COMPOSITION LESSONS.

NOTE TO TEACHER.

These composition lessons may be given before the grammar lessons in Part II, or the grammar and composition work may both be carried on at the same time. In the latter case a separate recitation should be given to each. If the composition work is done before taking the grammar lessons, the subject of composition should be continued in a more advanced form, as composition, both oral and written, is the most practical part of language work.

The composition lessons are presented under three divisions-simple descriptive, simple narrative, and simple imaginative. Each teacher should add to the work as the class may need, until the pupils are able to think, speak, and write fluently in good English.

The teacher should question the pupils upon the subject, and draw from them the points given in the outlines. After a thorough oral discussion of the lesson the outline should be given to the pupils as an assistance to the memory in writing.

The teacher should use pictures, stories, and anything else that will make the lessons attractive. Use every device possible that will help to cultivate the pupil's power of expression.
