Speaking in a winsome and persuasive manner is the capstone of a classical education, but training public speaking skills should not wait until the last few years of a student’s education. This workshop explores practical ways to train beginning rhetoric skills in the lower school and therefore develop con dent and winsome older students who embody the “good man well spoken.
