| College Rhetoric: What Every
Student Should Know, is divided into three parts: (I) The Socratic
method of teaching and learning (chapters 1 and 2), (II) What students
need to know about rhetoric (chapters 3-7), and (III) The Strategies
of Rhetoric (chapters 8-14).
Part One describes, defines and illustrates the Socratic method in a sequence of six lesson plans that explain how to engage students in the Socratic method of teaching and learning as a crucial prelude to writing. These lesson plans also enable teacher and student to develop the skills of independent, reflective, and critical thinking in one another. Part Two focuses on the basic question of rhetoric: why do we write? The primary assumption is that writing is a means to creating meaning. Its consequence is the need to share that meaning with an audience. Part Three defines, illustrates,
and applies the eleven basic strategies of development in a series of formal
essays viewed as follow-ups to Socratic seminars. In short, the ultimate
goal of College Rhetoric is to develop the skillful use of language,
oral and written, that provokes thinking and may even change behavior.
