Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Year English for High Schools The author has prepared this little volume with the hope that it may aid in producing more satisfactory results in first year English in high schools. The subject matter follows closely the outline of the New York 1905 Regents syllabus, and is designed to fur nish material for all the work required outside of the pre scribed texts. Certain features such as topical outlines, character sketches, narration, description, etc., which are on the whole new to first year work, have been made especially prominent, while drill in punctuation, letter writing, and sentence analysis has not been neglected. In punctuation the author has followed in the main the editing rules of the New York State Education Department, and in letter writing the forms current in official letters sent out by that department. While the work has been written with the needs of New York schools immediately in View, it is believed that it can be advantageously used for first year work in high schools throughout the country. Where the work has not been definitely organized, the author sug gests. That the appended outline, drawn for high schools of New York State, be adopted in whole or in part.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Book in English for High Schools One of the reasons for the publication of A first book IN english is the belief On the part of the authors and the publishers that a better text of this kind is needed one that is thoroughly adapted to use in the majority of American high schools. To write such a book has been the purpose of the authors, who have brought to the work years of classroom experience in the teaching of English composition to pupils of the junior and the senior high school ages. Principles. Throughout the first book IN english the authors have kept clearly in mind the fundamental problems of English com position: (i) The problem of something to speak or write about; (2) the problems of gathering, evaluating, and organizing material; (3) the problems of expressing thoughts correctly, clearly, sincerely, and pleasingly; and (4) the problem of adapting what is spoken or written to a definite audience or to a definite body of readers. An ex amination of the lessons in this book will Show that these fundamentals have been made basic considerations. Nowhere in the book is there a discussion of the principles of unity, coherence, and emphasis as such. At the same time, the habit of ex pressing unified thoughts coherently and with emphasis is fixed through practice. The pupil learns to present unified, coherent, well-emphasized thoughts by learning through practice to express thoughts that he has first carefully selected, organized, and evaluated. The young pupil should not be confused with abstractions. He must learn by doing. Throughout the book the developing interests and abilities of boys and girls are carefully gauged and considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School English Book One The chapter on Conversations about Books seeks to ih dicate a method for classroom discussions about the books prescribed for the work in literature. The authors believe that reading for pleasure is the chief aim of the literature work, and that the books should therefore be discussed from this point of view. They believe that the class dis eussions should be familiar conversations confined to topics of interest to young people. They would therefore leave the minute analysis of books for style and structure to the fourth high school year or to the college class. Such mi unties, if admitted at all, should be purely incidental. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open Door English Series for the Junior High School, Vol. 1 Purpose. This book in the Open Door English Series is in tended for the first year in the junior high school or for the seventh grade in the elementary school. It endeavors to make a sound, stimulating, and practical approach to the study of English and to provide a thorough training in the subject. The Open Door point of View. One of the most marked ad vances made in education within the past few years concerns the pupils' attitude toward their work. This book, in accordance with this advance, bases its lessons on the actual needs of youth, and makes it possible for each pupil to solve his own problems and make rapid progress in acquiring facility in speaking and writing. In its deeply grounded, true Americanism, it provides equal opportunity for everyone in a class, no matter what his native endowment may be, and, in so doing wins a pupil's co-opera tion and eliminates wasted effort that comes from working against a pupil rather than with him.

Download or read book The High School Course in English Classic Reprint written by Willard G. Bleyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High School Course in English While the plan of the work has been made as flexible as possible in order to adapt it to different schools, it has seemed desirable to indicate definitely how all of the details of the course should be organized and what methods should be used to bring about the required results. The object has been to consider the purpose of each part of the English work, and to show as specifically as possible what must be done and to some extent how it must be done to accomplish this purpose. By having a' definite aim for each year's work and by seeing clearly what is to be accomplished in each part of the subject, the teacher of English feels responsible for the successful completion of a specific part of the course. At the same time the originality and ability of the teacher need not be ham pered by a definite plan but may be exercised in adapting the work to different conditions in different schools and classes. In discussing the course in English, the general aim and methods in teaching the important elements, composition and reading, are taken up first, and then the particular phases of each subject to be presented in each year, are considered. What is presented under the general topics, reading and com position, therefore, applies to the work of each year unless otherwise stated, and usually is not repeated in considering {each year of the course.

