Thank You for Arguing
Have you ever felt, "Man! It would have been so nice if I had gotten my way just then" after a small session of exchanging opinions and asking everyone on the playground if they had seen the ball go out of bounds? Well, you don't have to feel that any longer because Jay Heinrichs has given us a nicely laid out, well-researched, treasure that is Thank You for Arguing.
It's been revised and updated 3 times and Heinrichs has fulfilled lots of reader and teacher requests with every new edition, this proves that he cares about maintaining a strong connection with readers and educators alike. For anyone who's ever felt like you could have won that argument if you just chose your words differently, or used a different technique, well then this book is for you. Be warned: Kids looking to pick this book up in order to win "b-ball arguments" with your friends, this isn't just a sort of manual, that you buy and use when you need it; you have to read all the way through and understand it, along with being the type of person who enjoys a carefully paced, scholarly debate, rather than fighting with your mom about what clothes to wear to school.
