Learn Rhetoric
The Rhetoric School
933 excerpts drawn from the Reader's 196 passages put 79 of the guide's 84 devices in play, across 9 families. Read the marked phrase, then name its device. All four choices come from the same family. To study before you drill, browse the field guide.
Start with the placement. Two questions from each family show where you stand and give the scoreboard its first real numbers.

Also in the School: the Device Forge — write devices and have them mechanically verified — and the paper quiz for classrooms.
