Learning Styles
"You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
There daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart”
"You belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid to toil"
"Here in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind."
"Here you are in Slytherin,
Where you'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends."

Aristotle (384-322 B.C.).
Aristotle’s definition of rhetoric is
one of the earliest definitions of
communication
“Rhetoric” is “the faculty of
observing in any given case the
available means of persuasion”
(Rhetoric 1335b).
Aristotle attempted to work out a
theory of communication and
language.

Speaker
Message
Listener
Designed for public speaking/oration
Speaker at the center of the communication process
Speaker prepares a message for an intended audience
Message is intended to have an effect- influence the audience
Audience is seen to be passive and ready to be influenced by the
speaker's message
In other words, according to Aristotle a speaker sends a message to
an audience and the audience is affected by the message received.
