A talking point in debate or
discourse is a succinct
statement designed to support persuasively one side taken on an issue. Such
statements can either be free standing or created as retorts to the
opposition's talking points and are frequently used in public relations,
particularly in areas heavy in debate such as politics and marketing: Wikipedia
In class, we use talking points to
organize the discussion of articles, books, movies and other materials. Talking
points might be:
·
A
point that key to support the author´s thesis statement
·
A
point that is a subject of debate
·
A
point that is a question to the author, either for clarification or for
disagreement
·
A
point that is meaningful, challenging or puzzling to the reader
·
A
question for clarification
