Unit III. Unite

By Dreams For Kids | February 22, 2015

How does rhetoric inspire and mobilize?

In this unit, Unite, you will study political speeches to learn how we might also inspire, unite, and mobilize others for a cause. Reading masters of rhetorical skill from different historical eras up to the present, you will learn the rhetorical skills and devices that tend to attract and unify ideas and people. You will practice building unity by writing a formal proposal. Finally, you will share your broader dreams with others in the hopes of inspiring them to action.
Here are the unit sub guiding questions you will pursue:

  • What sort of rhetoric inspires and unites?
  • How will you attract partners using rhetoric? (Or, when is 1 + 1 > 2?)
  • What is the most persuasive way to share your dream?
