2023 Workshop Talk | 46:21 | Rhetoric & Composition
Summary
While most grammar school teachers are aware of the value of oral rhetoric and actively involve their students in classroom recitations, many are unfamiliar with the connection to Cicero’s Five Canons of Rhetoric and their impact on the young student’s view of oral communication. In this workshop, we will connect our daily classroom recitations and oral activities to two basic canons of rhetoric and seek to strengthen the teachers’ confidence in their ability to evaluate and assist their developing oral communicators.
Speaker
Darlene Gomes, Ed. D., has a passion for speech, communication, and drama and is blessed to have used her gifts in classical and traditional Christian education for the past 33 years. Having received her bachelor’s degree in elementary education and master’s degree in dramatic productions from Pensacola Christian College, she recently completed her Doctor of Education from Liberty University with a focus on oral rhetoric and communication instruction in classical education. While Darlene has enjoyed teaching students from kindergarten to college level, one of her greatest joys is encouraging and equipping teachers to do “the work of the ministry”; effectively and with a joyful heart.
