Teaching Arguments Review
I have learned many great techniques from this book. By applying logic and calmly looking at the situation presented to you writers are able to focus in on an argument and and the key factors that are important to an argument. Factors that go into creating your argument, are tone, audience, purpose, and the occasion. Fletcher does an amazing job and creating a text that explains what an argument is and how one should write an argument. I feel that the most beneficial chapter out of Fletcher's text would be chapter 6 and and 7. Chapter 6 talks about techniques used in order to analyze and integrate Ethos, Pathos, and Logos, and chapter 7 is Aristotle's Guide to being a good student. There is not really anything in this text that I feel makes it a poor read. For instance within chapter 6 Fletcher discusses how "Creating an Academic Ethos" many of the tips and tricks Fletcher talks about only benefit the reader and future writer. This text was an absolute pleasure to read and I truly did take to heart many of the techniques in it when teaching my students how to craft arguments inside the classroom during my Internship.
