Opinions usually fall into three types: Value, Policy and Fact.
Our opinion is the basis for the argument so by catergorizing them into one of the three types, you can start to build a foundation for your debate.
VALUE: One thing is better than another (A is better than B)
ex.) Spring is better than fall.
POLICY: Rules, regulations or laws that should or should not be implemented. (A should/should not do B)
ex.) The government should increase spending on health care.
FACT: Something that is or is not true. (A is/is not true)
ex.) Rainy weather causes more automobile accidents.
Depending on what category your opinion falls under, you can proceed with the next stage of explaining your opinion.
