Argumentation teaches students how to engage with ideas thoughtfully and responsibly. It focuses on thinking clearly, engaging respectfully, and supporting ideas with evidence. The Argumentation subscription equips secondary teachers (grades 6–12) with the tools to teach students how to write thoughtful, structured, and effective arguments.

This video series guides teachers through the full progression of argumentative writing instruction—from early opinion writing to advanced academic argument. Teachers learn how to help students develop debatable thesis statements, write concessions and counterarguments, and craft effective refutations. At the high school and advanced academic levels, instruction expands to rhetorical analysis and classical models of argumentation, including Aristotelian rhetoric, the Rogerian model, and the Toulmin model.

Designed for teachers who want focused professional learning in one writing mode, this subscription supports instruction that prepares students not only for academic success but for meaningful participation in civic and intellectual life.

Please Note: If you are new to the program, you will also want the Teacher’s Guide and Graphic Organizers to apply the method successfully. These materials are normally $69.99 each, but with your Study Hall subscription you receive a 20% discount (shipping not included).
