The WritingAssessment.com domain name was taken over in 2021 by another educator who no longer keeps it active. I keep the materials available here.
Materials from Writing Assessment Services
From 1996 to 2021, I offered writing instruction mostly for secondary students, mostly from a classical Christian education perspective. Now that I am editing and writing through Moraine's Edge Books, I have retired the site for Writing Assessment Services and have moved select materials to this site. These resources are offered on a self-study basis, and I offer brief consultations as a courtesy - let me help you make the most of it all. I am available to arrange more extensive consultation and evaluation upon request.
Progymnasmata: Preliminary Rhetoric Exercises
From the ancients through the Renaissance to us, these classic writing exercises create a toolbox of writing skills for writers from middle school through adults. Learn more at this link.
Great Books and More
The aim of a classical education is to help students enter the Great Conversation, reading and responding to the best books of all time. These assignments guide such interaction in tasks accessible to secondary students and adults. Other curriculum is listed on this page as well.
