Sample<\/a><\/p>\n

A 1-semester course for grades 8 or\u00a09 and up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think of the\u00a0progymnasmata<\/em>\u00a0as a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric. In the award-winning Writing & Rhetoric series, author Paul Kortepeter has recovered this proven method of teaching writing in conjunction with critical thinking and speaking.\u00a0This is the eleventh in a series of 12 books that will train students over 6 years.<\/p>\n

Thesis Part 2<\/h4>\n

The\u00a0Writing & Rhetoric Book 11: Thesis Part 2 Teacher\u2019s Edition<\/em>\u00a0includes the complete student text, as well as answer keys, teacher\u2019s notes, and explanations. This teacher\u2019s edition supplies descriptions and examples of what excellent student writing should be like for every writing assignment, providing the teacher with meaningful and concrete guidance.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Writing & Rhetoric Book 11: Thesis Part 2<\/em><\/a>, students will implement what they learned about writing well-crafted persuasive thesis essays in\u00a0Writing & Rhetoric Book 10: Thesis Part 1<\/em>\u00a0and advance those skills by creating dynamic and powerful speeches. A vital part of rhetoric, oratory connects thinking and writing to the indispensable art of public speaking. Students will learn from masters of oratory, past and present, by studying the great speeches of Cicero, Thurgood Marshall, Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, and Malala Yousafzai, among others. When preparing and delivering their speeches, students will utilize the 5 canons of rhetoric and the common topics of invention to help them discover and refine their theses.<\/p>\n

Thesis Part 2<\/em>\u00a0is designed to build students\u2019 confidence in public speaking, teaching them the habits of excellent delivery and proper breathing. Incorporating the skills learned throughout the series, students will research, write, and then deliver 3 practice speeches (or declamations) of their own creation in the manner of the traditional branches of rhetoric: judicial, ceremonial, and political. As students gain skill, they will learn to delight in discourse as a way \u201cto enlighten the understanding, please the imagination, move the passion, and influence the will\u201d (George Campbell).<\/p>\n
