Debater's tip

Point, proof, link — and no tricks — “claim with evidence, the right side, a fair rebuttal, no fallacies”

  1. Find the topic of the question: argument parts, fact or opinion, evidence, sides, rebuttal, fallacy or linking word.
  2. Use that lesson’s tip — claim, evidence, reasoning; can it be checked?; relevant, specific, reliable; agree or disagree?; answer the point; name the broken step; show the link.
  3. Read every option before you choose.

Use it for: Revising Part 1 before a debate, a GD or an exam on argument writing.

Worked example: 🚩 Which fallacy is this? “Either you agree with me, or you are not my friend.” → false either/or

  1. Only two choices are offered, but you can disagree and still be friends.
  2. So it is a false either/or.

Check: Practise aloud: argue for “Every child should learn to swim” with a claim, evidence, reasoning and one linking word in each sentence ✓
