From the Anglo-Saxons to the Renaissance, from chivalrous knights to Genghis Khan, students will improve their knowledge of medieval times while learning to write with Structure and Style®.

 Includes two novel studies: 

The Door in the Wall

Crispin: The Cross of Lead

In this class, we will pair quality literature with analysis and persuasive essays. Every writer - no matter how old or experienced or published - has to invent ideas, organize those ideas clearly, and express them effectively. The three canons of classical rhetoric - Invention, Arrangement, Elocution - do this. Once the aspiring writer grasps how to employ these tools effectively the stresses and confusions that accompany writing begin to fade and with it the fear that often comes with writing assignments.
