Today in class . . . We wrote down these definitions on the assignment attached below. We also wrote examples of each part of an argument. The examples were in response to this prompt. Which grade in junior high is the best grade? Terms for Notes Argument: writing that tries to convince someone to believe the same as the writer. Claim: what the writer wants readers to believe. (A statement that can be debated.) Reasons: why the writer believes what they believe. Evidence: facts and specific examples that support the reason. Inference: the explanation of how the evidence supports the reason. Counterclaim: what someone who disagrees with the claim might say and believe. Rebuttal: evidence that proves the opposition's reason wrong. Here is an example of an argument paragraph that we looked at: Winter is the best season. I believe winter is the best season because it is the most enjoyable one. Winter is enjoyable because people can participate in unique activities. Some such outdoor activities are these: sledding, skiing, and ice skating. People also enjoy unique activities with their families during Christmas and New Year's. These activities are enjoyable and unique to winter, so winter is the best.
