This text explores the nature and structures of academic arguments through the analysis and implementation of critical and creative thinking techniques. Through a combination of the latest research in hemispheric science, neuropsychology, and brain development, along with the long-established rhetorical algorithms for analyzing the dynamic structure of arguments, this text attempts to develop a clearer and more robust model for the construction and deconstruction of various forms of argument. A variety of "texts" are used to help students develop rhetorical analysis skills, critical thinking tools, creative problem solving abilities, and a responsive, diverse, and integrative apparatus for establishing the veracity of truth claims in both academic and cultural contexts.

This OER text seeks to reimagine the college essay across a number of different modalities and subjectivities. Attention is paid to how traditional research has changed over the last ten years; the importance of multimodal instruction and composition; and how concepts like “authority,” “coherence,” and “standard English” carry cultural, economic, and political connotations that can be, when acknowledged and integrated into the process, meaningfully addressed to ensure as many students as possible are engaged and empowered to create meaningful and impactful forms of intentional, academic content.
