Teaching Argumentative Writing as a way to Enhance Soft Skills

One of the challenges that I face as an English instructor is to find new and innovative ways to teach rhetoric and argumentative writing. Does anyone have any ideas on how to stress to students the relevancy of basical rhetorical concepts in the workplace?

Closed Questions to Begin a Literature Course

I am an English instructor and when I teach literature courses I often begin the class by asking students to provide some basic information about the text that we are scheduled to discuss that day. For example, if my class is set to talk about a short story, I will ask who the characters are and where the story is set. Would these be considered "closed questions"?
