Winter Quarter Assignment #3: Counterargument

Reproducing the exact text of your assigned passage is the only easy part of the counterargument assignment. Interpreting, evaluating, and responding are all difficult.

 To get started and stay on track with this difficult assignment and to qualify for a valuable individual conference, attend a  LARC Writing Workshop for Humanities Core.

 To prepare for your workshop, look over this helpful, easy to understand model counterargument essay based on a letter-to-the-editor from The LA Times. The Times text may be easier to analyze than your passage will be, but all the necessary steps are there in this brief model essay.
