Tool · Chapter 13: Strategic Approaches to Argumentation
Context and Criterion
Understand the audience and agree what should decide the question.
Identify the audience, setting and relevant standard of judgement. A proposal might need to satisfy a budget, a learning goal or several competing aims. Make those criteria explicit so everyone can see what the argument is trying to establish.
The book explains Context and Criterion in chapter 13, Strategic Approaches to Argumentation.
