The Lost Tools of Writing, Level 2 (Teacher Guide)

Grades 7 - 12, 2nd Edition

The teacher guide for The Lost Tools of Writing, Level 2 is a very necessary component. It provides a thorough explanation and introduction to classical writing (particularly the Judicial Address) and to the way it is developed in Lost Tools. Then follows Sequences, Schedules, a Year-at-a-Glance Chart, and detailed three-week lesson plans with samples and worksheets. An impressive set of Appendices includes: Tools of Invention, Elements of Arrangement, Tools of Elocution, Arrangement Templates, Sample Addresses, Self-edit Checklists, a Guide to Assessment, Glossary, and Resources.

The newly revised The Lost Tools of Writing, Level 2 features eight new lessons and encourages your students to dig deeper, challenging them to think more clearly. Building on the introductory Persuasive Essay instruction of Level One, course study is centered on the Judicial Address. The three Canon framework (Invention, Arrangement, Elocution) continues.
