Poetics & Progym I:Language Arts for Upper Students

Language Arts for Upper School is a comprehensive classical grammar and composition course for 8th grade and up. Poetics & Progym I, the first book in the Upper School series, is structured around Homer's Odyssey and the narrative, proverb, and anecdote stages of the progymnasmata. Poetics & Progym I contains twenty-eight lessons, each designed around a timeless literary or poetry selection. Every lesson includes:

Poetry & Prose- literary analysis of a story or poem
Language Logic- grammar and word usage in the context of the lesson
Eloquent Expression- style development and figures of speech
Classical Composition- imitation of a worthy literary model
Commonplace Book- a time-honored practice for writers of all ages: collecting and copying worthy literary selections.

Poetics & Progym I Teaching Helps accompanies the Poetics & Progym I student text. It provides detailed instructions and teacher tips for conducting lessons. Includes an Answer Key for all exercises which warrant it.
