conclusion?
Natalie Wexler effectively argues that reform in civics
education is needed. She believes that "Instead of
rethinking civics, we need to rethink basic assumptions
about teaching and learning." She juxtaposes current
teaching methods like "action civics" with new ideas
like the use of journalism. This compels the audience to
consider how reform can help students engage in their
communities and understand multiple perspectives on
issues. She also appeals to authority to make her
claim. She effectively explains why it is more important
to reconsider principles of teaching and learning when
considering how to improve civics education

expert in educational reform
O Wexler relies on strong reasoning, but some of her
