20 min prep time Use pp to prepare claims. Be sure to cite specific lines for backing/support.

17. Developing Arguments
Remember opening order: Fact, Definition, Cause, Degree, and then Action.
For every claim you make, you must provide support (ie. Author’s last name or page), or it won’t count.
Watch Fallacy. Hard evidence will receive more points than fallacy.
You must begin to listen to one another, and address every claim. You may do this by:
Offering a direct counter argument to each opponent claim
Explaining why your opponents’ claim is not as important in degree as yours
Explaining how the opponents’ claims are not supported, precedented, or comparable to yours.
