Counterclaim Practice<\/b><\/p>\n

Part 1 Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the questions below<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

In an argumentative paper, after the body paragraphs is a paragraph called the counterclaim paragraph. The purpose of the counterclaim is to address the opposite side of the argument and explain why that point of view is wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first sentence in a counterclaim paragraph is the counterclaim sentence. This sentence states one reason why people oppose the author\u2019s claim. The second sentence of the counterclaim paragraph is called the rebuttal sentence. \u00a0This sentence states one reason the opposing side is wrong or not strong. The third part of the counterclaim paragraph is the rebuttal evidence.The rebuttal evidence supports the counterclaim sentence by providing a quote or passage from the text. The fourth part of the counterclaim paragraph is the rebuttal elaboration. The rebuttal elaboration explains why the rebuttal evidence is important. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
