- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2004Format: PaperbackThis book aims to teach English instructors who have little or no exposure to the fine art of argumentation so that they in turn can teach it to their students. It does a terrific job of it, and in plain language, too. He seems to favor the Toulmin terminology of claim, data, warrant. The book is the result of over 30 years of research and teaching argument. What were most helpful to me were the six catagories of argument strategies GASCAP, the acronym STAR for evaluating evidence, and the four types of claims: Definition, Substantiation, Evaluation, and Recommendation. He makes it so clear. I can't recommend this one enough; it really deserves 6 stars. He distills a lot of wisdom from others like Fahnestock and Secor, Toulmin, Eckhardt and Stewart, etc. He also makes a convincing argument that teaching the syllogism doesn't translate well into student papers. Additionally, he makes sense out of the informal fallacies of argumentation by dividing them into three useful catagories. I hope this is a persuasive enough argument to encourage you to read this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014Format: PaperbackVerified Purchasekinda boring but cited by others (eg. Hillocks). Good for teacher background. Recommend Hillocks' Teaching Argument Writing: 6-12 for those seeking more practical applications for the classroom.
