Argument
Identify/Generate the principle
Time: variable
Argument boxes are often more useful than standard outlines; students
can tell at a glance what elements are missing. Students can fill
in argument boxes to identify the arguments of other writers (including
their classmates), to brainstorm/outline their own upcoming essays,
or to reverse outline writing they've already completed. They can
also be used in conjunction with argument
workshop worksheets, so
that students can evaluate what they identify. For an easily printable version of the argument boxes below, click here. For another version
of argument boxes in Word format (on this form, students need to
add the arrows connecting the boxes), click here.
