Viva Voce

You will have 30 minutes to prepare for a 15 minute discussion with me about one subject from one of your three notecards.

Here are the possible topics:

• Orality
• Homeric Rhetoric
• Plato
• Aristotle
• Women in Classical Rhetoric (Sappho and Aspasia)
• Stasis Theory
• Roman Rhetoric
• Cicero
• St. Augustine
• Nietzsche
• Burke
• Identification
• Image and Formal Rhetorics (Burke and Lanham)

I will evaluate your oral comments based on clarity and ability to effectively articulate/provide examples of rhetorical terms.
