In this brief but comprehensive guide to teaching argument writing, teachers will learn why teaching argument is important, the elements of formal argument, and how to get started with their own students in sections that include planning, assessing, and troubleshooting. Also provided: a semantic differential scale, scenario, and language frames to help jumpstart your first lesson.

From this guide, teachers will receive:

  • tools for assessment
  • an If-Then chart that helps teachers troubleshoot common problems
  • coaching to use Toulmin prompts to elicit the elements of argument from students.
