Dissecting Arguments

Does anyone know of a good way to practice dissecting the different parts of an argument in a question stem? For example, J likes to highlight, circle, label P for premise & C for conclusion, call out context & referential phrases, key words like thus, therefore, etc. I feel like I need practice with this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you print out a bunch of questions and practice that by hand? Is that a helpful thing to do?

Thank you JY for your very first sentence response to this question. and oh my goodness, I needed that laugh! I definitely had that reaction and just simply gave up after taking more than 5 minutes of trying to wrap my mind around this question. Pat just showed up and ruined everything for me.

#help. Having a difficult time distinguishing between the "author's point" and the "premise" - any tips?
