Grade 5 Composition & Creative Writing: Narrative and the Chreia

The third year of classical writing: sharpen the narrative, then learn the chreia, a famous saying or deed worked out in eight heads, with models from Plutarch, Franklin, Luther and Patrick Henry; write dialogue with Stevenson, couplets with Pope and hymns with Watts, and keep a journal like Lewis and Clark.
