Inside the Writing & Rhetoric Program: A Scholé Academy Info Session
Building on their foundations of persuasive essay writing and recitation from earlier levels of Writing & Rhetoric, students in Writing & Rhetoric 6 will “advance those skills by creating dynamic and powerful speeches.” Students will research, write and deliver speeches within the three traditional branches of rhetoric: judicial, ceremonial and political. In preparation, the class will read, analyze, discuss speeches of people such as Cicero, Thurgood Marshall, John F. Kennedy and Malala Yousafzai, and many more. Additionally, students will use the 5 Canons of Rhetoric: Invention, Arrangement and Style, Memory and Delivery to craft and share their speeches. Due to the content of readings and discussions, virtue development will be naturally integrated throughout the course.
Anticipated outcomes for students taking Writing and Rhetoric, Level 6 are listed below.
