Perspectives on Argument
by Nancy V. Wood
Discovering Arguments
by William Palmer
This book uses logos, pathos, and ethos in critical thinking, active reading, and persuasive writing. Accessible and stimulating, the versatile manual can be used as a rhetoric, a reader, a guide on research writing, and a guide on style. Through its chapters, users learn to excel at what they say; through our style interchapters users earn to excel at how they say it. Cheating, conservation, race, politics, male/female communication styles, gun control, abortion, same-sex marriage, stem cell research – many diverse and mature readings on these subjects engage readers and writers in analytical thinking and stimulate them to react with thoughtful discussions and compositions. For individuals who want to communicate clearly, argue persuasively, and analyze and evaluate what they read.
Writing Argumentative Essays
by Nancy V. Wood
Seeking Common Cause
by Lisa Gerrard
Well-crafted Argument
by Fred D. White
The goal of this two-part argument rhetoric/reader is to equip students with a complete set of skills (writing, arguing, reasoning, critical reading and thinking, researching) necessary for writing argumentative essays in a wide variety of contexts and disciplines. The Well-Crafted Argument uses a practical, accessible, skills-based approach to teaching argument while encouraging students to develop their individual voices and visions. Part One, "The Rhetoric of Argument," covers using the writing process when writing arguments, framing arguments using three main models (Classic, Toulmin, and Rogerian), reasoning and avoiding fallacies, critical reading and thinking, research, and documentation of sources. Integrated throughout this part are 16 sample arguments, including Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" and Martin Luther King, Jr.,'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Other student and professional contributors include Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke, Virginia Woolf, W. E. B. DuBois, and Galileo. In addition, drafts of student essays illustrate the composing process. Part Two, "Reading Clusters," is an anthology of 95 readings grouped into nine clusters. The first eight clusters cover controversial topics of current interest, such as downloading music files, national security, cyberspace and education, standardized testing, censorship, and media violence. Each cluster includes a wide range of contrasting (not just opposing) views. The last cluster features famous arguments, including Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress," Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," Frederick Douglass's "I Hear the Mournful Wail of Millions," and Roe v. Wade. At least one student essay is included within each of the nine reading clusters. The chapter on researching arguments provides the latest information on search engines, databases, and Internet resources. The chapter on documentation covers MLA and APA styles and includes a sample student paper for each style. Expanded commentary on the different models of argument features more thorough treatment of the Toulmin model and a clearer distinction between the Classical and Toulmin models. Each cluster includes a visual-argument selection and commentary on visual rhetoric in the context of argumentation.
