– enumerated examples of disagreeing templates provide more clarity for students:
– Counterpoint indicating the relevant factors overlooked.
– Demonstrating a viewpoint depends on questionable assumptions.
– Highlighting flaws in logic or contradictions.
– Variations of disagreeing structures can cater to different writing contexts, such as using the ‘duh’ move, which acknowledges the obviousness of an argument, indicating that an alternative perspective can be explored.
