Please take out a sheet of paper… • Set up the paper for Cornell Notes and Title it: EVALUATING ARGUMENTS NOTES • Essential Question: How can I determine if an argument is valid?

• Argument: (1) a spoken, written, or visual text that expresses a point of view; (2) the use of evidence and reason to discover some version of the truth, as distinct from persuasion, the attempt to change someone else’s point of view

• Claim: a statement that asserts a belief or truth. In arguments, most claims require supporting evidence

• Evidence: Facts used to support your argument and claim • Reasoning: Explanation of how the Evidence supports and furthers your argument and claim

• A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves" in the construction of an argument. A fallacious argument may be deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is.

• False statement: a statement deemed to be untrue according to the context in which it is presented
