  text: Learning argumentative writing is challenging. Besides writing fundamentals
    such as syntax and grammar, learners must select and arrange argument components
    meaningfully to create high-quality essays. To support argumentative writing computationally,
    one step is to mine the argumentative structure. When combined with automatic
    essay scoring, interactions of the argumentative structure and quality scores
    can be exploited for comprehensive writing support. Although studies have shown
    the usefulness of using information about the argumentative structure for essay
    scoring, no argument mining corpus with ground-truth essay quality annotations
    has been published yet. Moreover, none of the existing corpora contain essays
    written by school students specifically. To fill this research gap, we present
    a German corpus of 1,320 essays from school students of two age groups. Each essay
    has been manually annotated for argumentative structure and quality on multiple
    levels of granularity. We propose baseline approaches to argument mining and essay
    scoring, and we analyze interactions between both tasks, thereby laying the ground
    for quality-oriented argumentative writing support.
