Class Overview
This course is devoted to the analysis, discussion, and practice of the art and skill of rhetoric as it has been developed in the United States. We will achieve each of these goals in the way most suitable to them, namely, by studying the writing and speeches of great American orators, reflecting on what made them so, and practicing how best to emulate them in our own writing and speeches.
About Mr. Jordan
About Mr. Jordan
Tutoring Hours: T/Th Lyceum, Rm. 200
Mr. Jordan realized during his first year at North Central College that a great injustice was being asked of him – despite his love of history, literature, philosophy, and theology, he would have to choose just one for his major in order to graduate. As a result of this impossible decision, he dodged the problem altogether by studying East Asian Studies and Japanese, which let him do all at once. Still not satisfied, he also received a minor in History of Ideas, which let seminar on the Great Books of the West, and he later went on to receive his Masters degree in the Eastern Classics at St. Johns and take a summer-long intensive program there on the Islamic Classics. This last summer, he returned to St John's for a second masters degree in the Liberal Arts, so that he can step back into the role of his students. Since 2008 Mr. Jordan has joyfully taught all of the courses in the Lit/Comp, History, and Humane Letters sequence at Arete Prep. In his leisure, he enjoys hiking in nature, reading books that challenge him, drinking good tea, and practicing meditation.
