What to do |
Example |
|
State their argument/contention in as few words as
possible --do not restate the reason(s) they offered
for their argument |
They said Sanctions would anger Russia into backlash |
|
State Your Response --almost always you state the opposite of their
argument --in a few cases, you say “that isn’t important
because” --in a few cases, you say “my proposal is the best
way to address this because . . .” --in a few cases, you say “yes, this argument
proves my case because . . .” |
Sanctions will not anger Russia into backlash |
|
Make your arguments INCLUDE at least
2 arguments FOR EACH RESPONSE, include 5 to 9 word argument tag, and 1 to 2
sentences giving a reason for the argument. TRY TO MAKE AN “I’M ON THE OFFENSE” RESPONSE where you show how your
side is better |
1.
Russia won’t backlash They know that if they escalate the
situation, it will only get worse for them 2.
Russia won’t be angered They know their actions were
provocative and so they had to expect sanctions. 3.
Sanctions prevent Russian backlash Sanctions mean Russia does not have the money to backlash—they won’t have the military supplies to do anything serious. |
