Types of Argument Style

Help your students argue better—like, actually better. This 2-day unit breaks down the three big argument styles: Rogerian (the mediator), Aristotelian (the lawyer), and Toulmin (the fact-stater). Your students will learn when to find common ground, when to bring the evidence, and when to just lay out the logic. Includes a full worksheet with real-world examples, a Toulmin breakdown chart, identification practice, and space for students to write their own arguments in each style. Plus, a complete teacher's guide comes with it—day-by-day plans, discussion prompts, exit tickets, differentiation for ELL and advanced learners, and extension activities. Perfect for grades 9–12. No prep stress, just ready-to-go lessons that actually stick.
