What book did you use to learn....

[Lux Et Veritas Academy]

to write better as an adult/teacher? I am feeling like I need my own course! Any suggestions?;)

Well, a book that is geared to help you as teacher learn how to teach writing to your children is The Writer's Jungle (www.bravewriter.com (http://www.bravewriter.com)). And she has awesome quotes in the sidebars from books by writers for writers. A favorite of mine is Writing With Power (or any book by Peter Elbow). TWJ is a great book to learn about writing for you too though. Read some of the articles & her blog & the sample on her site to see if it might be your style.

I took an online class from them this spring on teaching Copywork & Dictation and learned tons! I always knew these were beneficial, but wow, I feel equipped to develop my own LA from these now.

Composition in the Classical Tradition by D'Angelo is a great resource for how to write and set up papers. Also, Rhetoric in the Classical Tradition is good for word useage and such.

I have interlibrary loaned both books and found them to be a wealth of information on how to write.:001_smile:
