>
> Where: Piedmont Renaissance Center
> 51 South Union St., Concord, NC 28025
>
> What will be presented:
>
> The distinctives of classical rhetoric - Kern
> The three canons as solutions to the three problems; the place of
rhetoric as the "deep logic" of the entire curriculum and therefore as
the natural ordering principle of the student's studies. Indeed, what
was classical rhetoric and what happened to it?
>
> The five methods everybody must practice to become a great writer - Kern
> Theoretical: understanding the science of writing;
> Literary: studying the great masterpieces of literature as models;
> Critical: learning the details of good usage;
> Practical: practicing the art of writing;
> Linguistic: translating great works of literature into and out of English.
>
> The importance of imitation and what it means - Pudewa/Kern
> The levels of imitation: Content, form, language, processes, and ideas. When, why, and how.
>
> Assessment - Pudewa/Kern
> Marking and grading; objectivity, motivation, and sanity. How to
keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and planting seeds
of doubt.
>
> The four language arts: listening, reading, speaking, and writing - Pudewa
> Nurture excellent communication skills even more effectively by
understanding the relationship between these four critical skills.
>
> Developing the essayist: a natural approach - Pudewa
> How can a student move from simply reporting facts to the more
sophisticated skill of using facts to support an opinion? Learn several
different essay models and discover a gradual method of building the
analytical writer, even at the elementary level!
>
> Looking ahead: where do you want to go from here? - Pudewa/Kern
> How does Structure & Style relate to The Lost Tools of WritingTM, what are the progymnasmata, and what's next for you?
>
> Panel: Common problems in teaching writing - Pudewa/Kern
>
> $59 for CiRCE Conference registrants, $89 otherwise.
> Registration fee includes all materials, plus a coupon for 20% off on any IEW or CiRCE purchase!
