How to Use This Book Using the Lessons Directly Using the Tools Using Our Lessons as Templates References IndexReviewsDeveloping Writers of Argument is not only a practical guide for teaching students, but also a practical guide for educating teachers in the art of argument made simple. Instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, the authors draw upon years of research-based strategies and methodologies to make lessons real and relevant for today's learner. Reading the lessons provided me that 'ah ha' moment and helped me to internalize the need for the three Rs (relevance, responsibility, and respect) in teaching and learning. -- Kym Sheehan, Teacher/Curriculum Specialist In just a few weeks, Smith and Imbrenda's approach to instruction transformed my classroom. My students and I became passionate about our reading, writing, and discussions; our state assessment scores went up. This stuff works. I wish I had known about it my whole career. -- Hanna Poist, Language Arts Teacher I was impressed with how Smith and Imbrenda's approach helped students who are usually passive learners become so engaged in discussions about readings. Our test scores reflected that passion. -- Matthew Record, Principal Smith and Imbrenda care about deep and meaningful learning. In this book, they show how argument can be taught in ways that develop tremendous engagement and deep understanding through a process that is in service of critical literacy and social imagination and responsibility. There are a lot of books about argument out there. I'd argue that this one is the best and most transformative I've ever read. The `so what' lessons on reasoning/warranting alone will transform your teaching of argument and of much else. -- Jeffrey D.
