Rhetoric School

Students during the rhetoric stage want to express themselves and their viewpoints. They cycle through the same historical sequence that has been covered in the grammar and logic stages, but with a different goal. They focus on making sense of the flow of history and offering an analysis of such. Students concentrate on persuading others of their interpretations.
