Apprenticeship Writing Workshop: Part One and Part Two (CRT)
Apprenticeship Writing Workshop: Part One and Part Two (CRT) Designed for more advanced students (9th grade and up), each part offers extensive evaluations of each draft of student work (up to 18 submissions totaling 5000 words), and uses Gregory Roper’s *The Writer’s Workshop: Imitating Your Way to Better Writing,* which students should purchase on their own. I suggest ½ credit for each part of this workshop.

“Part One: Foundations” includes exercises using models from Geoffrey of Vinsauf, Dickens, Hemingway, Joyce, Sojourner Truth, Moses, and the Apostle Paul. Writers will consider the effects of small decisions in writing, reflect on Impressionism and Realism, rhetorical forms, law and morality, authority, and invention.

“Part Two: Precision Tools and Finer Crafts” is for those who have completed Part One. It continues involves close work with logic, argument and negotiation using models from Aquinas, Cicero, a Pope, and a King. This is rhetoric in action, a great apprenticeship for aspiring serious writers.

*****  Highly Recommended   - Melissa (Amman, Jordan)
I am sold on the imitation method of writing as the tight structure of the assignments helped my son control his thinking and writing, while at the same time encouraging new thinking and creativity. And, he actually seemed to enjoy these assignments. Thank you, Cindy, for putting together a great workshop!
