How to Build an Argument with Argument Alice (Ep 01)?

Building an argument is like building a tower with blocks, you need to stack your ideas carefully so they don’t fall over.

Argument Alice is like a friend who loves playing games with her blocks, and she wants you to join in. To play the game, you both need facts, which are like strong, heavy blocks that won't tip easily. You also need reasons, which help explain why your facts matter, like special glue between the blocks.

1. Start with a claim, this is what you're trying to prove, like saying "I think blue is the best color."
2. Then give facts that support it, maybe you have 5 blue blocks and only 2 red ones.
3. Add reasons to explain how your facts help your claim, like saying "Blue blocks are bigger and stronger."

If you do this, your tower (or argument) will stand tall, just like Argument Alice’s! Building an argument is like building a tower with blocks, you need to stack your ideas carefully so they don’t fall over.
