Discussion Board (https://utexas.instructure.com/courses/1164935/assignments/3735446) Goals And Objectives Goals: Rhetoric has been at the core of education for 2500 years, shaping cultural values and preparing young people to act as citizens in public life. Theories and schools of rhetoric emerged in ancient Greece at the same time as democratic forms of government. As formal schooling developed, rhetoric become one of the original seven Liberal Arts (along with logic, grammar, arithmetic,geometry, astronomy, and music). Rhetoric remained at the center of education throughout the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and early modern periods until Germanic forms of schooling came to dominate in the 19th C. A modern revival of the study of rhetoric began in the mid-20th C. Now many universities have graduate and undergraduate degrees in rhetoric. Rhetoric 321 is designed to introduce you to the principles of rhetoric and some of its history. It will prepare you for— or tie together—the other courses in the rhetoric major. At the practical level, you will develop and improve three interrelated abilities: to analyze texts rhetorically, to think critically, to write persuasively. By writing both analytically and persuasively, you will become better judges and more effective advocates.
