Description
Excerpt from Good English, Vol. 3: Oral and Written
This book is intended for use in the seventh and eighth school years. In a unique way it is welded with Books. One and Two of the series, making a united whole for the teaching of English. This unity is accomplished by adding a complete summary (pages 323-332) of the language facts taught in Books One and Two, and by giving frequent references to it in the early chapters (see page 3). By this means the work of Books One and Two is reviewed in close articulation with the work of Book Three. This plan has special value in bringing out the particular language fact taught in the earlier grades which are to be developed further in the seventh and eighth years.
The book is divided into approximately one hundred fifty carefully planned lessons for each year's work. These lessons are grouped into chapters composed in the main of related units that center about a common theme, providing work for a period equivalent, in general, to a school month. The lessons for each chapter, therefore, are not haphazard and miscellaneous, but are woven tether into a purposeful whole, closing with a review of all the technical facts treated during the month.
The material on which conversation and written exercises are based has been selected with reference to its living interest for pupils and its vital relation to their experiences. The lessons are so arranged that oral discussion precedes and prepares for written expression. The wealth of ideas contributed by the various members of the class in oral discussion is thus placed at the service of the individual pupil in the written exercise that follows.
