Homeschool Review Crew: Our Review of Persuasive Writing and Classical Rhetoric

     Our 18 year old son has been interested in writing for a couple of years now. When he heard that we would be reviewing Persuasive Writing & Classical Rhetoric: Practicing the Habits of Great Writers from Silverdale Press LLC, he was intrigued.  He asked if he could be the one to review it.  I was excited that he wanted to be the one to use the curriculum and would be giving you all an honest review.  

     This program takes approximately 36 weeks to complete.  It's perfect to use for a school year Language Arts curriculum.  It is geared towards 14-18 year old students.  The digital program includes a 235 page lesson book, a 202 page student workbook, an 111 page reader, and an answer key for parents/teachers.  

     Here is a look at the table of contents in the lesson book:

      Here is my son's review of this curriculum:

     When I started the lessons in the Persuasive Writing and Classical Rhetoric book, I was expecting it to be like other classes I have taken in the past, but this time it was different.  This program has a lot to offer.  They explain everything very well. I had no problem following each lesson.  There are 3 books that correspond with each other.  Each day I would read the lesson and do what it asked.  You may have a speech to read and then a page or so in the workbook along with writing assignments at the end of the lessons.  

     I particularly loved the speeches they had us read because I love history.  The speeches were by important individuals from history and it was cool seeing what they had spoken about.  

     The writing assignments asked us to use no less than 500 words.  This was easy to do with the topics we were given to write about.  The lessons explained was was needed in order to do the writing correctly.  

     Each lesson added something new to learn and new material to read over.  There was no repetition and that was what I liked most.  The questions in the workbook were easy to do as long as you did the lesson and comprehended what was being taught.  I have to say that I don't have anything negative to say about this curriculum. I am enjoying it still today.
