teaching and teachers

What are the teaching objectives of the rhetoric teacher?
How do these objectives change (or perhaps they have already) with the introduction of new media?
What will the "digital textbook" be able to do in the rhetoric and composition classroom?
What differences are there in the application of multimedia to writing with rhetoric tenure track faculty versus adjunct faculty?

Has anyone here taught or read Aristotle rhetoric? If so, maybe you can help me. I'm teaching a homeschool co-op class on Aristotle's Rhetoric. It's interesting to read some of the original perspectives on the subject since we interpret it differently now. Nonetheless, I am only managing to stay one lesson ahead of the students; I also have not read any other of Aristotle's other works nor any of the Roman works (by Cicero, Quintillian, etc.), so I'm rather in the dark about it. The problem lies not in my weekly class, but in my failure to know how to teach a partiular student who has read more of Aristotle than I have, for example the Nicomachean Ethics and the Topics. Any ideas on how to depend lessons for him? He's very bright too, though humble about it. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks.
