Sample<\/a><\/p>\n

In the third stage of the Classical Composition program, Chreia & Maxim, students gain the ability to create a story through the use of the narrative categories and variation through paraphrase.<\/p>\n

Students learn to demonstrate the truth of the Commonplace through what the ancient Greek writer Aphthonius calls \u201ceight heads of development,\u201d and students deal more explicitly and thoroughly with what in modern composition theory are referred to as \u201csupport points.\u201d The ability to invent four specific types of narrative through these \u201cheads of development\u201d and to paraphrase in two specific ways are the foundational skills to be learned in this stage.<\/p>\n
