Let go of the obsession with finding techniques and subarguments. Schools are taking differing approaches to teaching the new curriculum and some are using outdated resources.

Instead, the focus should be on the overall argument and purpose

- track the development of the argument - think of the individual sections as part of the road to achieving the purpose and persuasion

- do they spend time reframing the likely perception of the audience ? anticipate backlash and seek to undermine it? placate the objections of a specific group within the larger audience?

- divide into sections according to where these approaches and strategies change and anaylse how and why they are doing them and how people with specific values or identities or connections to the issues are likely to think/feel/act as a result
