Arguments

Quick question:

What is an argument according to you?

Time for a little chat

Think back of arguments you heard people -parents, your brother or sister, boss, a friend, a politician- use and you thought to be complete nonsense. In break-out rooms share at least one of these invalid arguments and discuss why you think it is weak or plain wrong

Watching and listening

While watching the next video; jot down arguments you hear...

claim

reason

conclusion

argument

assertion

argument indicator

a statement which may or may not be true

a claim used to support a conclusion

an unsupported claim

a term used specifically to signpost the reasons or conclusions in an argument

a claim about the world which we are asked to accept based on reasons

one or more reasons leading to a conclusion

And what arguments did you hear? 

What effect do these arguments have?

What characteristics do strong arguments have?
