Rhetoric 2: The Art of Persuasion

Rhetoric/Comp & Lit Analysis II builds upon the principles and persuasive techniques studied in Rhetoric/Comp & Lit Analysis I. This course adds the elements of public speaking to the analysis of discourse and literature, culminating in an oral presentation related to a formal research paper. Students will be challenged to communicate clearly and credibly, equipped to reach today’s world with Biblical Truth. It is also an advanced writing course to prepare students for the types of writing they will encounter in college. Literature will be selected from the Modern/Postmodern time period to tie in with the Modern History course and the ideas being studied in Biblical Worldview IV.
