Through a three-part format that gradually builds skills, students learn to effectively express their views and to recognize emotional, illogical, or irrational arguments presented by others. Features: A variety of vehicles for expressing one's point of view are addressed, including dialogs, editorials, and letters. Analysis of argumentation techniques, particularly in academic and business situations, familiarize students with the effective use of logic and persuasion. Presentation methods and the verbal skills needed to express oneself clearly and confidently are developed." (Book Cover) | ||
