This teacher's guide provides educators with strategies and graphic organizers designed to guide their students in producing an argument with specific, relevant, and appropriate evidence as well as insightful analysis. The objective for teaching argumentation is for students to look at both sides of an issue and understand how to integrate rhetorical devices, such as claim, concession, counterargument, and refutation in order to discuss the issue intelligently, ethically, and logically, and ultimately change their opposition's opinion without aggression or menace. In this era in which we find ourselves, teaching argumentation is a critical skill in developing the minds of young thinkers.
