Essay 1 paragraph long

Organizing and articulating a persuasive response to the opposition of an argument Create an MLA style document. Read pp. 98-99 "Sentence Variety and Structures for Argument," specifically the "Strategies for Argument" in the Writing & Research Handbook. This will give you some sentence constructions to formulate your rebuttal. Read the Argument Outline, which contains your position in the Thesis Statement. This is what you are trying to prove. Read the 2 Counter Arguments, which show your opponent's position. Choose either Counter Argument #1 or Counter Argument #2 and write your choice as the title. Write one paragraph that includes:

A statement of the opposition's claim that makes it clear this opposition is different from your position. A rebuttal, also known as a refutation, that proves the opposition's claim to be wrong, false, or flawed. OR If you cannot provide a rebuttal, you can make a concession. A concession explains that the opposition has merit, but that your argument also has merit as well.
