Question

What is a claim and what is a counter claim someone please help me!!! D:

Answer 1

A counter claim is used to counter a previous argument...
Say, the first argument claims that we need more state parks, while the counter claim argues that we do not need more state parks.

Answer 2

Don't understand much. :P

Answer 3

Okay. So there's the first argument, then there's the second argument that is against that, okay?

Answer 10

Okay, so what is your first claim?

Answer 11

Well i have to tell if teens should be allowed to play sports?

Answer 12

Not just sports... Dangerous sports. :p

Answer 13

Well one reason they should play sports is cause they can get hurt

Answer 14

So you need evidence to support a claim stating that "yes, teens should be able to play dangerous sports" and a counterclaim saying "no, teens should not be able to play dangerous sports".

Answer 15

You need evidence for both.

Answer 16

Oo like the Pros and cons of playing sports?

Answer 17

Yes!! Exactly!

Answer 18

:D

Answer 19

SO counterclaim will be the cons and the pros will be the claim?

Answer 20

Yes.

Answer 21

Yeah also it says Source one and source two you have any idea why?

Answer 22

And whats rebuttal

Answer 23

It says source one and two because it wants you to provide evidence of why, so the source is where that evidence came from.

And rebuttal is a contradiction.

Answer 24

ooo ok wait for claim can i put why Why teens should be allowed to play sports And counterclaim i put Why teens shouldn't be able to play sports?

Answer 25

Yes.

Answer 26

k cool and for reason 1 i right down the reason?

Answer 27

Yep! You got it! ^.^

Answer 28

Aight! :D How about Evidence/support?

Answer 29

That's where you'll type supporting evidence to prove why that claim is better.

Answer 30

So i can type in a website or something?

Answer 31

no, that's for the source.
The evidence is something like "Dr. Sondso tells us that in his studies, teens who played dangerous sports got hurt more than those who did not."

Answer 32

ooo like i get it from a site?

Answer 33

Yes. Or a book or whatever.

Answer 34

ok now i put reason 1 Kid should be able to play sports cause there fun and reason 2 i make it from the counter claim?

Answer 35

Yeah.

Answer 36

aight whats a rebuttal again?

Answer 37

It's a contradiction.
So if reason 1 to the claim was "Kids should be able to play dangerous sports because it is fun", the rebuttal would be "Kids should not be able to play dangerous sports because they could get seriously injured."

Answer 38

The opposite or something?

Answer 39

Sort of, it's the argument against it.

Answer 40
