Visit the site, Paradigm Online Writing Assistant. Read the section on “Anticipating Opposition.” In your initial post, list at least four positive and four potentially negative aspects of your argument. “Negative” simply means that your argument is likely to be challenged or has already been challenged by other people in your major or field of study.
