The Lost Tools of Writing
(7-12th, online)
Literature & The Lost Tools of Writing is a class where students learn the art of persuasive writing about issues in selected literature. Students cultivate wisdom and virtue for each essay that they write as they work through three stages: invention, arrangement, and elocution. With each assignment, more tools will be added to create lengthier, well-ordered, and stylish essays. As they read each book, students will also maintain a literary response journal and learn literary techniques authors use in their works to create characters, to create mood, and to emphasize themes.

Course Overview:
How should we endure trials?
What should a Christian believe?
What is the danger of worldly success?
What is the nature of the human heart?
What is the importance of virtue?
What is the wisdom of chastity?
What is the price of leadership?
What makes a great man?
What brings happiness?
What is true justice?
These are some of the philosophical questions that medieval authors wrestled with during the Middle Ages, an extensive period of economic, cultural, and intellectual change in Western Europe that followed the fall of the Roman Empire.
Great Books is an honors-level class that incorporates historic primary documents, classic literature, and various essay writing skills. This is a gently challenging course for those who want a superior, classical education. Together, we will discover the ideas contained in the Great Books of the Middle Ages that have shaped Western civilization and filter these ideas through the lens of Scripture.
The emphasis of the class will be to annotate literature and share in class discussions. Based on notes and discussions centered on essential life questions, students will demonstrate understanding of themes as they construct a variety of essays designed to encourage a modern culture to engage with and learn timeless lessons from classic literature.
