![Page 4: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Rhetoric
• “The whole process of education for me was learning to put names on things I already knew” (as said by Kinsey Millhone in Sue Grafton’s novel, C is for Corpse)
• You already ‘know’ rhetoric, you just might not know the terms
• Rhetoric is all around us in conversation, in movies, in ads, in books, in body language, and in art
![Page 5: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Your Job as AP Students is:
• 1) to perceive how language is at work orally and in writing, and
• 2) to become proficient in applying the resources of language in your own speaking and writing
• 3)in other words, to become a rhetorician
![Page 6: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rhetoric
• The study of effective:– Speaking– Writing
• What is said (content)
• How it is said (form)
![Page 7: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How vs. What
• how one says something conveys meaning as much as what one says
• Don’t be mislead by the saying “mere rhetoric”• “Rhetoricians divided form and content not to place
content above form, but to highlight the interdependence of language and meaning, argument and ornament, thought and its expression.
• “[This] means that linguistic forms are not merely instrumental, but fundamental—not only to persuasion, but to thought itself.”
![Page 8: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Content vs. Form“ornament”
• “superficial”• “inessential
decoration”
• “to equip”
• equipment required to achieve the intended meaning

What students need to know
• Read the following three slides that contain an introduction to an essay that answers the question:
• “What do AP students need to know about rhetoric?”
• Which one is best?
![Page 19: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What do students need to know?
• The AP Exam places a strong emphasis on students’ ability to analyze texts rhetorically. It’s an important question for teachers to consider what students need to know about this often misunderstood term in order to write confidently and skillfully.
![Page 20: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What do students need to know?
• The traditional definition of rhetoric, first proposed by Aristotle, and embellished over the centuries by scholars and teachers, is that rhetoric is the art of observing in any given case the “available means of persuasion.”
![Page 21: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What do students need to know?
• “The whole process of education for me was learning to put names to things I already knew.” That’s a line spoken by Kinsey Millhone, Sue Grafton’s private investigator in one of her series of alphabet mystery novels, C is for Corpse. When I began a graduate program that specialized in rhetoric, I wasn’t quite sure what that word meant. But once I was introduced to it, I realized rhetoric was something I had always known about.
![Page 22: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So…which one is best?
• It’s a rhetorical decision based on what the writer knows about:
• herself• her subject• her audience
![Page 23: Silva Rhetoricae The Forest (and Trees) of Rhetoric.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc00/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
