Beyond Being Opinionated: Expression, Invention, Assertion, Argument (A Symposium).
Holt, R. F.; And Others
English Journal, v80 n7 p50-55 Nov 1991

Reiterates some useful definitions and distinctions, discusses classical rhetoric, connects the teaching of argument to eleventh grade U.S. literature, and shows how to teach students to respond to literature by asking "why" questions rather than "what" questions.
