Product Description

Sample – Week 22

This text is the long awaited sequel to Lingua Mater: Language Lessons from Literature. It is intended for 8th or 9th grade and includes 36 weeks of lessons with a nine-week short story unit that includes the complete text of six short stories.

It continues the method begun in Lingua Mater of integrating grammar exercises with response to literature and art and using that as a springboard to good writing. Every piece of literature or art featured is by an American author or painter, such as Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorn, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent.

All selections are by American authors, some contemporary (homeschool moms, Dawn Hanigan and Suchi Myjak as well as Elaine Woodfield). Please see the table of contents (Table of Contents_LMA) for the complete list of topics covered.

Unit 4 is a short story unit.
