Level: 8-12

“The Argument Builder (Student Edition) is the ideal follow-up companion to The Art of Argument. Where The Art of Argument enables students to find and identify fallacies in various kinds of writing and speech, The Argument Builder will teach students to actually build compelling and persuasive arguments of their own. The Argument Builder is a blend of logic and rhetoric.* Students first study the logical structure of good arguments, and then study how to use several lines of argument (a.k.a. the common topics), such as the use of examples, analogy, comparison, testimony, and statistics. The text comes in a workbook format with plenty of exercises to ensure students learn to become skilled argument makers!

The Argument Builder Teacher’s Edition is also available. It includes the entire student text, answers to exercises, teaching tips, and reproducible worksheets. Suggested schedules are available in the Support tab above.” – Classical Academic Press
