Points to Ponder
Why so much narration?
In developing readers and writers, narration plays a key role in the development of both writing skills and comprehensions skill. Narration serves as practice in the chronological recall of key aspects of the reading and in accurately retelling what has been read. It also serves as great writing practice for the student. Often in the student’s narration, you will find them unconsciously mimicking the writing style of the reading, thus gaining practice with varied sentence structure and new vocabulary.
Points to Ponder:
1. As students and parents begin reading the articles contained in the history section, they will notice that the sentence structure and vocabulary is much more varied than that found in a typical textbook. This reading may prove to be challenging for students who are not used to more complex writing and sentence structure. However, as the student continues the reading they will not only find it easier, but their vocabulary will expand and their writing will improve based on the variety of writing styles read throughout the history section.
2. You will notice that not all of the articles chosen are written by the same author. This too, was a conscious decision on the developers of this curriculum. As we all know, the way history is perceived and recorded can vary based on an author’s personal worldview and perspective. In choosing articles by various authors, we are illustrating this fact to the student and challenging them to compare and contrast various aspects of recorded history.
