This particular style is achieved through continued mastery of paraphrase and confining students to an abbreviated word count.

What if you could have the same composition curriculum used by Quintilian, the greatest teacher of ancient rhetoric, and Cicero, the greatest persuasive speaker of all time?<\/p>\n<p>Jim Selby has blown the dust off the writing curriculum that was used in schools for over 1,500 years and put it in an easy-to-teach format that will revolutionize your home or private school curriculum. Presented clearly and systematically in a structured curriculum,\u00a0<em>Classical Composition<\/em>\u00a0will give you a clear road map to writing excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Ancient writers invented a way of teaching writing known as the\u00a0<em>progymnasmata<\/em>, which provided a method of teaching composition that not only taught budding writers a disciplined way to approach communication, but also helped them appeal to the heads of their audience. The\u00a0<em>progymnasmata\u00a0<\/em>gave them the stylistic tools to appeal to their hearts as well.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest communicators of ancient times, Quintilian and Cicero among them, employed the\u00a0<em>progymnasmata\u00a0<\/em>to teach their students the art of communication. The 14 exercises, organized from the simplest and most basic to the most complex and sophisticated, were the core education of a classical speaker, designed to produce what Quintilian once called \u201cthe good man, speaking well.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"Classical Composition Series -
