Rhetoric 1: How the two of you talk
Explain connection between the way you talk to each other, and the character of the relationship (for some this may be as much about *place*--where you grew up, or met, etc.--for others about "being guys", or "being girls", or "video boys"--as these are small "discourse communities", the way you talk is related to identity, some of which is given by where and how people grow up, but some of which is choice, action, learning--what you do).

Rhetoric 2: How to segue
Explain how/why you constructed the segue the way you did--this reveals your own views of how rhetoric best relates to you partner--also reveals a sort of strategic planning

Rhetoric 3: How to explain and relate
After the segue, which moves the topic to rhetoric, you're in the position of having to explain rhetoric at least a little, and then explain how/why it is important and not evil, in fact valuable, to your listener and society

Rhetoric 4: Reflecting on this layered exercise in understanding and applying rhetoric
While you are constructing this assignment, you are working through each of these different layers, or maybe "concentric circles", of rhetoric.
