Thanks for sharing this. I bookmarked it, and will share it with my teaching colleagues. We've been grappling with the differences between "persuasive" and "argument."

Kuhn's research (There's lots of it) and the implications as outlined by Nystrand and Graff should help you and your colleagues distinguish between persuasion and argumentation and the influence of classrooms environment on student learning. Nothing happens outside the lived context yes? The slideshare is from a workshop I did last year for literacy coaches in NYC. I have been in contact with Kuhn (she's at TC/Columbia). I recommend her work highly. It is fascinating. The Nystrand and Graff research is alo very, very compelling. Good luck to you and your colleagues as you wade through this.
