2007 Workshop Talk | 0:59:31 | K-6, Rhetoric & Composition
Summary
Language is the incarnation of ideas. Students must know how to skillfully command this vessel if they are to win the war of words. Students must possess the skills to capture and persuade, taking every thought captive. Proverbs 15:23 A man finds joy in giving an apt reply„and how good is a timely word! Good writing is like good cooking„good ingredients & good methods yield good results. Good reading produces good writing. Teach your students to observe word choice, mood, and direction. Good writers tell the story of life with honesty and transparency. Good writers are vulnerable.
