Share Lesson 3:
This video showcases the Reason Rule in action: using it to correct a mistaken argument map, in this case about Juuling. Correcting argument maps with the Reason Rule is something you’ll do a lot, and you’ll want to teach your students to do it themselves. The result will be persuasive, clear, and well-organized arguments!
