Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Composition as a Social Problem Much of the failure of schools to develop any literary power beyond that of simple, direct ex position and narration is due to this neglect of feeling. If it were not for shades of feeling, what we know as literary style would not: exist. Its fine variations of form are due not so much to difierences of cold Objective truth as to the subtle variations of attitude with which we confront reality. Poetic expression is different from the prosaic because of the dominance of the subjee tive factors in our desire to express ourselves. We shall never thoroughly enrich our composi tion-teaching until we accept the principle that the development of attitudes is as necessary as the development of an accurate comprehension of the varied world which we are to describe and discuss.

Download or read book Practical English Composition Classic Reprint written by Carolyn M. Gerrish and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical English Composition It is the purpose of this book to accomplish four things for the student: (1) to give him continually increasing power in original composition; (2) to train him in habits of accuracy in mechanical form (spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.); (3) to develop his interest in good literature; and (4) to stimulate his interest in the affairs of the world in which he lives. From the beginning of the book to the end, students are required to do creative work and are trained to select, arrange, and express ideas so as to make the best use of what they know. The method of teaching is inductive. Models are used in such a way as to encourage and to develop original thought and expression. No blind imitation of models is possible if the method of the book is followed. This requires persistent effort along definitely indicated lines. Beginning with very simple work, the exercises gradually increase in difficulty in both subject matter and technical requirement. The assignments for student practice are varied and very extensive, ranging from the practical to the theoretical, from matters of everyday experience to matters of imagination and fancy. The subjects assigned have been taken almost entirely from lists made out by students when asked to hand in subjects in which they were interested and on which they would like to write. Necessarily, these subjects touch all phases of the lives of young people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Essentials of English Composition Classic Reprint written by Horace S. Tarbell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of English Composition This book is designed for grammar schools and the lower classes in high schools. It may also be profitably used in ungraded schools, and for the private study of those who are desirous of personal improvement in the art of writing. It is complete in its treatment of the practical features that underlie the art of composition. To put complete and connected thoughts upon paper should not be more difficult than to express such thoughts orally. Each form of expression has its difficulties and its advantages. Training in oral speech precedes that in written speech, and, from our greater familiarity with the oral form of expression, it seems the more natural. There is much to be gained, however, from the use of the pen. If the writer fails. To express his thoughts clearly at first, he can change and improve what has been written. The painstaking construction of one's own forms of expression is a chief condition of improvement. A book designed to teach the art of writing must furnish both instruction as to the principles on which good writing is based and exercises adapted to training in the art of speaking and writing.

Download or read book College Life Its Conditions and Problems written by Maurice G. Fulton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from College Life, Its Conditions and Problems: A Selection of Essays for Use in College Writing Courses The remainder of the book deals with the student interests outside of the curriculum, such as general reading, recreation and athletics, college spirit, college morals, student government, etc. The second value that this material has for the course in English composition is that it enables the instructor to make the course incite to thinking and to intellectual expansion. In the composition course it seems wise to emphasize ideas, rather than literary models or set exercises, by allowing the student to encounter fresh and stimulating thoughts, which one may adopt and apply to one's own experience, or which one may combat or modify in accordance with individual conviction. To throw the emphasis upon formal matters is unwise and is an illustration of what Huxley has described as making the student practice the use of knife, fork, and spoon without giving him a particle of meat. But if the student is provided before he writes with the materials of thought in the form of some reading which, firmly thought out and clearly expressed, stimulates to thinking, the ways and means of clear expression assume new significance to him. The field of college life offers many inviting subjects for writing and oral discussion which are well within the comprehension and experience of the student. The selections in this book are therefore intended as a body of stimulating material. Though suggestiveness in point of ideas has been the main criterion of choice, these selections will serve well also as models of clear, direct, and incisive modern English. The selections have not been brought together for the purpose of representing the different types of discourse, but simply to set the student to the general task of correct and effective writing. It so happens, however, that these selections will readily serve as a basis for the expository and argumentative writing which, in most colleges, is the fundamental part of the first-year course in writing.

Download or read book Advanced English Composition Classic Reprint written by Michael West and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced English Composition The teacher's main duty is to set work, to appraise it, and criticise it. The actual amount of oral teaching to be done is very small. The chief work is the correction of essays. 1. Setting the Essay. - (1) State the subject, or subjects. It is not necessary that all should write on the same subject. In the case of Technical essays it is impossible, for the number of reference books is small. There should be a fixed list of technical essay subjects. All should write on each subject; but not all in the same week. It is a good thing to draw up a programme. Copying is so easily detected here that it is not worth attempting. When the whole of a subject cannot be worked out in one period, plus its evening's preparation, two periods may be given. But it is better to divide up the subject into sections, e.g. 1st period, drawing up of notes; 2nd, writing first scene; 3rd, writing second scene (in the case of a story); first part, etc. (in the case of an essay). A single essay subject may take a fortnight for the boys to write. 2. Explaining the Treatment. - This should be very brief and very practical.
