As teacher my composition class is a mixture of argumentative theory which presents students with the vocabulary to discuss their methods of argumentation, critical essays that open debates among the students, and student essays, both as examples and to train critical reading. By reading and debating current articles, the students are forced to address controversial topics, analyze their opponent's arguments and logically defend their own position. By analyzing their peers’ essays in order to teach them to become better readers of their own work. By continually writing, revising, rewriting, they learn to translate their thoughts into a reader-friendly argument that is coherently structured, well-argued, and aware of its audience.
