The "True Meaning" of Argument: Conflicting Definitions of Argument in the Common Core State Standards
Andrew Rejan
English Journal, v106 n5 p18-26 2017
The author explores the tension between the social and cognitive definition of "argument" in the Common Core's theoretical rationale and the structural approach to argument reflected in the exemplars of student writing, evaluating the implications of these inconsistencies for the high school English classroom.
