Lost Tools of Writing

Everybody agrees that writing is a vital skill. Some people might think you don’t need The Lost Tools of Writing to teach writing, but we disagree. We believe you need The Lost Tools of Writing for three reasons. With it, you will improve your students’ writing, your own teaching, and your students’ thinking.

Better Writing

First, The Lost Tools of Writing™ improves your students’ writing. Camille Goldston has been teaching LTW for four years. She reports, “I have seen it turn non-writers into writers over and over.” An anonymous college student told us, “I just wrote a 21 page college paper.

Before I studied The Lost Tools of Writing, the prospect of composing essays terrified me. But now I can do it! Thank you, Circe!”

Students are often frozen in their writing because they don’t know where to start. LTW solves that problem through the tool of Invention. Sometimes students are confused because they don’t know how to arrange their thoughts. LTW overcomes that problem through the tool of Arrangement. Still other times, students get writers block because they don’t know how best to express their thoughts. LTW conquers that problem through Elocution.

By mastering The Lost Tools of Writing, students learn engage writing challenges with confidence and enter higher studies unintimidated.

Better Teaching

Second, The Lost Tools of Writing™ provides you with tools to improve your teaching.

Teaching involves the art of rhetoric and LTW is a classical rhetoric program. The better you understand rhetoric, the better you will be able to teach. LTW provides questions you can use in any class (science, math, history, literature, even art), communication devices to help clarify any point, and a pattern through which you can teach any idea.

The Lost Tools of Writing teaches writing after the nature of the child. You will learn the classical way of teaching (not a method or a technique; a way) that brings freedom and joy to the learning experience. And the great bonus is that students always learn this way. So you can take what you learn as a teacher of LTW and improve your teaching of science, math, history, literature, music, etc. etc.

Furthermore, with LTW, you will be better able to integrate all your teaching because you will have a tool that applies across the curriculum, tying the elements together. LTW recognizes that each class has its own logic and that there is an overall logic that ties all classes together.

Better Thinking

And third, The Lost Tools of Writing™ improves your students’ thinking. Remember Camille, above? She went on to say this: “And I’ve seen it turn some non-thinkers into thinkers.” The Lost Tools of Writing teaches the “deep logic” of thought.

Your student won’t learn writing as a specialized subject, but as a tool for better thinking. She will be able to think better in every class because she will learn both material and formal logic, the tools for all thinking. In addition, she will learn to read more closely while simultaneously finding most books more personally interesting and satisfying. In other words, The Lost Tools of Writing is a stealth reading program!

Furthermore, through the canon of invention, your students will learn skills that open to them the secrets of the fine arts and even music.

Thinking relies on four basic skills: attentive perception, contemplation, careful conception, and re-presentation. Teaching The Lost Tools of Writing you will refine each of these faculties.

You need the Lost Tools of Writing because it improves your students writing, your teaching, and your students’ thinking. After they complete this program, your students will spend the rest of their lives thanking you. Eloquently.
