| Description: | This course is designed specifically to improve students' ability to compose effective persuasive prose. We will rely primarily upon exemplars of public address in a variety of modes, from corporate advocacy and political campaigning to artful ceremonial display. These exemplars will be supplemented with theoretical and conceptual material intended to foster a critical appreciation of these exemplars. Students will be asked to emulate these exemplars, not to copy them but to mine them as living repositories of rhetorical strategy. These exemplars, then, form part of a catalog of possibilities from which students might begin to fashion their own voices as persuasive rhetors. The class will not function as a lecture, but rather as a workshop and discussion group. Reasoned critique, as a skill complementary to skillful composition, will be developed as we read and evaluate each other's work throughout the semester. Assignments will include seven 750-word papers, with at least one opportunity to revise and resubmit a paper. |
