Abstract: en_US Here is a spiral bound student workbook of 99 pages for the “Classical Trivium Core Series.” The emphasis on “classical” is clear from the beginning “Introduction to the Progymnasmata.” At the other end of the book, the classical approach is again emphasized in the appendix “Figures of Description,” which could be helpful to anyone wanting to understand ancient terms and teachings on things like rhetoric or composition. The book features 20 well-chosen fables listed in the opening T of C. The pedagogical approach here is that students read and imitate fables. The book asks for good analytical work on plot components like recognition, reversal and suffering. Students work their way through paraphrases and variations. I would be curious to learn what the experience has been like for those who have used this approach.
