Create 5 argument statements
Choose 5 things off your list and turn them into debatable
statements – something we could argue with.
For example: Something I did this summer:
This summer I went to Florida and spent 5 days at the beach.
Debatable statement: The most relaxing vacation is a beach vacation.

Argument is more than offering up an opinion!
Argumentation is a lens through
which we flourish as intellectuals.
