Rhetoric - What, Why, and How?
First off, rhetoric is the art of discourse, an art that aims to improve the ability of writers and speakers to inform, persuade and motivate. This textbook, Skyline’s Writing & Reading Rhetoric, was written by English teachers at Skyline College with contributions from our Librarians and ESOL teachers with the goal of providing clear and consistent instruction on how to recognize and apply successful writing, reading, and research strategies.
