TJ reminded us all of the joys and pleasures of Progymnasmata. Ever wondered what it means?
from http://rhetoric.byu.edu/Pedagogy/Progymnasmata/Progymnasmata.htm
"A set of rudimentary exercises intended to prepare students of rhetoric for the creation and performance of complete practice orations (gymnasmata or declamations). A crucial component of classical and renaissance rhetorical pedagogy. Many progymnasmata exercises correlate directly with the parts of a classical oration."
Melissa pointed to the idea of having a "lexicon" for rhetorical usage
Other rhetorical terms ventured in class as ones class members would use in offering a rhetorical analysis:
Kairos
Ethos
Dissoi logoi
Progymnastama
Spirit
Epideictic
Arrangement
Memory
Situation
Delivery
Ecology
