Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Monday, December 27, 2004. Everything is an Argument" is a classroom communication tool, hopefully to build a little spirit of community as well as to share our experiences, both those that go well and those that are frustrating, as we work towards a well researched argument to present to the entire class as a PowerPoint presentation and a position paper that will be turned in as a traditional research paper.
