Class Description
Lost Tools of Writing Level Two with Shakespeare continues the study of classical rhetoric with the judicial address, which refines the persuasive essay taught in Level One. Students will further build up their writing skills while also practicing the art of judging wisely and well. Level Two includes plenty of review, a deeper understanding of classical rhetoric, special Topics of Invention, and additional schemes and tropes. As with Level One, the skills practiced in Lost Tools Level Two can be applied to any kind of writing students will ever have to do. This class will also serve as an introduction to (or further acquaintance with!) the incomparable Shakespeare, as we will be reading, discussing, writing about, and memorizing passages from four of his plays. Bonus for Bard lovers: I will host two Shakespeare read-alouds on Zoom, one in Fall and one in Spring, in which my Level Two students will be invited to read an assigned part from the play to be read aloud together in its entirety.
