Toulmin Argument Model: claim, data, warrant/backing, counter-claim/rebuttal
This slightly revised model of rational argument adds a backbone of the scientific method and also replaces Qualifier with Counter-Claim (per Purdue OWL). Slow-animated GIF highlights/describes argument parts and how they work together to persuade a critical thinker. You can test your argument essay against these standards of rational persuasion or use the model to design/outline a powerfully persuasive essay (persuasive at least for critical thinkers).

Royal Plagiarism I: Melania Trump “borrows” from Michelle Obama
Animated GIF shows that corresponding parts of their convention speeches are nearly identical. Slowly successive frames highlight the similar words and phrases, showing both direct and mosaic plagiarism. Melania’s speech writer was careless in keeping track whose words were whose, so the lesson here is to be very careful about who said what and that academic integrity demands respect for the words and ideas of others, not just by using them but also by giving credit where it’s due. Thank you, Me

“Cumulative sentence” improves “We the people” readability—sentence diagram
A big thought may need a long sentence, but human awareness is limited to 4–7 chunks of information. A cumulative-generative sentence starts with the subject AND predicate and then adds modifying phrases after that. This kind of word-ordering allows the reader’s mind to pause and super-chunk the first part, and then add the supplemental ideas. The original “We the people…” sentence separates the subject and predicate and makes it more difficult for the reader to process the thought—the mind’s sh

A well-regulated language, being necessary to the collective wisdom of our country, the right of the Supreme Court to interpret and abuse commas, shall not be infringed.

The Curse of Knowledge: How writers betray (but can also help) their readers
Writers falsely assume that readers share an identical understanding and that just giving readers all the argument pieces will persuade them. Cognitive biases can fool the writer, but remedies exist to help writers break the curse and really reach their readers by avoiding jargon, by giving examples and explanations, and by chunking and super-chunking the information in bite-sized thoughts, etc.This animated GIF includes the academic explanation as well as a cartoon example.

Elements of Good Writing
This 27-page Prezi uses a free Prezi template to introduce the concepts behind good writing.

This Prezi can be used to introduce the concepts or quickly remind students of the basic elements of good writing. I usually use it as
