A rhetorical mode is a strategy--a way or method of presenting a subject-through writing or speech. Some of the better known rhetorical modes are, for example, "argument" and "cause and effect." There are literally dozens, perhaps hundreds, of strategies or methods for presenting subjects; however, the modes are among the most basic. Instructors have used rhetorical modes to teach writing or public speaking since ancient Greek times over two thousand years ago, perhaps longer. Knowing the modes can help us understand the organization--the methodology--of most kinds of writings or other presentations. The basic modes are presented below in alphabetical order. Though you can study and practice the modes in any order, often it is helpful to start with "Extended Definition" because it's pattern of thought useful when writing the introduction to any paper using the other rhetorical modes. Similarly, you may find "Description" helpful to learn early: not only do many people find this mode easier to use, but also its pattern of thought, too, is used in many other types of papers
