The Lost Tools of Writing
|
|
The Lost Tools of Writing is more than just a writing program: it challenges students to think analytically and to form opinions which they will discuss in the context of a persuasive essay. Focusing on the first three Canons of Classical Rhetoric, The Lost Tools of Writing addresses common obstacles that all writers often face, whether it be finding topics to write about, how to organize their thoughts, or how to creatively and effectively express their ideas. During the one-year course, students will read nine novels, short stories, or Bible stories, spending three weeks per selection creating a persuasive essay or address which challenges cultural norms and follows models designed to teach structure and style skills, skills which--when mastered--can be effectively applied to any type of writing. Class tuition includes grading (with detailed feedback) and quarterly progress reports. Registration fee extra (see Registration page for more info.)
