Fable instructional videos begin with a 4-minute course introduction. Twenty lessons, each ranging from 20 to 29 minutes, explain to the student descriptive and fable writing concepts for each lesson in the student book. Video instructors will explain writing model themes, draw out concepts modeled in the lessons, discuss vocabulary, ask students rhetorical questions, and more. They will also direct students to complete tasks which might require stopping the video occasionally to write responses. ~ Ruth

Description
Publisher's Description of Classical Composition I: Fable Stage DVD
In this initial Fable stage, students look at a single story or idea and begin learning how to use words to engage the imagination of the audience. They master the structures of thought or ideas that go into a narrative and learn to create recognition by using figures of description. Students learn to restructure facts to tell the same story or idea. They also discover that words are symbols representing ideas, and as writers they can communicate the same idea using a variety of words and sentence structures.
