1. Complete the following sentence: My claim states that... College athletes should be paid to play because college athletes are worth a lot of money and there’s a lot of college athletes that are struggling paying their bills every month. 2. Cross out "My claim states that." What remains is your clearly stated position. College athletes should be paid to play because college athletes are worth a lot of money and there’s a lot of college athletes that are struggling paying their bills every month. 3. Complete the following sentence: Some may disagree with me because... it wouldn’t be fair for the other students that attend the university who doesn’t play a sport. 4. Cross out "Some may disagree with me because." What remains is your purpose for writing. It wouldn’t be fair for the other students that attend the university who doesn’t play a sport. 5. Combine these two thoughts into one sentence; this is your counterclaim. College athletes should be paid to play because college athletes are worth a lot of money and there’s a lot of college athletes that are struggling paying their bills every month but some people may disagree because it wouldn’t be fair for the other students that attend the university who doesn’t play a sport. 6. Follow the steps outlined in the lesson to write an opening paragraph for your argument. 1. Write your claim in the space below. College athletes should be paid to play because college athletes are worth a lot of money and there’s a lot of college athletes that are struggling paying their bills every month. 2. Write your counter claim in the space below. College athletes should be paid to play because college athletes are worth a lot of money and there’s a lot of college athletes that are struggling paying their bills every month but some people may disagree because it wouldn’t be fair for the other students that attend the university who doesn’t play a sport. 3. Use the strategies you have learned for writing a strong opening paragraph to brainstorm ideas: • Hook: What can you say about the topic to grab the audience's attention? • Bridge: How can you connect the hook to the claim and counterclaim? • Bridge: How can you transition from the counterclaim to the claim? Your opening paragraph should follow this format: D. Hook E. Bridge between hook and argument topic F. Counterclaim G. Bridge between the counterclaim and claim H. Claim 4. Use your ideas to write a solid opening paragraph. Paste your opening paragraph in the space below. 5. Before submitting your worksheet, highlight or underline your claim and counterclaim in your opening paragraph so your instructor can easily identify them. [ Close ]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just going back and forth from you to my question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i NEED HELP ON #3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what do you think a good hook should be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

UMM the true facts you should know about if college athletes should be paid or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It could be as simple as "Should college athletes should be paid?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, this seems like high school to college work, am I right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct highsc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

school

OpenStudy (anonymous):

next is bridge, what do you think you should do, (and good I am in high to)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would just go with "There are some people who believe they should not be paid."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you would bring up the "It wouldn't be fair for the other students that attend the university who doesn't play a sport."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry but are you still here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes my fault im going to close it just stay in here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay i wrote the bridge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So far: Should college athletes should be paid? There are some people who believe they should not be paid. It wouldn't be fair for the other students that attend the university who doesn't play a sport.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we need a bridge from counter claim to claim, hit me with one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but how will that fit in? also when is this due, I do not want you to get in trouble for staying up to late while i am explaining little by little.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its due tonight at 10:30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay should I go little by little or just spit it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

spit it out then we discuss it so i know what it is about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should college athletes should be paid? There are some people who believe they should not be paid. It wouldn't be fair for the other students that attend the university who doesn't play a sport. But students that can handle sports and school should deserve it. College athletes should be paid to play because college athletes are worth a lot of money and there’s a lot of college athletes that are struggling paying their bills every month.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
