However, students, being created in the image of God, are complex learners, calling for some intentional incorporation of teaching strategies from logic and rhetoric stages. Also critical is the perspective that education is not merely the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire—not so much a download of information as an upload of passion for that which is true, good, beautiful, and holy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grade Level 6 Language Arts curriculum equips students with the skills of reading comprehension, writing, rhetoric, spelling, and grammar.  Instruction employs the general tools of learning—definition, memory, penmanship, phonetic decoding, reading comprehension, computation, critical thinking, analysis, problem solving, research, synthesis, effective writing, public speaking, and sound moral judgment.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW121200925 BCX8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW121200925 BCX8\"\u003eSet includes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW121200925 BCX8\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW121200925 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/3611\/2944\/files\/GL6_Language_Arts_TT_2Ed_Sample.pdf?v=1772653244\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GL6 Language Arts Teacher Text Sample\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage Arts Teacher Text\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/a\u003eincludes GL6 Language Arts scope and sequence, general instructions for how to use the teacher text and explanations for the components of language arts lessons, instructions for weekly use of vocabulary and spelling lessons and games, descriptions of the characteristics of a classical L Arts classroom, an introduction to classical methods of teaching grammar, writing and literature, and an explanation of the tools of learning and the classical Progymnasmata, or preliminary rhetorical exercises.
