The most commonly cited advantage of distance learning
is the flexibility and accessibility it offers. Rather than being
required to travel to a specific location every week), students can
participate from anywhere with an internet connection. However,
distance learning presents its own accessibility challenges; not all
students have a stable internet connection and a computer or
other device with which to participate in online classes, and less
technologically literate students and teachers may struggle with
the technical aspects of class participation.

21. Techniques in Developing
Argumentative Claims
1.Definition
This technique makes use of meaning or
several meanings to a concept that forms
your argument. For example, you want to
write about prejudice about people’s colors or
colorism.
Ex. Colorism is a form of discrimination
based on a person’s skin color. People tend
to favor individuals with fair skin than those
with black skin.

22. Techniques in Developing
Argumentative Claims
1.Analysis
This technique is done by taking a part
from the whole and scrutinizes it to prove a
point.
Ex. A person’s preference in choosing
friends depends on the extent of
belongingness one feels in the company of
peers. A girl can have more male friends
than females because she may feel more
comfortable with the opposite gender. Guys
may also feel the same

23. What is an Argument?
a reason or set of reasons
given with the aim
of persuading others that
an action or idea is right
or wrong.

24. • an argument with rules
• two teams present a resolution (sometimes
called a proposition) or topic that they will
debate
• Timed arguments
• One team is for the resolution (PRO or
affirmative) and the other team is
(AGAINST or negative)
• a judge decides at the end of the debate
who is the winner (based on point system)

debate
1. CONSTRUCTIVE SPEECH

26. 1. CONSTRUCTIVE SPEECH
• Begins with BIRT (Be it resolved that…)
• States 3 or 4 supporting points first
• Then elaborates on each one
• Plan your strategy (for e.g., go from
strongest to weakest)
• Recap at the end

27. 2. CROSS-EXAMINATION
• Most difficult part
• Thinking on your feet
• Question the validity of your
opponents' constructive speech by source,
date, relevance
• Show their weakest points
• Question them aggressively
• Start with general questions then get
really specific
• Undermine the evidence

28. 3. REBUTTAL
• Designed to argue the case made
• It's your time to point out the
inconsistences, absurdities, and illogical
argurments of your opponents.
• Provides the opportunity for speakers to
critique their opponents' arguments
• Absolutely no new evidence may be
presented during this time
• It's time to do some final damage here
