Overview:

Grounds for Argument is an interactive, online textbook. We’ll use it to establish a vocabulary of concepts for talking about argument so that you can complete your position paper, which will take a position on the issue you identified in your Conversation Collection. Completing Grounds for Argument chapters are not optional. You’ll be taking notes on them and be responsible for presenting on the chapter as part of a group.
