Decoding the Anatomy of Debate: slide deck walkthrough

Section role: supports the 'Decoding the Anatomy of Debate' section while the teacher brings the class back together to formalize the concepts discovered during the smartphone ban simulation. Slides: (1) Title — 'Decoding the Anatomy of Debate'; (2) The Core Elements — bullets defining Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning; (3) Strong vs. Weak Evidence — comparison of a vague assertion versus a concrete statistic; (4) The Anatomy of a Rebuttal — explaining that a rebuttal requires evidence, not just 'you're wrong'; (5) Delivery and Style — tips on tone, pacing, and presence; (6) Closing slide — 'Which component of an argument was hardest to build in your simulation?' — sets up the individual practice in the Argument Architect section.
