Inventing Arguments - Softcover
Organized around common rhetorical situations that occur all around us, INVENTING ARGUMENTS shows students that argument is a living process rather than a form to be modeled. The text's prominent focus on invention teaches students to recognize the rhetorical elements of any argumentative situation and apply the tools of argument effectively in their own writing.

Review:
"Placing the readings at the front of the chapter makes perfect sense and allows students to being investigating the chapter theme immediately. In short, the arrangement equips the writers to begin thinking and writing right away. Best of all, the new organization leads students deeply into rhetorical theory, multiple genres, and chapter themes without making them feel as though they are working too hard."
"The Everyday Argument feature also offers productive, flexible suggestions for students, useful in a variety of pedagogical situations. The activities are appealing to students while successfully reinforcing chapter content."
