how to build evidence for your debate

What’s a Fact? A fact is information that can be verified and proven through experience or observation. Facts are not open for debate. Example The Boston Celtics have won the most championships in the NBA, 17.

What’s an Opinion? An opinion is information based on personal beliefs, attitudes, or judgments. Opinions can be challenged in debate. Example The Boston Celtics are the best basketball team.

Can something be both? An argument is an opinion that is qualified, at least partially supported by fact. Arguments are perfect for debates. Example The Boston Celtics are the best basketball team because they have won the most championships in the NBA, 17.

How do Arguments work? Arguments are like the center part of a Venn Diagram, they are the “gray area,” in between facts and opinions. Opinion + Fact = Argument All you have to do is provide a factual piece of evidence for your opinion and you’ll be arguing effectively.

How do Arguments work? OPINION The Boston Celtics are the best basketball team. FACT The Boston Celtics have won 17 championships The Boston Celtics have the most NBA players in the Hall of Fame, 39 The Boston Celtics have retired the most retired numbers of any professional sports team, 21
