Reading for the Rhetoric Stage

The "Reading for the Rhetoric Stage" is a full-year course designed for high-school students to engage in reading, literary discussion, and analysis. Students attend a weekly class where they discuss the week's reading and participate in socratic seminars. The course aims to foster a love for reading, expose students to various texts, and equip them with fundamental literary analysis and criticism skills. It's a mix of lecture and discussion, with students expected to read assigned pages in advance, actively participate in class discussions, and take notes for quizzes, exams, and other assignments. Please be aware that some readings contain mature themes, so parents and students should review the texts before enrolling if they have concerns.
