IDENTIFYING SUPPORTS AND DETAILS


The supports (rebuttals) are the statements
that counter the arguments raised by the
affirmative side.
We also consider as supports (but not
rebuttals) statements that counter the
affirmatives stance even if they do not
address a main idea of the affirmative side.

QUICK EXERCISES
Motion

Main Ideas

We on the affirmative side believe


that hard work does not equal
success.

1. First, there are many products


throughout history which became
successful out of luck and not due
to hard work.
2. Conversely, throughout CocaColas history they have launched
new products after lots of hard
work to only encounter massive
failure.
3. Lastly, even if one works hard
success is not guaranteed due to
the variable of time.

17

QUICK EXERCISES
Grading

Sample Response

Ops

We, the opposition, strongly believe that hard work


leads to success. First, hard work and not luck helps
us learn how to succeed. When companies use hard
work they learn more and they success. Second, I use
hard work and succeed in school. I am not different
from companies so they can copy me. Lastly, the
speaker said Coca-Cola, they have launched new
products. I agree with that. But Coca Cola is still
develop and doing good. So we believe that hard
work leads to success. I yield my time.

Do you agree that living in a small town is better than living in a big city? Give two
reasons to support your answer.
I would want to live in a city. Because it's surrounded by
tall buildings.
There is a lots of people in the city and restaurant too. But
living in a city can be sick because it has a bad air like a
car, engine, or trucks like that.
Being in inside the city, parks can be intersting.
When you go out, you can see cars and bikes move and if
you opened the car window you can hear birds chirp an
motorcycle roaring. Moreover, I like eating ice cream, too.

Motion

This house believes that the


government should regulate all

advertisements to verify the claims


made about a *product or *idea.

Main Ideas
1.

First, the government must verify the


statistics used in advertisements.

2.

Secondly, the government must verify the

claims made by the advertisers.


3.

Lastly, the government must verify the


credentials of the experts and celebrities
who shill for certain products or ideas.

36

Transcription

886720

I think governments should not regulate advertisements for some


reasons. Firstly, advertisements give people a lot of information.

For example, they can sell something new for people and they can
give tips in daily life. Secondly, they help make up people's minds.
If people can't buy what they want, they lose credibility to buy
something new. Lastly, you said they give misleading statistics and
they make false claims. But when people watch or see an
advertisement, they'll surely consider credibility and suspect an
exaggeration. In this reasons, I think governments should not
regulate advertisements.

can give money to them and eat. But that not companies' fault.
They know fast food is bad but they eat it, so
theres/theyres/theirs fault. Second, fast food can easy to eat. Its
comfortable and it needs just short times. It is easy to eat. In
