2023 Workshop Talk | 59:31 | All Grade Levels, Rhetoric & Composition
Summary
The intent of this workshop is to introduce and explain the fourteen progymnasmata writing exercises to teachers and, more importantly, provide practical examples of the exercises that they can use in their classrooms. A limited amount of time will be dedicated to the history and background of the progym, with most of the time given to explaining each exercise and providing sample activities and lessons. The sample activities and lessons will be applicable to a diverse range of subjects and grade levels.
Speaker
Jason Modar teaches Economics, Logic, Rhetoric I, and Omnibus VI (Modernity II) in the Logic & Rhetoric School at Regents Academy. He managed to hoodwink his alma mater, William Jessup University, into awarding him with a degree in Bible & Theology. Before escaping to Texas and working at Regents, Jason worked at a Christian radio station in California. He and his wife, Kelsie, have been married for seven years. They have three daughters and a son. You will occasionally find Jason attempting to recapture his youth by playing basketball with Regent’s students. Jason also likes to read, run, and write.
