Objective: I can write the counterargument/rebuttal paragraph of the argumentative essay.
BW: Random Share Out–Read aloud the homework reflections.
Activities:
- For those students who have chosen the “pro” position, use the reflection to begin your counterargument. Think of a third reason implied by your reflection for the topic sentence. If you are writing the “con” position, Mr. Opfeman and I will help.
- Continue writing the paragraph by rebutting with evidence/reasoning from The Help.
- Submit your stapled written work in this order from top to bottom: Counterargument/Rebuttal paragraph, 2nd supporting paragraph, 1st supporting paragraph, and Organizer(3 supporting paragraphs completed).
- If time allows, rewrite neatly the counterargument/rebuttal paragraph.
- Reminder: None of your drafts are permitted to leave the classroom.
