Explain in your own words: what argument(s) against the 'meat tax' does this speaker present?

Now that you've listened to people speaking out about being pro or against the 'meat tax,' what do you think you should include when defending your opinion?

so what do I need to do in order to prepare for my debate?

*State your own opinion.

*Explain why you think so.

*Prepare at least two points of evidence (research/important speakers/certain groups of people).

*Prepare  a rebuttal (weerlegging, iets wat tegen jouw mening over dit statement in gaat).

*Prepare a conclusion.

          Assignment (15m) to be handed in at the end of class.

1: Think of a statement you could be for or against, any topic.

3: Write down your own opinion.

4: Explain why you think so.

5: Provide two evidence-based arguments.

Quick check: Why do you agree/disagree with the statement you chose?

Quick check 2: What evidence have you found pro/against your statement?

Quick check 3: Formulate your 2 most effective arguments pro/against the statement
you chose.

Keep in mind the previous question you've answered, have you completed today's lesson goal? (At the end of this lesson I can formulate 2 effective arguments pro/against my chosen statement)

1. Yes and I found it useful
2. Yes, but I didn't find it useful
3. No, I don't understand it
