Level: 7-12

“In the Classical Composition series, author James A. Selby has resurrected the progymnasmata, the method of teaching composition used by classical educators for more than 1500 years. Students follow a structured approach to learning the various skills for writing and rhetoric. Lessons begin with imitation. Students first learn the skills of narration and paraphrasing, working from given material rather than their own ideas. They gradually begin to develop their own stories, but still based on ideas provided within each lesson. As they continue through the courses, they will eventually develop and present their own ideas.” – Cathy Duffy Reviews
