This course picks up where the Lost Tools of Writing Level Two course ended, and therefore, is open only to returning students or those who have spoken with the teacher. Instruction will begin in the fall with an introduction to writing a deliberative address while reading and discussing The Iliad by Homer. Students will also read and discuss The Odyssey by Homer during the second semester. The class will learn to write a deliberative essay through new Topics of Invention, Arrangement tools, and Elocution skills. Level Three deliberative addresses will include targeting either a friendly or a hostile audience, the introduction of the special topics of utility, honor, and precedent, along with other modes of persuasion. Students will use the Lost Tools of Writing Level Three text for this course.