This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years of School and College English The papers in this pamphlet are republished as a contribution to the discussion provoked by the reports which were presented in 1892 and 1895 to the Board of Overseers of Harvard College by the Committee on Composition and Rhetoric. Each paper was written independently; the author of each was, at 'the time of writing, charged with the duty of reading the examination books in English produced by candidates for admission to Harvard College. The first paper, Oopies of which were sent by the College authorities to the masters of over two hundred and twenty schools, was published only five years after an examination in English composition was for the first time prescribed for admission the last, after examinations in that subject had been going on for nearly twenty years. Taken together, the five papers show a remarkable agreement both in facts and in inferences and both facts and inferences tend to sustain the general conclusion reached on independent grounds by the Committee of the Board of Overseers - the conclusion that the Secondary Schools need to pay more attention to English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundation English the Expression of Ideas Two demands, seemingly conflicting, have made a new first-year book in English for high schools a necessity, the first being the demand of the college for better written English on the part of the entering students; the second being the demand of the public for a more democratic distribution of courses than a college preparatory school offers. An examination of the two demands will show, however, that they are after all not diametrically opposed. Right thinking, clear and adequate expression, efficiency, are the reasonable and just demands both of the public and of the college. Neither is concerned with the method of doing the work, so long as desired results are obtained. The demand of the college for efficiency of expression has led to compulsory courses in English in our high schools, with a corresponding increase in the number of hours required for the study. No longer is it felt that only the gifted few can write; it is demanded that all shall write. The demand of the public, on the other hand, has led to the reduction of the elementary courses from nine years to eight, and the introduction into the high schools of the so-called vocational courses. The result has been to increase enormously the size of our first-year classes. These people also must be taught to write. In its way, then, the demand of the college is as utilitarian as the demand of the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School English, Vol. 1 Language began long ago when man still lived a rough and-ready life in the open, and was forced to struggle for his existence against great odds. At first his language was very crude and Simple, but it meant something to him and to his fellows. He made himself understood by its use, and he was able to under stand others. Soon he must have had sounds for hunger, for terror that came through the eyes and through the ears, for pain through touch, for bad smells and for good. Each of the five senses had its group of sounds that carried meaning to woman whether she served in her rude home or assisted the man abroad. And as together they fitted sounds to the feelings of smooth and rough, and foul and sweet, language began to develop, and man came to express himself more perfectly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lessons in English Literature: For High Schools and Academies This book is chiefly the outgrowth of experience and observation in teaching English to beginning classes. It is thought that the work outlined will give the pupil something definite to do during the preparation of the lesson, without encroaching upon the time that should be devoted to the recitation itself. By understanding the aim of the lesson, the pupil's mind, through previous application and awakening, becomes a fertile soil into which the seed of the teacher's thought and inspiration may fall and in due time yield an abundant harvest. In choosing the literary selections the needs of the student for life and citizenship have received the first consideration, but the work required for admission to col leges has not been slighted. The aim has been to present types of art in order to furnish an apperceiving basis for future study and appreciation of literature. After a thorough training such as this book is intended to give, more advanced work can be taken up with confidence.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundation English the Expression of Ideas As high school teachers we have been slow to arise to the occasion. Our teaching has often been too aca demic; we have copied the college methods without examining them to see whether they were pedagogically sound as high school methods. The consequence has been that we have allowed our classes to drift along, with the burden of real preparation placed on the pupils of the upper classes. Such slipshod work as this not only has failed to prepare classes properly for college, but has left out of account those pupils who are not preparing for college, as well as those who leave school before the course is completed. We are beginning to see, how ever, that English as well as other branches of study can be taught in a definite and logical manner; that the proper time for beginning the work, whether in prepara tion for college or for the world at large, is in the first year; that, sound as college methods may be for the col lege, they may;r not be sound for the high school; that the whole of rhetoric should not be taught in the first year, or in any year, any more than the whole of algebra or the whole of Latin; that a book containing all the prin ciples of rhetoric is, at this early stage, in the highest degree confusing; and that practice under direction is essential to coherent expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School English, Vol. 2 Comparison of the tables of contents of Books I and II of the High School English series reveals at once a similarity of plans and a close correlation of materials and assignments. Book II is a direct outgrowth on a higher level of the ninth-grade text; it strengthens and complements the work of the earlier book as well as provides a stepping stone to activities of the junior and senior years. Nor does this cor relation begin and end with the two books, for attention is drawn constantly, not only to the importance of English in itself as a means to social and cultural enjoyment, but also to the importance of the mastery of English as a basis for all other work. The study of English is the study of the means of oral and written communication. The purpose, therefore, of Book II, like that of its predecessor, Is to lead high school students to a keener appreciation and mastery of Purpose written and spoken expression. The problem has been to secure the most adequate means to this end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recommended English Readings for High Schools The purpose of this book is to provide for each half year in the four years of the high school course a list of books adapted to the age of the pupils and so grouped as to suggest a special interest every term. Conditions vary so widely, that teachers will often wish to direct their pupils in one term to the groups suggested for another term. No book can take the place of per sonal contact between teacher and pupil. It has seemed, how ever, in the main, that much time could be saved for busy teachers by providing for every pupil an outline such as this. Dictation of lists is a waste of class time; copying posted lists is a waste of pupils' time outside of class. Questions will naturally arise as to the reason for choosing certain groups for certain terms. While the arrangement is not intended to be hard and fast, and the Index will make it easy for the teacher to select groups in whatever order he desires, there have been definite purposes in view.
