After finishing up your warrant for the Honey Boo Boo claims, we read your work to the whole class for further exemplification of argumentative claims, evidence, and warrants.
An argument does not end there! Once your claim has its footing, you will need to introduce a counterclaim. A counterclaim is not the opposite of the claim; it is another position that could be a strong, evidence-based claim. Following the counterclaim, you have the rebuttal. A rebuttal is not the trashing of the counterclaim; it recognizes the counterclaim's validity and then adds supporting justification for the first claim's strength. You created counterclaim and rebuttal statements for the Boo Boo argument, and you shared these with the class.
For the rest of class, we utilized the women in the military topic by working in groups to craft the steps of argumentation writing. Thus far, we are through the brainstorming of claims, the selection of the best claim, and the accumulation of evidence. We will resume with this on Monday.
