Scriptorium Wisdom: The Odyssey

Scriptorium Wisdom: The Odyssey is a high school composition and literature study. Since good writing flows from ideas, this book offers essays and discussion questions, while encouraging commonplace journaling, to help the student invent content.

Building on the foundation of Scriptorium Writing, this book offers exercises in inventing a thesis, using Aristotle's five common topics, writing a cover letter, crafting a toast, comparing characters, and more.

While wisdom comes from experience, eloquence comes by practice. The method must include the practice of eloquence and provide experience to gain wisdom. Educating students lacking the wisdom of gray hairs demands that we facsimile experience as much as possible by putting the students in touch with wiser minds. Then students must practice the tools of style, so that they become eloquent.
