How to

How to use a flowchart template.

  1. 01Identify the main claim or conclusion

    Start by defining the central argument or thesis you want to analyze or present. This will be the root node of your flowchart.

  2. 02List supporting reasons and evidence

    Add nodes for each premise or piece of evidence that supports your main claim. Connect them with arrows pointing to the conclusion.

  3. 03Add counterarguments and objections

    Include nodes for potential objections or opposing viewpoints. Connect them to the relevant parts of your argument to show rebuttals or weaknesses.

  4. 04Organize the flowchart logically

    Arrange the nodes in a hierarchical or radial layout to make the flow of reasoning clear. Use colors or labels to distinguish between types of nodes (e.g., premise, objection, rebuttal).

  5. 05Review and refine

    Check that every claim is supported and that the flowchart accurately represents the argument. Adjust connections and add missing elements as needed.
