GRAMMAR STAGE
(Absorbing) Students begin by learning the basic facts and rules of each subject. Teaching methods such as singing, drilling, chanting, and recitation are emphasized. Young children find it easy and enjoy memorizing and chanting. They are given opportunities to memorize all types of facts in English, science, math, and Latin. These facts are the building blocks of every subject.
|
DIALECTIC STAGE
(Thinking) As students become teenagers, they like to contradict and question their elders. They enjoy pointing out mistakes and inconsistencies. That makes this stage perfect to instruct and train students in logic, the art of reasoning, and arguing correctly. In every subject, students are being taught to analyze, reason, question, evaluate, and critique.
|
RHETORIC STAGE
(Expressing) Students learn how to artfully present what they know and what they are learning when it comes to the study of rhetoric. Debate, apologetics, speech, essay writing, and thesis are emphasized during this stage. Students are eager to express themselves and for independence. So they are taught to eloquently express their thoughts and ideas through speech and writing and to support a persuasive argument. The rhetoric stage is built on a foundation of accumulated knowledge and is the capstone of the Trivium.
