Week 1 - Quarter 4 | Ma’am Bazar |
 MELCS
● Gathers manifestos and analyzes the arguments
used by the writer/s
● Defends a stand on an issue by presenting
reasonable arguments supported by properly
cited factual evidences
ARGUMENT/S
 Argument/s
● expressing a point of view on a subject and supporting it with
evidence – is often the aim of academic writing.
● are claims backed by reasons that are supported by evidence.
● It is a statement or a set of statements that you use in order to try
to convince people that your opinion about something is correct.
● It is a discussion or debate in which a number of people put
forward different or opposing opinions.
Evidence
● Do not stop with having a point. You have to back up
your point with evidence. The strength of your
evidence, and your use of it, can make or break your
argument.
● It is anything that you see, experience, read, or are
told that causes you to believe that something is true
or has really happened. (Collins Dictionary)
 Counterargument
● One way to strengthen your argument and show you have a
deep understanding of the issue you are discussing is to
anticipate and address counter arguments or objections. By
considering what someone who disagrees with your position
might have to say about your argument, you show that you
have thought things through, and you dispose of some reasons
your audience might have for not accepting your argument.
 Counterargument
● You can generate counterarguments by asking yourself how
someone who disagrees with you might respond to each of the
points you have made or your position as a whole.
● Consider how you will respond to them- will you concede
that your opponent has a point but explain what your audience
should nonetheless accept your argument?
 3-Parts to an
Argument in Debate
CLAIM, DATA, AND THE WARRANT
Claims​ without reasoning are very weak arguments.
Some might say it isn’t even an argument at all. The ​
more warrants, or reasoning​, that a claim has the
stronger it is generally speaking. Sometimes ​the data​
might be statistics sometimes it might be an expert
opinion.
For example:
The argument “I saw that movie got ‘two thumbs up’ so we
should go and see it” uses the expert opinion as the data for the
claim. ​The claim is that we should go​ ​see the movie​. ​The
warrant is that movies that receive two thumbs up are worth
seeing​. ​The data would be that the movie did, in fact, receive
a review of “two thumbs up.” This reasoning is based on an
appeal to the expertise of the reviewers, and​ ​little more.​ So, ​
that’s an argument. Claim-Warrant-Data.
Types of support for an
argument
 REASON, EVIDENCE, EMOTIONAL
APPEAL
● REASON​– a general statement that supports the claim
● EVIDENCE ​– consists of facts, statistics, experiences,
comparisons, and examples that show why the claim is valid.
● EMOTIONAL APPEALS - ​ideas that are targeted toward
needs or values that readers are likely to care about.
Parts of an Argument
 ISSUE, CLAIM, AND SUPPORT
● Issue-​ problem or controversy about which people
disagree
● Claim​– the position on the issue
● Support ​– reasons and evidences that the claim is
reasonable and should be accepted Refutation ​–
opposing viewpoints
*Claims without reasoning are very weak arguments*
What is debate?
Debate
● It is based on competing arguments.
● Each team offers arguments that they defend,
and they attack the arguments of their
opponents. Research provides the data and
warrants for defending and attacking
arguments.
For example:

“Team X will win the basketball game

against Team Y because Team X has
taller players than Team Y.”
Questions to ask:
● The ​“claim​” is the bottom line conclusion of the
argument – What is the claim for the argument?
● The ​“warrant​” is the reasoning behind the claim.
What is the reasoning or warrant for the claim?
● The “​data​” are the facts used to support the warrant.
What is the data for the warrant?
 Explanation:
There are many ways to attack an argument. You could challenge the
factual basis of the claim. In the first example, perhaps Team Y was in
fact taller than Team X. In the second example you could prove that there
has never been an innocent person executed in the U.S. Another way to
go would be to attack the reasoning/warrant. You could point out that the
taller team does not always win basketball games. You could find
examples of games that were not won by the taller team. You could say
that other factors such as shooting ability, experience, effort and
coaching might be equally or more important factors in winning.

MANIFESTO
 What is Manifesto?
● Manifesto is a document publicly declaring the position of an
issuer. A manifesto advances a set of ideas, opinions or views.
● Manifesto ​is a document publicly declaring the position or
program of its issuer.
● It advances a set of ideas, opinions, or views, but it can also lay
out a plan of action. While it can address any topic, it most
often concerns art, literature, or politics. ​
What is Manifesto?
● It is generally written in the name of a group sharing a
common perspective, ideology, or purpose rather than in the
name of a single individual. It combines a sometimes violent
societal critique with an inaugural and inspirational
declaration of change.
● Although manifestos can claim to speak for the majority,
they are often authored by social activists and usually linked
to new ideas ​(​https://www.britannica.com/topic/manifesto​).
