About the Class

In writing, division identifies the precise point of disagreement between the writer of an essay and those who hold the opposing view of his thesis. The purpose of the Division is to clarify precisely what is being discussed and where there is potential agreement. After all, it is useless to debate a point upon which there is no disagreement! A good persuasive essay reveals the points upon which there is agreement and emphasizes the areas where there is some disagreement. Essays that fail to do so run the risk of arguing in circles without saying anything useful.

In this FREE webinar, CiRCE certified teacher and longtime Lost Tools of Writing instructor, Renee Mathis, will show how to craft a useful Division - and will show you how to show your students to craft a useful Division.
