Today in class we talked about debates. Debates are discussions between people who take opposing sides of an argument and attempt to persuade a public audience that their view, opinion or perspective is superior to their opponent's. Studying debates is difficult for me because you need to know a lot of vocabulary and compose clear sentences.

 

Strategy:

 

When you debate, you have to have an opinion and reasons/examples/details to support the opinion. You also have to appeal to the audience, to their intellect and to their emotions in order to help persuade their of your opinion. Organize your debate/argument point-by point. Use clear transitions to connect each point of the argument. If you can, find the contradictions in  the other person's argument and lead your opponent to acknowledge these contradictions through questioning them. In this way, you persuade your opponent to admit their opinion is flawed. Speak clearly, confidently, and concisely, never say more than you have to.
