When teaching students to argue, watch out for these areas of difficulty:

 Faulty Logic. Basing an argument on a mistaken assumption (such as a misunderstanding of a plot point, for instance) can undermine a strong argument. Help students avoid such missteps by asking them to research carefully.

 Lack of Clarity. Academic arguments often reside in formal papers. Sometimes, students will be so convinced that their audience wants a certain level of formality in writing that they overdo it and lose clarity and precision.

 Hasty Assumptions. As with faulty logic, overgeneralizing (say, about a historical era) can lead to a weak argument. Help students be precise.
