The Teacher Guide includes an introduction to the material to be covered, guidelines for instruction, definition of terms (important because many of the terms are unfamiliar), and lightly scripted lessons in a wraparound format (reduced copies of the student pages with answers). Appendices in some provide additional definitional and illustrative information pertinent to the course. For instance, the appendices in the Chreia/Maxim Stage Teacher's Guide provide an advanced rubric and figures of description with examples. The course includes 18 lessons that teach the student how to analyze, express the meaning, and praise the authors of short, pithy sayings. The goal is to learn eight distinct ways to engage the imagination of the audience. 172 pgs, spiral-bound.
