@sammixboo

Answer 8

Ok. Give me a second to read it. Did your teacher say anything that you did wrong?

Answer 9

yea let me tell you what my teacher said!
You have a very good start to your planning for your argument. Your claim will not include reasons - it will just state your position. The reasons will be supported by facts/evidences from authoritative sources. You won't include opinions - not your own or those of others as part of reasons or as part of your supporting evidences. Your argument will be strong because it will be based upon facts! The rebuttal will be another reason for your claim - but directed at the counter claim.

With just a bit of revision/editing, this will be really wonderful!

Answer 10

OK, so she is saying your reasons are more like opinions.

When I read your reasons, I see that you put WHY the reader would agree. When you put your reasons, you need to put why tenagers SHOULD be able to play dangerous sports.

Answer 11

oh ok....

Answer 12

can you help me out with that please..

Answer 13

Yes. In your claim you stated your two reasons.

1 - teaches them how to encounter physical risks
2 - teaches safety precautions

In your reason boxes, you should go into more detail with those reasons you provided in your claim

Answer 14

ok i dont really know what else to write though :( i need help writing

Answer 15

Here is what you can put for reason 1

"Allowing teenagers to play dangerous sports can teach them how to encounter physical risks that they would not be prepared for in the future."

Pretty much I reworded what you put for reason 1 in your claim. In your evidence you can give details on HOW it can teach them

Answer 16

Answer 17

You can do that as well

Answer 18

Answer 19

ok so thats for the claim box... and what about reason 2?

Answer 20

Look at what you put for reason 2 in your claim

Answer 21

Try to reword that for the Reason 2 box

Answer 22

i dont know what to write! im out of ideas :(

Answer 23

Answer 24

@sammixboo

Answer 25

i reworded your claim because your teacher siad no reasons in a claim

Answer 26

Claim:You’re sitting in the stands, watching your child play football, when suddenly another player swings in from your child’s blindside for a devastating hit to the head. Later in the emergency room, the doctor gives you the dreaded news: your child has a concussion. This injury and many others make parents wonder, ‘should my teen be playing dangerous sports?’To me, the answer is easy; yes, parents should let their teens play. The benefits outweigh the risks of letting your child play.’


Counterclaim:Children are still growing and they can be injured easier than what adults can. It has been shown that being repeatedly hit in sports can lead to brain damage or worse. Children should not be subjected to such activities. If people want to engage in dangerous behaviors, they must be adults and be mature.

Answer 28

hold on..

Answer 29

@sammixboo ?/

Answer 30

Reason 1:Allowing teenagers to play dangerous sports can teach them how to encounter physical risks that they would not be prepared for in the future.

Evidence: Teens need the physical risk during teen development, as a mean to educate children how to handle physical threats they may encounter later in life. A teen lacking physical risk could result in an inability to properly assess future physical risks. Along with this problem, the same teen will likely have difficulty finding the physical courage. Having said this, the physical risks that I am referring to are those within sports and they go beyond what is necessary to achieve the reason above.

Answer 31

Your rebuttal is good.

Answer 32

no its not.. i have to fix that too..

Answer 33

oh ok

Answer 34

my teacher said :

The rebuttal will be another reason for your claim - but directed at the counter claim.

Answer 35

idk what that means..

Answer 36

so its like another counter claim
