For the remainder of the hour, you worked on the Lucy argument.
If you are using the "highly suggested" pre-writing steps, here are the remaining ones to complete.
1. Write a warrant for each of your evidence groupings. The warrant is the explanation of the claim and evidence or, in math terms, claim + evidence = warrant.
2. Write a counterclaim, which a secondary position for the topic. A counterclaim is not the opposite of the claim nor is it wrong. You may construct the counterclaim from scratch or choose one of the discarded claims from the initial brainstorming session.
3. List at least 3 examples of evidence for the counterclaim.
4. Write your rebuttal statement. A rebuttal exists to show how the original claim is superior to the counterclaim. A rebuttal does not "trash" the counterclaim.
5. List evidence for the rebuttal. If you have 3 evidence groupings, you can take one of these groups and use for the rebuttal evidence.
6. Write a concluding statement.
As for organization of the essay, there are several means to constructing an argument. Here are the 2 most popular.
Option 1:
Paragraph 1: Hook/claim
Paragraph 2: Body Paragraph Evidence Grouping 1
Paragraph 3: Body Paragraph Evidence Grouping 2
Paragraph 4: Counterclaim
Paragraph 5: Rebuttal (possible incorporation of evidence grouping 3)
Paragraph 6: Conclusion
Option 2:
Paragraph 1: Hook/claim
Paragraph 2: Body Paragraph for Evidence Grouping 1
Paragraph 3: Body Paragraph for Evidence Grouping 2
Paragraph 4 (or more): Counterclaim evidence 1 with Rebuttal evidence 1
Counterclaim evidence 2 with Rebuttal evidence 2
Counterclaim evidence 3 with Rebuttal evidence 3
Last Paragraph: Conclusion
The deadline for Ms. Lucy will be Friday, December 18, at 11:00 a.m. in hard copy only.
