Introducing+writing+arguments+with+powerpoint

Argument is a difficult form of writing for many students. The term "argument" has many connotations, some of them negative and aggressive. Students often misunderstand the concept, and it is no wonder; there are many skills that are required to write a solid, convincing argument not the least of which is the ability to think critically. I use the two attached powerpoints to introduce students to argument format, and to give them the overall picture of the elements that contribute to a convincing argument. This is my gift to you! xoxoxox Carol Szabo
