Argue With Me

Argue with Me offers a promising answer to teachers unsure how best to take advantage of new technology and the ease with which students seem able to use it. The flexible curriculum the book presents, geared to 6th-12th graders, is a result of years of research engaging students in argument as a way to develop thinking and writing skills. Argue with Me includes lesson plans, videos, applicable Common Core standards, auxiliary materials ready for copying, topic suggestions -- everything a teacher might need to use the curriculum. The book also provides a summary of the research evidence and illustrations documenting students' gains. The lead author, Deanna Kuhn, is the widely published author of Education for Thinking (Harvard University Press, 2008) and Professor of Psychology and Education at Teachers College Columbia University.
