I learned alot about writing essays. It will benefit me going into my next grade. It taught be how to write essays step by step. I learned how to organize my essays through ANI charts and outlines. Learning how to develop a thesis was easier than I thought and this class taught me how to do it. The teacher makes our assignments clear and helps us if we need help. I am thankful I took this class as it made a difference in my writing. I would recommnend it

US History- Jr. High is awesome! In the class we learned from the pilgrims to JFK. The best part of the class is the homework. Every week there was something new. We had presentations, games, and more. This class is amazing and you will learn so much!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Lost Tools of Writing?
The Lost Tools of Writing helps students develop and refine their essays. It also guides students to learn to analyze an issue, organize and think through their arguments to craft logical and persuasive points.
Why is Classical Literature important?
Classical literature allows readers to take a deep, deep dive into the lives, worldviews, and mindsets of people we’ve never met, visit the places we’ve never been, and understand the times we’ll never directly experience.
What if my students miss a class?
Have a scheduling conflict? Get in touch, and we’ll try to accommodate your needs! Classes are recorded to allow students to make up missed classes easily.
Why use games in your teaching?
Games can help retention by making learning fun and interactive, while developing critical thinking, collaboration skills and ultimately leading to a more positive learning experience. Games also help develop non-cognitive skills..
