Introduction -- A classroom culture of argumentation -- Our instructional approach -- Everyday arguments -- Practicing three elements of argument -- Applying what they've learned about argument to texts -- Putting it all together: applying argument to life choices -- How to use this book.
This book shows the way, with ready-to-implement lessons that make argument writing topical and relevant. Students are first asked to form arguments about subjects that matter to them, and then to reflect on the structure of those arguments, a process that provides learners with valuable, reusable structural models. Forming effective arguments is essential to students' success in academics and in life. This book's engaging lessons offer an innovative approach to teaching this critical and transferable skill.
