Description
This might be the tidiest writing guide out there! You don’t have to be a Classical homeschooler to appreciate a lesson in good essay-building. You can add this to any (middle or) high school English course. If not familiar, you may need a dictionary for some of the terms. It’s not that the language is haughty, it is not, but as you learn what makes for good writing vs bad writing, there are unfamiliar words. Kids need to learn how to think and how to communicate those thoughts properly. The book is well organized, concise, and understandable. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Office of Assertion: An Art of Rhetoric for Academic Essay
Scott F. Crider addresses the intelligent university student with respect and humor. A short but serious book of rhetoric, it is informed by both the ancient rhetorical tradition and recent discoveries concerning the writing process. Though practical, it is not simply a how-to manual; though philosophical, it never loses sight of writing itself. Crider combines practical guidance about how to improve an academic essay with reflection on the purpose--educational, political, and philosophical--of such improvement.
