Module 5 Assignment: Researched Rebuttal Argument Essay

Instructions

oYour topic should be a specific person’s or organization’s position on an issue that affects you because of some aspect of your identity.

oFor example, if farming is important to your identity, you might choose to write a letter to Michael Bennet arguing that the 2014 Farm Bill that he helped create should be repealed.

2.Pre-Write: What is your opposition’s position on this topic? Explore their perspective. What are their main claims and arguments? Why do they think the way they do about the issue? What is at stake for them? What common ground do you have between your perspectives? What kinds of evidence can you use to refute their positions and arguments? How can you make them understand your perspective?

3.Write: Write a letter to your opposition. Craft a letter to your specific person or organization, and refute their arguments.

oIntroduction: Directly address your audience (your opposition). Explain the controversy, as you understand it. Establish common ground between your perspectives. End with a thesis that states your position.

oCounterargument: Examine your opposition’s main arguments one at a time, and refute them. Directly address their claims and positions on the issue, and then argue against those claims. Give direct support for your rebuttal arguments.

oConclusion: Synthesize your main arguments. Re-establish common ground, and let your reader know what you want them to do, think, or feel after reading your essay. What are your reader’s next steps?

4.Tips for Success:
