Lesson 4 Refutation & Rebuttal Practice Homework: • Revise and polish your rebuttal paragraph for tomorrow’s “Building Arguments” peer workshop. • Come prepared with your three sources from Lesson 3.

This resource focuses on the essential skills of refutation and rebuttal in effective argumentation. It introduces key terms such as refutation, rebuttal, counterargument, and concession, providing a clear structure for developing a rebuttal paragraph. The document outlines the steps to identify a counterargument, acknowledge its merits, present a rebuttal, support it with evidence, and reinforce the main argument. Additionally, it includes a practice exercise for identifying components of a rebuttal and encourages students to develop their own rebuttal paragraphs based on previous lessons. Reflection questions are provided to help students assess their rebuttal's effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.
