In the award-winning Writing &amp; Rhetoric series, author Paul Kortepeter has recovered this proven method of teaching writing in conjunction with critical thinking and speaking.\u00a0This is the tenth in a series of 12 books that will train students over 6 years.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>Writing &amp; Rhetoric Book 10: Thesis Part 1 (consumable student edition)<\/em>, students\u00a0will write well-crafted persuasive thesis essays with narrative, descriptive, expository, and comparative elements. The thesis essay is perhaps the most important form of academic writing. In fact, in every major in college, successful exams and term papers depend on excellent thesis writing. Each composition requires strong critical thinking skills, an understanding of audiences and how to \u201chook\u201d them, and a logical progression of ideas and evidence. The thesis exercise employs all of the skills students have gained in their study of the\u00a0<em>progymnasmata<\/em>\u00a0and adds something more: the consideration and rebuttal of counterarguments. By thinking through opposition to their main ideas, students grow in their ability to think flexibly and to defend their position. In addition, the thesis essay will help students to examine and sustain ideas, two skills much needed in today\u2019s public discourse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student Edition Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>A 1-semester course for grades 7 or 8 and up<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this book, students will learn to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>create complex thesis statements<\/li>\n<li>write thesis essays with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion<\/li>\n<li>sustain arguments for 6 paragraphs<\/li>\n<li>use topic sentences for organizing paragraphs and information<\/li>\n<li>incorporate supportive facts and details, including quotations, paraphrases, and allusions<\/li>\n<li>understand audiences better, \u201chook\u201d their attention, and consider the purpose for reaching them<\/li>\n<li>appeal to readers though credibility (ethos) and logic (logos)<\/li>\n<li>build copiousness<\/li>\n<li>improve essays using speaking as an aid to revision<\/li>\n<li>revise essays for redundancies, padded writing, informal tone, dangling modifiers, and faulty predication<\/li>\n<li>analyze literature excerpts for theme<\/li>\n<li>annotate texts and narrate them both orally and in summary form<\/li>\n<li>work on delivery in public speaking\u2014volume, pacing, and inflection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.classicalacademicpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/WRFable-Suggested-Schedule.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Suggested Schedule<\/a>\u00a0(PDF)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.classicalacademicpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/WR-ScopeSequence_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scope &amp; Sequence<\/a>\u00a0(PDF)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.classicalacademicpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/WR10_Rubric.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thesis Part 1 Rubrics<\/a> (PDF)<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nNew Online Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/classicalacademicpress.com\/wr-landing-page\/\">Writing &amp; Rhetoric web pages<\/a><u>\u00a0<\/u>feature free online content that supplements the curriculum, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalacademicpress.com\/wol-teachertraining\/\">Teacher training with author Paul Kor<\/a>tepeter and Writing &amp; Rhetoric educators<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalacademicpress.com\/wr-learn-more\/\">Writing &amp; Rhetoric series overview<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalacademicpress.com\/wr-extras\/\">Extra videos and articles on the study of writing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Companion Products<\/p>\n<p class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/writing-rhetoric-book-9-description-impersonation\/\">Writing &amp; Rhetoric Book 9: Description &amp; Impersonation<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/writing-rhetoric-book-9-description-impersonation-teachers-edition\/\">Writing &amp; Rhetoric Book 9: Description &amp; Impersonation, Teacher\u2019s Edition<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/writing-rhetoric-book-9-description-impersonation-audio-cd\/\">Writing &amp; Rhetoric Book 9: Description &amp; Impersonation, Audio CD<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think of the\u00a0<em>progymnasmata<\/em>\u00a0as a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric.
