samba Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I've been planning to use AofA this fall with dd and recently saw that they have come out with dvds. I watched the sample video and it looked a little slow-moving but I was thinking it might help get the dialog going to hear other kids thinking through the issues. Any thoughts?

TC5 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I hadn't heard about them. We're starting to use Art of Argument. :auto: off to learn more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 This one is the presentation of the Straw Man Argument..about a 20 min. preview of a course. I do like that it is a group setting discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC5 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I didn't get much info at the web site -- will watch the youtube video. Is the idea that this would make the course independent for the student and take the place of parent discussion? Tempting though that is, I am looking forward to the discussions we'll have, as we've already had great ones with just the introduction. Or is the DVD set just extra help in case we don't know what to talk about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
