In Using Language Well Book 2, concepts are taught by responding to questions and then application. Excerpts used in this language study include ESV biblical passages (such as Ecclesiastes 3, Psalms 23, Psalm 100); passages from authors like Thornton Burgess, Aesop, and Anna Sewell; nature writers; and much more. At the course beginning, quotations are shorter, such as this one from Indira Gandhi, “You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.” Midway through, students will read the entire poem of William Blake’s, The Lamb, or an entire nonfiction paragraph on the “The Intelligence of Rats.” By lesson 36, students will be using the included student rubric to create and evaluate their written narrations. They will judge themselves in broad categories of communicating (whether it is thorough, accurate, or original); and whether they are using capitalization, punctuation, and spelling properly. You’ll need the Teacher Book alongside this component. Student book is reproducible for students in immediate household.
