Full Program Includes:
- Writing & Rhetoric Book Book 5: Refutation & Confirmation Student Edition A refutation is a short essay that attacks certain parts of a narrative. In this book, students will learn to identify and refute, or criticize, parts of a narrative that are unbelievable, improbable, unclear, or improper. A confirmation is a short essay that defends certain parts of a narrative. When students see parts of a narrative that are believable, probable, clear, or proper, they will confirm them. After learning to identify the parts of a story that can be attacked or defended, students will practice writing refutations or confirmations using sound arguments to explain their opinions.Be assured that this exercise of refutation and confirmation is not about taking the magic out of stories.
