[Gutenberg 52429] • Fifteen Institute Lessons in Language, Arithmetic, and U.S. History

Excerpt from Fifteen Institute Lessons in Language Arithmetic and U. S. History

Frequently, as a pupil reads, the rest of the class should be required to close their books and turn their attention directly to what 18 being read when the reader is through, the teacher should question the listeners carefully until every point of what was read is brought out clearly, -the reading itself to be properly criticised. Rules of punctuation, and those concerning the use of capitals should be deduced from the reading matter, and frequently recited. Quotation marks, the hyphen, and the apostrophe must receive their share of attention.

Geographical terms, allusions, and figures of Speech should be noted; let the places mentioned be located and described as in geography. If prominent men are mentioned, let brief biographical sketches be given.

Before beginning the recitation, the teacher should question the class closely in regard to what is set forth or told in the lesson. Give careful atten tion to position, voice, emphasis, tone, etc. Good reading should strike our attention as being very like good conversation.
