Jeffrey P. Mehltretter Drury offers rich coverage of theory while balancing everyday applicability, allowing students to use their skills soundly. Drury introduces the fundamentals of constructing and refuting arguments using the Toulmin model and ARG conditions (Acceptability, Relevance, and Grounds). Numerous real-world examples are connected to the theories of rhetoric and argumentation discussed—enabling students to practice and apply the content in personal, civic, and professional contexts, as well as traditional academic debates. Encouraging self-reflection, this book empowers students to find their voice and create positive change through argumentation in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUnique resources to help students navigate this complex terrain of argumentation:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"The Debate Situation\"\u003c\/strong\u003e offers students a birds-eye view of any given debate (or exchange of arguments between two or more people) organized around three necessary components: arguments, issues, and the proposition. The visual model of the debate situation illustrates how these features work together in guiding a debate and it lays the groundwork for understanding and generating arguments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to Use Standards for Evaluating Arguments \u003c\/strong\u003ecombine a prominent argument model (named after logician Stephen Toulmin) with a standards-based approach (the ARG conditions) to test of quality of an argument. The ARG conditions are three questions an advocate should ask of an argument in determining whether or not it is rationally persuasive. These questions are best served by research but don’t necessary require it, and thus they provide a useful posture for critically assessing the arguments you encounter. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple \"Everyday Life\" examples with an emphasis on context\u003c\/strong\u003e help students to connect the lessons more fully to their everyday life and encourages them to grapple explicitly with dilemmas arising in different contexts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"Find Your Voice Prompts\" focus on choice \u0026amp; empowerment\u003c\/strong\u003e to offer strategies for students to choose which arguments to address and how to address them—empowering students to use argumentation to find their voice. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"Build Your Skill Prompts\"\u003c\/strong\u003e use objective applications to test how well students have learned the information.
