About This Book

A practical course in composition and rhetoric for secondary pupils that emphasizes learning by practice: frequent themed writing, focused drills, and oral exercises designed to develop fluency, clarity, and confidence. Early chapters introduce description, narration, exposition, and argument in bite-sized lessons that isolate a single point of improvement; later chapters expand and unify those forms for more mature students. Instruction centers on the paragraph as the unit of composition, on smooth transitions and unity in whole essays, and on constructive classroom response. Additional material covers sentence and word choice, letter writing, and model readings to guide practice.
