In this session, we will show you new methods for teaching argument in ways that go beyond the "persuasive argument" strategies found in almost all argument textbooks. Today's outdated textbooks offer methods that were developed centuries ago, specifically for spoken monologues and written essays. We will show you how to teach your students "generative" argument strategies such as framing, identification, negotiation, and narrative, which work better in today's networked and socially-mediated environments.
