Drawing on the pedagogy, rhetorical theory, and student editor insights of The Argument Handbook, The Argument Toolbox is a very concise resource designed to help first year composition students, rhetoric and writing students, and first year seminar students build persuasive arguments in various genres. Like the more comprehensive text, The Argument Toolbox is organized and designed so that students can zero in on the content they need to respond to an assignment when faced with a blank screen, a hard deadline, and a skeptical audience.

Industry Reviews

"The Argument Toolbox provides easy access to the most valuable tools found throughout The Argument Handbook. Those tools include the three helpful lenses for viewing arguments-invention, audience, and authority-as well as the boxed sets of step-by-step instructions for helping students apply rhetorical concepts for persuasively composing their arguments in multiple genres of writing. The more compact Argument Toolbox also preserves the flexible modular organization of the Handbook, thus allowing instructors a wide range of pedagogical options and offering students an abundance of composition resources ready to hand." - Steven Mailloux, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Irvine

"Building on his prior work with classical argument theory, here K.J. Peters provides a compact, well-organized, and student-friendly guide to demystifying academic argument forms with the aid of rhetorical concepts. The 'toolbox' image in the book's title emphasizes its practicality, which I admire!" - Patricia Bizzell, Distinguished Professor of English Emerita, College of the Holy Cross
