After learning and practicing how to identify the Line of Reasoning in an argumentative piece of writing, identify rhetorical devices and moves in an argument, search for arguments on both sides of an issue, and evaluate the credibility of sources students will: - Identify a topic of interest and research specific, published argument they want to rebut - Trace the original argument and identify its weaknesses and fallacies - Plan and write a script for a video counterargument rebutting the original source utilising rhetorical devices and credible sources - Create a video presenting their counterclaim and directly rebutting the original source's argument - Evaluate their own and each other's arguments in terms of what they "add to the conversation" around the issue
