What educators are saying

Great activity for my 8th graders. This was a relatively new concept for them but this helped seal that knowledge.
My students loved this activity. I cut put the task cards and had the students move around the room playing Quiz Quiz Trade (identifying the parts of the counterclaim.) It was an solid interactive activity.

Description

In the Common Core State Standards, middle school students are being asked to write arguments where they can also formulate a counterclaim. Many students find this difficult. To help them, it is easier to teach them to recognize counterclaim before they are asked to create it.

Enclosed you will find 20 task cards. Each task card contains a paragraph that contains a claim, evidence, and counterclaim. Each paragraph is either the pro or con of 10 different engaging topics. Included you will find:
