Starkweather and Smith: Using "Contact Zones" to Teach Argument

Robin Muksian Schutt

Abstract

Describes how a professor teaching a "Writing Arguments" course focused on two cases involving the death penalty to show students how arguments are constructed, and how students can form strong arguments of their own. Notes that this approach does not force students to choose sides when they stand somewhere in the middle. Describes four class writing assignments.
