Read the claim and reason.
how can the rebuttal best address the counterclaim?
beginning in high school, students should earn their own
money by finding after-school employment. an after-school
job serves not only as income, but as valuable experience
for when students leave school for the workforce.
read the counterclaim and reason.
while having a source of income can certainly be a
learning experience for high school students, they should
maintain their focus on academics and extracurricular
activities. working after school, many experts agree, can
lead to a decrease in school success, which can then limit
students' options when they enter the workforce.
the rebuttal should include examples of jobs that are
available to students and the problems associated with
those jobs.
the rebuttal should acknowledge that school remains a
priority and discuss the benefits of a balance between
school and work.
the rebuttal should address the need for a discussion
on the matter by restating both points before reaching a
conclusion
the rebuttal should state a logical explanation for both
opinions before granting credibility to the need for school
to remain a priority.
