            <p>The transition into the middle and high school years marks a significant shift in a student's cognitive development, as 7th through 10th graders begin to move beyond concrete facts toward the complex world of abstract reasoning. For the homeschool parent, this developmental milestone offers a unique opportunity to integrate formal logic and critical thinking into the daily curriculum, transforming everyday disagreements over chores or curfews into valuable teaching moments. By mastering the foundations of argumentation, you can equip your teen with the tools to navigate a world filled with competing claims, ensuring they do not just memorize information but learn how to process it with a discerning mind. This course is designed to help you bridge the gap between simple opinion and structured reasoning, providing a clear roadmap for teaching the essential components of a logical argument: the claim, the evidence, and the warrant.</p>

<p>Beyond the basics of construction, this program delves into the defensive side of logic by teaching you and your student how to identify and dismantle logical fallacies. From the common pitfalls of "Ad Hominem" attacks to the "Slippery Slope" arguments often found in digital media and advertising, you will learn how to guide your teen through the noise of modern information consumption. The journey concludes with practical application, where you will mentor your student in the art of persuasive writing and the sophisticated practice of "steelmanning" opposing viewpoints—building up an opponent's argument before refuting it. By learning to stress-test their own ideas and revise for logical soundness, your teen will develop a level of intellectual rigor that prepares them for college-level discourse and informed adult life. Through interactive lessons and structured evaluations, you will gain the confidence to lead your homeschooler toward a true mastery of the art of argument.</p>
