A STUDENT VERSION OF A CURRICULUM GUIDE ON RHETORICAL REASONING PROCESSES WAS DEVELOPED. TWO UNITS INVOLVING DEDUCTION AND PLAUSIBILITY WERE INCLUDED. LESSONS INVOLVING ASSUMPTIONS, PATTERNS OF DEDUCTIVE THINKING, FACTS, AND VALUE JUDGMENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE UNIT ON DEDUCTION. THE UNIT ON PLAUSIBILITY GAVE THE STUDENT THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY HIS HAND AT IMAGINATIVE WRITING IN WHICH HIS PROBLEM WAS TO MAINTAIN CREDIBILITY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF AN IMAGINED SITUATION. PROSE MODELS WERE SUPPLIED FOR BOTH SECTIONS. THE TEACHER VERSION IS ED 010 810. RELATED REPORTS ARE ED 010 129 THROUGH ED 010 160 AND ED 010 803 THROUGH ED 010 832. (GD)
