Creating a Rebuttal
Rebuttal Outline:
•
First, state clearly the opposing argument
•
Next, make clear WHY you disagree with that
argument.
•
Finally, refute the opponent’s evidence and
explain why it does not work
•
Opponents may argue that cell phones and other
electronic devices are simply the wave of the future,
and teachers and school administrators must adjust
to this intrusion into classrooms, that in fact they are
integral to the safety of the individual student.
This is
simply a weak attempt to provide justification for the
distraction that phones and other electronic devices
cause in the learning process.
In fact, recent studies
(Bernbaum 12) suggest that phones cause a
significant disruption to a student’s focus, especially
when dealing with difficult or new concepts. Schools
need to do what is best for a student’s learning
experience while maintaining a safe environment.
Cell phones in the classroom do not effectively
accomplish that.
Tips and Tricks
•
Vary your sources within the document and within
paragraphs
•
Embed quotes and paraphrase whenever possible.
Introduce quotes. Shorten long quotes.
•
Make sure your sources support your central
argument. Don’t build your argument around your
sources.
•
When you have a great idea, use varied sources to
support that idea, even if you have a favorite source.
•
Avoid using “you” and the general “they.” Use “I”
judiciously. Try to avoid “in my opinion.”
•
Begin and end paragraphs with your own ideas.
•
Try NOT to rely too heavily on one source
•
Remember to alphabetize sources on Works Cited
page. Use hanging indent.
