ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on how to teach the common features of an argument more effectively by providing examples of the kinds of assignments, assessments, and activities that different disciplines can do to meet these requirements. The structure of an argument essay is important because the reader can't be persuaded if he or she is struggling to follow the logic or sequence of what is being argued. The chapter discusses a little about scientific argument, but the author going to use science content to actually bring up a different point: that, in fact, argument can even be found embedded in other genres. This is just one example of how one can combine both literary analysis and argument much like what he wrote about earlier in this chapter. The author first introduces students to different forms of argument traps. He wrote earlier in this chapter how argument now finds itself blending into every subject and every genre: literary analysis, scientific journals.
