The course not only equips the learner to [analyze arguments], but also occasionally gives a chance to see the effect of the authors assumptions on some of their conclusions. This unexpected real-life application of the material, though rare, is a definite bonus.

If you want your high school students to learn logic and critical thinking, the <em>James Madison Critical Thinking Course</em> is wonderful resource. Its fun, relevant, and challenging, and comes with a clear and thorough answer key. While not a formal logic course, it is probably more useful than such a course could ever be, and it would also be a good preparation for one.
