  • Learn how to strengthen your argumentative writing with a counterargument and rebuttal. Topics include: the purpose of a counterargument, definitions of ethos, logos, and pathos, how to rebut a strong counterargument, and a few transitions you can use to precede your counterargument. Counterclaim is a synonymous term. This technique can also help you NOT be an Internet troll.
    Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is cited as an exemplar.

    Your videos are most valuable to me because it provides very useful information for how I could make a counterargument or how not to be a "Straw man". Some information is useful such as Rebuttal, Transition etc. Thanks for the Informational video!

      Hey. You could have used a semicolon there. Semicolons connect two equally important thoughts. Instead of "Excellent explanation! Outstanding," you could say "Excellent explanation; outstanding!" 😃👍 (Btw, I'm a science major that's turning into an English enthusiast. 😭No!)

    I am SOOOOOOOO happy I found your videos! I am planning my curriculum for this upcoming school year and I have decided to use your videos as introductions to new concepts. (I plan on using this video to teach my 9th graders how to write an argumentative essay because they never quite get the counterargument part right.) I love the quality of your videos and they are just perfect for me to implement them to many of my lesson plans. I have already subscribed! Please, keep doing what you're doing because you're doing a great job. :)

    I also liked that you listed the sources, because most people just randomly use a bunch of pictures that are not their's and use it in a video, which is plagiarism.

      That sounds like something by Rimbaud. Or maybe an anagrammed sentence.

    U don’t have an outline for this ? Do we show the counter argument in the introduction paragraph?

    • @mistersato411
      @mistersato411  Před 4 lety

      Yeah, that's one good place for a counterargument. Another is after your last supporting argument, right before your conclusion.
