There's still space available in this two-day workshop with Kim Donehower in early August!
Audience: K-12
Dates: August 4-5 in Grand
ForksAudience: K-12
Instructor: Kim Donehower
Credits: One
Description: This mini-institute is
designed to give K-12 teachers an introductory course in classical to
contemporary rhetoric, so that we might select useful ideas, terms, and
techniques for our students and our teaching. The Common Core State Standards
for English Language Arts place tremendous emphasis on the "evidence-based
argument," but there's a more important word buried (and sometimes
misdefined) in the standards: "rhetoric." "Rhetoric," in
the classic sense, is the study of persuasion, and it's difficult to teach
students to read or write arguments without it. It encompasses everything from
coming up with sound claims to the selection of evidence to audience analysis
to persuasive techniques to word choice.UND registration link
