Questions about the Building an Argument poster

What’s on the Building an Argument poster?

5 numbered steps. An argument is not an opinion loudly stated. It is a claim with support and an answer to the other side. CLAIM — Your position, in one arguable sentence.; EVIDENCE — Facts, data or quotations. Cite where they came from.; REASONING — Explain how the evidence supports the claim. Do not assume it is obvious.; COUNTERCLAIM — State the strongest objection fairly, not a weak version of it.; REBUTTAL — Explain why the objection does not defeat your claim.. If nobody could reasonably disagree with your claim, it is a fact, not an argument.
