TEXAS Paragraph

Counterargument

How do you introduce a counter argument in an essay?

You introduce this “turn against” with a phrase like

One might object here that... or It might seem that... or It's true that... or Admittedly,... or Of course,... or with an anticipated challenging question: But how...? or But why...? or But isn't this just...? or But if this is so, what about...? However...

Counter argument

• Identify the opposing argument.
  
• Respond to it by discussing the reasons the   argument is incomplete, weak, unsound, or   illogical.
  
• Provide examples or evidence to show why the opposing argument is unsound, or provide explanations of how the opposing argument is incomplete or illogical.
  

Counter argument 

• Close by stating your own argument and why your argument is stronger than the identified counterargument.

Counterargument example

Some may believe that texting while driving with hands free devices is the answer to a ban on texting. However, it has been proven that it is not the actual process of texting while driving that distracts the driver.
