Classical Composition II: Narrative

Suggested Grades: 
5th-7th grade

Meeting Info:
Class Duration: 45 minutes

Prerequisites: Taking Classical Composition I is recommended but students could jump in at this level without taking CCI, particularly if they are strong writers already. Students should have a very basic knowledge of English grammar (verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc.) and punctuation.

In Classical Composition II: Narrative, the children will continue learning how to write through narratives (both well known stories like The Frog Prince and biblical narratives like Elisha and the Widow’s Jars). 

Two weeks are spent on each lesson. A good deal of the work is done in class, but there will be a bit of work to do on the remaining days of the week. The outline is assigned to do at home but we provide video links for each outline.

At the end of each lesson, the children read their final re-writes in class which also helps them become more comfortable with oral presentations and speaking.

Note: We will not be able to offer final draft grading in this year. Instead, we will offer a walk-through on how to grade your child’s paper. Additionally, the teacher does offer to grade one final draft (for a particular lesson. Details will be in lesson plans)
