Aesop & Homer Accelerated
Recorded Student and Teacher Training Webinar

Course Description:

This tutorial is an overview covering all of Classical Writing's Aesop and Homer, our narrative analysis and writing courses, in four recorded classes.  Designed for students who need to cover the foundational levels of Classical Writing before beginning Diogenes, it is also excellent in-depth teacher training for home educators as well as co-op and private school teachers.

The course was originally taught in the summer of 2010 over four weeks to high school students and home educators, but this pace can be modified to meet the needs of the student. A younger student, or one less experienced in writing, may stretch this course out to 8 weeks, 12 weeks, or even a full semester if necessary.

Students should be at least 8th graders. If you have any questions about your student's readiness for this course, please email the tutor.

Recorded Class Meetings:

Each recorded class meeting is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. There is also a bonus 30 minute recording teaching the basics of sentence diagramming.

Homework Assignments:

Before the first class, and after each class, assignments are given in the included Student Guide PDF to prepare for the upcoming class and to practice the concepts covered in the previous class. Answer keys and editing checklists are included in the PDF to help the teacher at home with the task evaluating the students' work. If additional assistance is required, Classical Writing Tutorials offers an Evaluation Service for student writing projects. This service is available at a discounted rate while students are in the subscription period for any Classical Writing Tutorials course.
