In this class, Shawn McCowan will pair quality literature with analysis and persuasive essays. Every writer—no matter how old or experienced or published—has to come up with good ideas, organize those ideas clearly, and express them effectively. The three canons of classical rhetoric—Invention, Arrangement, Elocution—do this. Once the aspiring writer grasps how to employ these tools effectively the stresses and confusions that accompany writing begin to fade and with it the fear that often comes with writing assignments.
