  19. Tanya – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    This presentation was interesting. I learned a lot through the presenters process of strategies and examples. This was very relevant and will use some of the strategies in my own classroom.

  20. Sara – DEFIANCE CITY (verified owner) –

    The examples were interesting and gave me some advice on how to improve teaching argumentative writing in my classroom. The overall design and content were highly effective in moving beyond abstract concepts to practical application. I particularly appreciated the variety of analytical challenges, such as the visual rhetoric exercise (analyzing the painting/abstract art) and the ethical/legal analysis (the Dr. McKnight case study). These activities were exceptional because they forced me to grapple with defining core concepts like “intent” and “evidence,” which is crucial for building complex arguments. The course excelled at demonstrating the need for logical rigor and valid reasoning in every claim. The focus on writing concise counter-arguments and structuring rebuttals was immediately useful and is a skill I can apply in all my future academic and professional writing.
