A one-stop shop! This package includes everything needed (student and teacher book) to complete Writing & Rhetoric Book 7: Encomium & Vituperation, a one-semester course, PLUS the optional Audio Files featuring readings of any fables, narratives, legends, myths, and other excerpts presented in the student book. The MP3 audio files add flexibility and can enhance understanding, allowing students to listen or follow along with text, but please note that teacher interaction and discussion is still needed. Upon purchase, the access code and instructions for MP3 files will be emailed to you. The included Student Text (064858) is consumable, so if you have 2 students you will need to purchase another. The included Teacher Edition (064859) is intended to be used in conjunction with the student book and includes a copy of student material with teaching notes, explanations, answer keys, helpful guidance and examples for every assignment. ~Nancie

We love Writing and Rhetoric curriculum! We look forward to the introductory writings for each lesson and the new applications that will be taught from those writings. Both my boys writing skills have developed well beyond my expectations!

I am using this with an older student working at a faster pace. Because he is already doing written narrations and other writing in some of his other subjects, Im using this resource as writing instruction that will help polish the writing that he is already doing. We work together orally through many of the assignments. My student is learning great skills that can be applied to his other assignments.
