Constructing an effective argument involves taking the time to consider other perspectives. With that knowledge in mind, you are able to build a more solid, effective argument. It illustrates that you have considered other voices and opinions taking place in an argument, thus making you a more credible researcher and writer. For this week’s discussion, brainstorm the most compelling counterargument that you have come across during your research and determine how you will address them in your paper (which is a requirement in the Argument Essay). As you are learning in your Realizeit module this week, there are three main parts of an opposition paragraph: A: The Concession: Graciously concede that there is another side to the argument. B: The Rebuttal: You, as the writer, decide what is weak about the other side’s argument. C: Consolidation of your Claim: State your claim again using strong support. First, Use the template below to flesh out all three sections of the opposition paragraph. Next, referring to your completed template, develop an opposition paragraph and share it with your peers as your reply. Finally, as you reply to your peers’ posts, play Devil’s Advocate and challenge classmates on their responses. Are they still leaving holes in their responses to the opposition? Are they making any generalizations? How can you further challenge them to consider or acknowledge another point of view (even if it not a view you hold yourself). Use one of the following key words or phrases to help introduce the concession: Admittedly, Granted, I agree that, I cannot argue with, It is true that, [Name of group/perspective] is right, I accept, No doubt, Of course, I concede that, Perhaps, Certainly it is the case A.
