ARGUMENT IN COMPOSITION provides access to a wide range of
resources that bear on the teaching of writing and argument. The
ideas of major theorists of classical and contemporary rhetoric and
argument-from Aristotle to Burke, Toulmin, and Perelman-are
explained and elaborated, especially as they inform pedagogies of
argumentation and composition. John Ramage, Micheal Callaway,
Jennifer Clary-Lemon, and Zachary Waggoner present methods of
teaching informal fallacies and analyzing propaganda, while also
providing a rationale for preferring an argument approach over
other available approaches to the teaching of writing. The authors
also identify the role of argument in pedagogies that are not
overtly called argument, including pedagogies that foreground
feminism, liberation, critical cultural studies, writing across the
curriculum, genre, service learning, technology, and visual
rhetoric. The lists of further reading and the annotated
bibliography provide opportunities for learning more about the
approaches presented in this indispensable guide. JOHN RAMAGE is
Emeritus Professor at Arizona State University and the author of
numerous books, including Rhetoric: A User's Guide (2005) and (with
John Bean and June Johnson) Writing Arguments. MICHEAL CALLAWAY is
Residential Faculty at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona,
where he focuses on teaching and developing curriculum for
developmental writing courses. ZACHARY WAGGONER teaches courses in
rhetoric, composition, videogame theory, and new teaching assistant
education at Arizona State University. He is the author of My
Avatar, My Self: Identity in Video Role-Playing Games (McFarland,
2009). JENNIFER CLARY-LEMON is Assistant Professor of Rhetoric at
the University of Winnipeg. She is co-editor, with Peter Vandenberg
and Sue Hum, of Relations, Locations, Positions: Composition Theory
for Writing Teachers (NCTE, 2006) and has published work in
Composition Studies, American Review of Canadian Studies, and (with
Maureen Daly Goggin and Duane Roen) the Handbook of Research on
Writing. REFERENCE GUIDES TO RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION, Edited by
