What Canon is used to arrange what you want to say?
Organization
In traditional classical order, the parts are arranged in a certain way. Why?
Classical order helps to give you a strong argument. Classical order starts by engaging the audience (exordium), giving them necessary context (narratio), and a roadmap of what will follow (partitio.) Then, the speaker will present his arguments (confirmatio) before countering arguments from the opponent to address any lingering doubts (refutatio.) Finally, the speaker will summarize his arguments and touch on all three rhetorical appeals with a focus on pathos (peroratio.)
