Sophia: Argumentative Papers: Opposing Arguments

Curated by ACT

This video lesson focuses on when and how to address opposing arguments in an argumentative paper. It begins with a warning about acknowledging opposing viewpoints and then offers a method if you choose to do so: build common ground, identify and anticipate opposing arguments, questions to consider to anticipate their arguments, ways to respond to potential objections, and signal phrases to use to incorporate both the opposing argument and your response in your writing without giving up your viewpoint.
