Writing & Rhetoric Book 1: Fable Teacher’s Edition - Classic Academic Press

This is the first in a series of 12 books that will train students over 6 years, starting in grades 3 or 4 and up.

Writing & Rhetoric Book 1: Fable Teacher’s Edition includes the complete student text, as well as answer keys, teacher’s notes, and explanations.

For every writing assignment, this edition also supplies descriptions and examples of what excellent student writing should look like, providing the teacher with meaningful and concrete guidance.

Fable, the first book in the Writing & Rhetoric series, 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.

The Writing & Rhetoric series recovers a proven method of teaching writing, using fables to teach beginning writers the craft of writing well.
