Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Freshman Themes Presumably all teachers of composition devote a portion of the time spent in the classroom to the reading and discussion of themes - defective themes, for the sake of the rhetorical lessons which they enforce; successful themes, in part for the same reason, but in part also for the sake of the stimulus which a student may derive from the triumphs of his fellows. No doubt a skillful instructor can in general obtain fairly satisfactory results through a patient reading and re-reading of themes from the desk; and no doubt much can be done by a judicious use of the blackboard; but few would question the desirability, if that were possible, of placing a copy of every theme criticized in the hand of every student in the class. Obviously such a practice would make for clearness and definiteness, and for economy of time. In many institutions, however, so long as it remains necessary to depend more or less exclusively upon the troublesome and expensive process of mimeographing, this procedure is hardly feasible. It is true that many contemporary books on composition contain examples of students themes, but not as a rule in any considerable number. Altogether, in view of these facts, it has seemed likely that a collection of representative themes would prove useful. At all events, we have undertaken the experiment of providing such a book. "Freshman Themes" is principally designed to serve as material for classroom criticism. Probably most instructors are inclined to feel that no "selected" themes can equal in pedagogical value the themes that come in day by day from members of the class; but, aside from the difficulty already mentioned, it is clear that an exclusive dependence upon such themes involves the necessity oftentimes of illustrating a rhetorical point by means of an inferior example. There are disadvantages on either side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
