Rhetoric Stage

Grades 9 - 12

Finally, during the rhetoric stage, when students in their teens begin to be concerned (to a fault) about self expression and appearance, why not teach them the art of rhetoric – the skills of wise and effective presentation in language? Rhetorical skill is the culmination of the process of learning. It brings knowledge and understanding together to be expressed in a wise, persuasive form.
