Rhetoric and Critical Thinking Skills

Overview

The aim of the project is to produce online modules with lessons involving the modes of persuasion, basic argumentation (including the Toulmin model), critical thinking skills and a selection of rhetorical figures. The goal is to provide students an argumentative framework in which they will be able to practice the use of rhetorical figures. When the project is completed, teachers may embed the modules into their courses to aid the composition of oral and written assigments.
