Description
we are starting to work with Counterargument and refutation or what They Say/I Say calls planting a naysayer in the text. Please refer back to the Counterargument Powerpoint or that chapter for guidance while working on the following two worksheets for this week.
First, please fill out the following practice worksheet.

COUNTER ARGUMENT & REFUTATION
What’s a Counter Argument?
It is when you recognize the other side of the debate in order to strengthen your own
argument.In other words, it’s the thesis making the OPPOSITE (aka: counter) point.
What’s a Refutation?
Refute means to prove wrong.
Refutations saying why the counter argument is wrong (or not as right as your thesis).
Sample Counter Argument and Refutation
Argument:Human Trafficking is a major problem in the world today. We can all help to end this
problem by avoiding the purchase of products made by slaves. Citizens should exclusively purchase
fair-trade chocolate and boycott all chocolate producers that cannot guarantee their products are
slave-free.
Counter-argument: One person is not enough to make a difference. Changing my personal
purchasing habits will not be enough to affect the profits of major companies. Thus, there is no
reason for me to pay more for my chocolate since it won’t make a difference.
Refutation: While it is true that one individual alone will only have a minor impact on the profits of
major chocolate companies, we should never underestimate the power of an individual. Your
purchases make only a small difference, but they still make a difference. Furthermore, we cannot
forget the impact our actions have on others. Your dedication to becoming part of the solution will
inspire others to do the same. Together we can make a difference. But before we can become a
group, we must be dedicated individuals. As Margaret Mead once said: “Never doubt that a small
group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever
has.”
