8. Think-Pair-Share “Why are zero conditionals useful in argument?” Abstraction

9.   1. They Make Arguments Sound Objective Zero conditionals are based on facts or widely accepted truths. Using them can make your argument appear more rational and grounded. Example:  If you don’t water plants, they die. → This supports an argument about the importance of regular care in gardening.

10. 2. They Help Explain Cause and Effect Clearly They show what always happens when a certain condition is met, which strengthens logical reasoning. Example:  If people don’t sleep enough, they feel tired. → Useful in arguments about health, productivity, or work-life balance.

11. 3. They Support Educational or Scientific Claims Zero conditionals are ideal for backing up points with scientific or factual evidence. Example:  If you mix vinegar and baking soda, it fizzes. → Helps in discussions about chemical reactions or home experiments.

12. 4. They Are Easy to Understand The structure is simple and direct, making your argument clear and accessible to any audience. Example:  If you touch fire, it burns. → Instantly communicates risk or danger in safety-related discussions.

13. 5. They Build a Foundation for Persuasion By starting with undeniable truths, you can lead into more complex or persuasive points. Example:  If prices go up, people buy less. → Can support an argument about inflation or economic policy.

14. Speaking Task:  “Mini Argument Circle” Students form small circles. Each student presents a short argument using a zero conditional. Example:  “If people litter, the environment suffers.” Peers give feedback on clarity and logic. Application
