2019 Workshop Talk | 51:25 | All Grade Levels, Rhetoric & Composition
Summary
While the Rhetoric stage doesn’t begin until High School, the ability to persuade develops long before then. (If you have ever spent time with toddlers, then you know just how persuasive they can be!) Therefore, teaching students how to biblically steward this gift of persuasion should occur long before Rhetoric school . The daunting task that faces Classical Christian educators and administrators is not graduating eloquent students, rather it is graduating students who use such eloquence to advance the Kingdom of God above their own agenda. If this is truly our desire, then every teacher has a part to play. This workshop equips K-12 teachers with a common vision concerning Classical Christian Rhetoric and its proper stewardship.
