Bards & Poets I Teaching Helps: Language Arts for Intermediate Students

Accompanies Bards & Poets I, a grammar and composition course for 6th grade and up with lessons structured around the narrative exercise of the progymnasmata. Each lesson is based on a narrative from classic children’s literature or history, or on a classic poem. Grammar lessons are applied to sentences from the narrative, including challenging sentence diagramming lessons. Also includes studies in poetry, literary analysis, figures of speech, and figures of description. Visit cottagepresspublishing.net/language-arts-for-intermediate-students for additional information. Cottage Press is dedicated to the classical liberal arts, which set a proper course for a lifetime pursuit of wisdom by teaching the student to think, to love learning, and to passionately desire truth, beauty, and goodness. Toward that end, our Language Arts books are dedicated to developing “ready scribes” (Psalm 45:1) – scholars who are able to pen pleasing and winsome themes, flowing from hearts of virtue.
