773805: Well-Ordered Language Level 1B Student Edition

Well-Ordered Language Level 1B Student Edition
By Tammy Peters & Dr. Dan Coupland / Classical Academic Press

The Well-Ordered Language curriculum from Classical Academic Press presents the study of language in a way that's designed to appeal to a child's inborn curiosity and desire to collect and order.

The narrated chapters are written directly to children and feature enjoyable black-and-white illustrations plus samples from children's literature and poetry. There are eight chapters in this one-semester curriculum; each begins with an introduction that teaches the concepts and the choral analysis of the sentence (which models the focus on the chapter). This is followed by the "Lessons to Learn" section, which includes daily 15-minute lessons labeled as Introductory, A, B, C, and Review. The 15-minute "Lessons to Practice" pages correspond (and are interwoven with) the "Lessons to Learn" pages; these are designed for guided class practice and are a core part of daily lessons. Finally, the "Lessons to Enjoy" section is a weekly, 30+ minute option that provides a poem, fable, and enrichment activities.

Well-Ordered Language 2A: The Curious Child's Guide to Grammar, Student Edition
By Tammy Peters & Daniel Coupland, Ph.D. / Classical Academic Press

The Well-Ordered Language curriculum from Classical Academic Press presents the study of language in a way that's designed to appeal to a child's inborn curiosity and desire to collect and order. Teachers and students will use language skills-reading, writing, speaking, and listening-along with physical movement, songs, and chants-to engage with the grammatical concepts in each lesson.

Well-Ordered Language 2A covers one semester; it is the first half of the last level in a four-part/two-level series (e.g. Level 1 A & B, Level 2 A & B).

Students will learn to identify the parts of a sentence and understand how words behave in a sentence. As students see the components of language, they will be able to apply their knowledge by expressing their thoughts clearly and accurately. Well-Ordered Language Level 2A will introduce students to:

  • Four kinds of sentences (declarative, interrogatory, imperative, exclamatory) and principal elements

  • Adverbs

  • Adjectives

  • Predicate verbs and direct objects

  • Predicate nominatives

  • Predicate adjectives

  • Predicate review

  • Possessive nouns


The previous level, Well-Ordered Language Level 1, helped students to master the eight parts of speech, along with object pronouns, prepositional and adverbial phrases, compound subjects, compound verbs, and compound objects. Any student who mastered these concepts should be prepared for Well-Ordered Language Level 2. In Book 2A, students will review and strengthen skills learned in Level 1 and be introduced to several new concepts. Student using this text will also learn to diagram sentences, visualizing the grammatical relationships within sentences. Though it's recommended the Well-Ordered Language series is started from the beginning, if students are comfortable with the eight parts of speech and their functions, they can start directly in Level 2A.

Grades 4-5. 216 pages, softcover. One-semester.

Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis Student Workbook
By Alyssan Barnes, Ph.D. / Classical Academic Press
Writing a research paper can be overwhelming - and writing a senior thesis project can be VERY overwhelming. How do you review all the literature? How do you come up with a compelling argument? Rhetoric Alive: Senior Thesis Student Workbook helps guide students through a capstone project step-by-step as they learn the background of the topic, analyze other people's arguments, and synthesize findings and discoveries. Students will draft the six parts of the thesis-introduction (exordium), statement of facts (narratio), thesis statement (partitio), argument (confirmatio), counterargument (refutatio), and conclusion (peroratio)-as they are taken through the thesis process from start to finish. Formatted as a workbook, this resource acts as a journal, scratch pad, research notebook, and a writing guide - plus it includes sample student writing, an example of a complete student thesis, and lots of practical tips about things like how to approach a mentor, things to pay attention to while speaking, etc. This text can be used by students who are only writing a thesis paper, only delivering a spoken address, or doing both. Can be used with any rhetoric curriculum.
