The Argument Toolbox
Broadview Press Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-55481-516-6 (ISBN)
Drawing on the pedagogy, rhetorical theory, and student editor insights of The Argument Handbook, The Argument Toolbox is a very concise resource designed to help first year composition students, rhetoric and writing students, and first year seminar students build persuasive arguments in various genres. Like the more comprehensive text, The Argument Toolbox is organized and designed so that students can zero in on the content they need to respond to an assignment when faced with a blank screen, a hard deadline, and a skeptical audience.
K.J. Peters is Professor of English at Loyola Marymount University. He has 15 years of experience directing first-year writing programs and training graduate students, instructors, and professors of many disciplines in composition pedagogy and rhetorical theory.
