Due Today:
Counterclaims: Today we learned about counterclaims! As a class we went over what a counterclaim is and how to write one. A counterclaim is the opposite side's stance on a issue. We include counterclaims in our essays because it strengthens them. Addressing counterclaims shows readers that we are critical thinkers and know how to research and find evidence before choosing a side. After we went over the notes, we put our knowledge of claims and counterclaims to the test by participating in a Kahoot! The rest of time we worked on our outlines for our essays.
Homework: Reading and Introduction section on the outlines
