Grade 8 Composition & Creative Writing: Comparison, Characterization and Description

The sixth year of classical writing: weigh two lives side by side as Plutarch did, give words to a person at a turning point, paint a scene in prose like Homer’s shield, write a short story with a twist, try blank verse and the ode, learn to research and cite honestly, reflect on true events in the manner of Lamb and Addison, and finish the progymnasmata ready for the Rhetoric years.
