Using sample defense transcripts, teacher modeling, and students’ own source analysis logs, the class studies strong oral argument moves: concise claim statements, warrant explanations, fair concessions, and evidence-based rebuttals. Students build a 6-card speaking set with one claim card, three evidence cards, one counterargument card, and one concession/rebuttal card they will use in later rehearsals.
