What is an argument? 0 An argument is an exchange of different or opposite views, typically a heated or angry one. 0 Example “I thought Saw IV was a great movie” “Are you kidding? That movie was a piece of junk”

What is a Debate? 0 A formal argument on a chosen topic in which opposing views are presented. 0 Types of Debate 0 Lincoln Douglas Debate- one on one debate inspired by the senatorial debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas in Parliamentary (Team) Debate- a form of debate in which two teams or two or more speakers argue for and against a selected topic. Each speaker presents arguments with evidence to support his or her team’s belief.

Using Evidence to Support an Argument 0 Why do we use evidence? 0 The source must be an expert in the subject area 0 The source should be free from bias 0 The evidence should be recent

Presumption 0 The notion that one team’s position is initially favored over the other team. 0 The NEGATIVE team in a debate has the benefit of presumption in a debate.

Burden of Proof 0 The team not enjoying presumption (Affirmative Team) must present sufficient reasons to overcome that presumption. 0 The Burden of Proof allows the AFFIRMATIVE team to start and end the debate

Burden of Rejoinder 0 Clash refers to the act of engaging your opponent’s arguments directly 0 In debate, arguments not clashed with are conceded 0 Teams must respond to the opponents arguments or there is no debate.

What topic would you like to debate about this year? 0 Jobs and the economy 0 Nuclear affairs between US and Middle East 0 Health care 0 Censorship of Internet 0 Education- financial aid for college 0 College admissions 0 Gay marriage 0 Freedom of speech 0 Privatize military; FBI; police force; school system 0 Right to bear arms 0 Revert to Gold standard? 0 Change driving age?
