Classical Composition: Teaching the First Four Stages
Fable, Narrative, Chreia & Maxim, and Refutation & Confirmation are the first four stages in the Classical Composition curriculum, but why and what are all these “stages” of writing? Come find out in this information-packed session where we will not only model how to teach the first stage, but put it into context with the three stages that build upon it. Abigail Johnson, a Memoria Press Online Academy teacher, will provide insight into how something as simple as a fable can make so significant a contribution to writing, and then point to the incredible development in complexity and style that come with Chreia & Maxim and Refutation & Confirmation.
