Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing is a brief yet versatile resource for teaching argument, persuasive writing, and research. It makes argument concepts clear and gives students strategies to move from critical thinking and analysis to crafting effective arguments. Comprehensive coverage of classic and contemporary approaches to argument — Aristotelian, Toulmin, Rogerian, visual argument, and more — provides a foundation for nearly 50 readings on current issues, such as student loan forgiveness and gun violence, topics that students will want to engage with and debate.
This book has some elements in Polish and is perfect for Polish Oral Matura exam, however, it can very well be used for other discussion-related purposes by non-Polish speakers.
Bookmarks added to the pdf file have the few Polish section names translated. Otherwise, it's mainly in English (including the instructions).
