kinds of stories; determine the beginning, middle, and end of stories; recognize point of view; and see analogous situations, among other essential tools.
Lessons include: Narration/telling it back (creating a natural sense of outline/sequence) Analogy—learning how this story is like/different from other stories Comprehension Sentence play/word play Rewriting (gaining a sense of internal structure of a piece of writing) Summary Amplification Rewriting given stories Speak It—experiencing the story from your own mouth (orally) with an audience for a different point of contact, often with some sort of change than the first time you heard it.
