The Student Books provide instruction and examples with plenty of space to write. With a focus on oratory, the ten lessons of this course provide the student with a rich experience in preparing, writing, evaluating, and delivering persuasive speeches. Lessons include extensive writing, skill-building, as well as reading diverse speech texts in three areas – judicial, ceremonial, and political. These prepare the student for three intense practicums and the writing/delivery of three speeches: closing arguments in a court case (judicial), eulogy at a funeral (ceremonial), and proposal of a law in a legal body (political). Writing assignment lessons and speech assignment lessons have separate lessons plans – one week and two-week, respectively. While the course can be completed in one semester, it could also be slowed down and spread over a full academic year.
Writing & Rhetoric Book 11: Thesis - Part 2 Student Edition
Description
NOTE: There are no audio files for Writing & Rhetoric Book 11: Thesis Part 2.
In this book, students will implement what they learned about writing well-crafted persuasive thesis essays in Writing & Rhetoric Book 10: Thesis Part 1 and 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.
Thesis Part 2 is designed to build students' 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 "to enlighten the understanding, please the imagination, move the passion, and influence the will" (George Campbell).
