literary core skills

Overview

ColorBlock4.png
 

The following outline presents a sortable overview of the literary core skills (28 “G” or Grammar, 15 “L” or Logic, 24 “R” or Rhetoric) and their accompanying assignments. Each assignment has been designed to encourage the student to practice its parent skill.

The skills have been sorted according to the Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric stages. This division does not correspond to the age of the student. Rather, the stage of the trivium suggests the nature of the skill being taught. High school students will need to practice Grammar skills. Some elementary students may be ready to take on Logic-level literary interpretation. Rhetoric-level skills assume Grammar and Logic skills as a foundation.
