Description
Students explore such rhetorical principles as rhetorical appeals and rhetorical canons in reading, writing, and speaking as they engage in critical readings of prose from various historical periods, genres, and rhetorical contexts; in writing in a variety of modes, such as narrative, expository, and argumentative; and in oratory. Activities in reading, writing, and speaking are intended to heighten the students’ awareness of content, purpose, and audience in their own discourse.
