Arts: Language Lessons for Today Grade 5
by My Father's World Author
Presents lessons focussed on language and fine arts: picture study, composition, debate, narration, poetry and select reading pieces. Language Lessons for Today from My Father's World combines the Charlotte Mason and classical approach to bring homeschoolers short, easy-to-teach lessons that cover basic language skills such as English, punctuation, composition, oral language skills, letter writing, understanding poetry, and more. Children are encouraged to expand upon the language they already know, with better communication with others, rather than purely academic knowledge, as the ultimate goal. Short, interactive, and parent-led exercises are provided, which include poetry, picture study, oral composition, dictation, narration, and copywork. Parents may use as-written or alter to suit children's particular needs and/or learning styles by increasing or decreasing the number of written exercises. A number of fine examples of language and art are provided through works by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Jean-Leon Gerome, and others. This 5th-grade volume contains a more focused study of the parts of speech and begins with an analysis of sentences, in keeping with Charlotte Mason's advice for age-appropriate grammar lessons. 5th Grade. 102 lessons total. Lessons take approximately 15 minutes to complete with three lessons per week completed. Line-listed answer key is provided at the back of the book. 140 pages; non-consumable workbook. 8.5" x 11". Spiralbound. Adapted from Intermediate Language Lessons (1914) with significant revisions, updated language & examples, and new content.
