Politics — ranging from speeches to debates, from presidential campaigns to deliberately placed television advertisements — provide an incredibly rich and authentic resource through which to teach argument and rhetorical analysis.
These resources provide a flexible framework through which modern politics can be used to teach argument in a rigorous and engaging fashion all year long — focus on visual rhetoric, analysis of appeals, and logical fallacies.
