Stories of Conducting Oneself in Society
Tags
Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Primary and middle school students building idiom vocabulary, learning allusions, and learning basic principles of conduct
- Language teachers who can use selections as classroom introductions or extracurricular reading material
- Families reading together, with parents and children discussing the interpersonal choices in the stories
- General readers who want to read short stories in a relaxed way during spare moments
Not a good fit for
- Professional researchers needing rigorous idiom etymology and academic textual criticism
- Readers seeking systematic study of the philosophy of conduct or psychological theory
- Readers who prefer long, coherent narratives and are unaccustomed to short-story collections
Reading tips
- Read two or three pieces a day, then retell the story in your own words and state the idiom's meaning.
- Keep a notebook recording each idiom's source, meaning, and one example sentence you compose yourself.
- When reading together, have the child guess the meaning first, then discuss whether they agree in light of real life.
- When reading stories related to conduct, try comparing them with modern situations and write down your own judgment.
