Download or read book Composition and Rhetoric for Higher Schools Classic Reprint written by Sara Elizabeth Husted Lockwood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric for Higher Schools Certain demands may fairly be made of any textbook that purposes to serve the cause of good teaching and aims to win an honorable place in the classroom. Two of these demands take the form of the categorical imperative: the book must be practical, and it must be adequate in scope and content. To these two should be added a third - the book must be interesting; for to sentence students to the use of a dull and lifeless text-book is, often, to condemn them to a lifelong distaste for the subject of that particular book. Then, in these days of many books, the newcomer may fairly be asked to show some traits of its own such as stamp personality on a man or a woman, - traits which will mark it out at once from other books in its class. Two of the important characteristics which give this book its distinct individuality are: (1) The cumulative method of treatment shown in the text in the illustrative examples and especially in the exercises; and (2) The constant emphasis laid on the pupil's own thinking and writing. These features are particularly well illustrated in the treatment of the paragraph. In the early part of the book the single paragraph is made the unit of writing; then, naturally and gradually, related paragraphs are introduced; and, finally, these develop into the longer theme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric It is believed that well-prepared students of the first and second years of the high-school can use this book, although certain schools which have not been able to devote much time to the study of English might find it profitable in the third and fourth years. In either case it is hoped that this book may be a directing and suggestive force, especially if it be supplemented by frank class-criticism upon the themes. Too much can not be said of the value of such criticism from teachers and students. It is often difficult to draw out, but once it is secured, it will be found to have both a stimulating and a restraining influence on the written work of the students, and will make the study of English a pleasure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School English: Composition-Rhetoric-Literature The literature selections have been edited with the design not only of supplying necessary information but also of inducing the student to do his own thinking. There is at present far too much so-called appreciation and far too little real thought expended upon literature. In the prepara tion of the Exercises and of the Notes and Questions the authors have constantly borne in mind this supreme aim of education - the development of the ability to think. Teachers are therefore urged to require the students to write all the Exercises and to answer all the Questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition: A d104-Book for Schools and Colleges This book is designed as a practical introduction to English composition. In "The Science of Rhetoric," - the advanced work of the series, - the aim is to present the laws of discourse as a scientific system. In this book, the aim is to furnish a compendium of rules for guidance in the art of writing. It is taken for granted that those who will use this book can both read and write simple English sentences. For such students, the mere making of sentences is an unprofitable exercise. What they especially need is direction how to concentrate the mind upon the work of composing. The only way to acquire skill in writing is by actual practice in the various processes of the art. Accordingly, learners should first be assisted in finding a subject of thought, and then be shown how to accumulate, arrange, and express the ideas connected with the theme. This view has given shape to the treatment of composition in this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Composition Rhetoric written by Fred Newton Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition-Rhetoric: Designed for Use in Secondary Schools IN the preparation of this work the authors have been guided by three considerations, which have seemed to them to be of fundamental importance. First, it is desirable that a closer union than has pre vailed hitherto be brought about between secondary com position and secondary rhetoric. That rhetoric in the high school should be regarded as a thing apart from composi tion, that it should be regarded simply as a course, to be pursued and passed and put out of remembrance as quickly as possible, is not good either for rhetoric or for composi tion. In this book, as the name signifies, no such apartness has been recognized. The rhetoric which is found in this book is meant to be the theory of the pupil's practice, nothing more, - the explicit statement of principles which are implicit in all successful elementary composition. If here and there the temptation to put in rhetorical furniture which no gentleman's mind should be without, has not been wholly thrust aside, such temptation has, at least, been manfully resisted. To this let the treatment of figurative expressions bear witness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Composition and Rhetoric written by William Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric: By Practice, With Exercises, Adapted for Use in High Schools and Colleges This is, first of all, a practical book; not that it excludes theory, but that it gives prominence to practice. If this were not the case, it need not have been written. There are already books enough that deal ably with the theoretical part of the subject, but there are none that combine with theory a sufficient amount of practice. As composition is both a science and an art, no system of teaching it can be successful that does not recognize both of these departments. Young people do not acquire facility and correctness of expression merely by memorizing rules or by poring over methods of sentential structure. Repeated and varied experience in the making of sentences is necessary as well. Still, the learning of principles is not to be neglected; for, although it is not the whole, it is an essential part. How, then, can these two departments of the subject be most advantageously presented to the pupil? Every discerning teacher must have found that little theory and much practice is by far the most effective method of teaching composition. On this maxim this book is based; and its purpose is to furnish the teacher with the means of carrying into effect the plan here indicated. It proceeds on the simple method of laying down a few principles at a time, and then illustrating them with such number and variety of exercises that the pupil may fully master the practical application of these principles, and thereby learn not only to write, but to write correctly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Modern Composition and Rhetoric: Brief Course; Containing the Principles of Correct English for Schools Nearly two thousand years ago Quintilian defined rhetoric as the art of speaking well. Had he lived in the present age, he would undoubtedly have said, the art of speaklng and' of writing well. No better phrase can be found to describe the true function of rhetoric to-day. Previous to the last decade it was regarded as an ornamental study, abounding in theory and subtle dis tinctions of diction and style. With the development of the study of English in the schools came an awakening to the true value of rhetoric, and its relation to the study of literature and composition. To-day rhetoric and com position are inseparably associated in teaching the methods of simple, direct, and accurate expression, the principle of one being supplemented by the abundant practice of the other.

Download or read book A Manual of Composition and Rhetoric written by John S. Hart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Composition and Rhetoric: For Use in Schools and Colleges His is, on the face of it, a text - book. It has been written for learners, not for the learned. Its object is, not to ex tend the boundaries of the science by excursions into debatable ground, but to present its admitted truths in a form easily apprehended. By this statement, however, I do not wish to convey the idea that the treatise is unscientific in its character or its methods. I mean merely that I have studiously avoided cumbering my book with the many abstruse and still unsolved questions which environ the subject. Those questions are not without interest or value, and few persons have a keener relish for their discussion than the writer, whose life-long studies have been in that precise line of inquiry. But original investigation is felt to be out of place in a text-book for instruction in the elements. At the same time, it is believed, the attentive reader, who is familiar with the recent literature of the science, will find the subject brought up to the latest clearly ascertained results, while in some directions a decided advance has been made. The text has been, purposely, and most carefully, broken up into portions convenient for the uses of the class-room. These typographical arrangements necessarily give to the pages a somewhat fragmentary appearance.' But any one who will take the trouble to look will see at a glance that the matter throughout is closely connected and continuous, - that it forms a compacted and orderly system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Year English Composition and Rhetoric This book is intended for students in the second year of the high school. It is not a full treatise on composition, nor a complete rhetoric. It includes as many and as much of the principles of these two sub jects as a second-year student may reasonably be expected to master.
