Description
Publisher's Description of Lingua Mater Americana
This text is the long awaited sequel to Lingua Mater: Language Lessons from Literature. It is intended for 8th or 9th grade and includes 36 weeks of lessons with a nine-week short story unit that includes the complete text of six short stories. It continues the method begun in Lingua Mater of integrating grammar exercises with response to literature and art and using that as a springboard to good writing. Every piece of literature or art featured is by an American author or painter, such as Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorn, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent. Lingua Mater Americana is done in the same style as Lingua Mater 7 for 8th or 9th grade. All selections are by American authors, some contemporary (homeschool moms, Dawn Hanigan and Suchi Myjak as well as Elaine Woodfield).
Category Description for Complete English Programs
These materials offer complete coverage of both writing and grammar.
Category Description for Lingua Mater Language Lessons Series (Color Editions)
Have you ever used a book and just kept thinking about the changes you would make? Perhaps that was the experience of Margot Davidson. Taking the classics Primary Language Lessons and Intermediate Language Lessons by Emma Serl, she tweaked them "just a bit." The result is all the warmth of the originals with just a little more practicality, beauty, and applicability. The same wonderful balance between oral and written work has been preserved along with all the basic elements - copywork/dictation, picture study, memorization selections, grammar sequences, and composition. Some of the pictures are now in full color, and some are changed to appeal more to young readers. Also, some changes were made to bring the language in line with today's English. The typesetting is modern with much more "white space." Scripture quotes are taken from the Catholic Edition of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Primary Language Lessons (138 pgs) is flexible and can be used as either a full third grade course or spread over second and third grade. Some of the exercises toward the end of its 164 lessons have been broadened, making them more appropriate for students at the end of third grade. Intermediate Language Lessons (252 pgs) has 300 lessons divided into three parts originally intended for use in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. A student can be started at any level that seems appropriate. Part I covers sentences, paragraphs, nouns, letter writing, descriptive writing, dialogue, punctuation, and creative writing. Part II includes quotations, homonyms, descriptive writing, abbreviations, describing words, persuasive writing, and letter writing. Part III has expanded writing coverage and includes parts of speech and sentences, journalism, comparison writing, and descriptive writing. Perfect-bound softcover. ~ Janice
