so i pulled aside a student who got A on his paper, and asked him how to do it. he showed me his paper, and explain to me how i can improve my arguments. what happened was i would not address any ideas that would counter the point i was trying to argue in my paper, i thought if i even brought them up, it would weaken my argument. the 'A paper student' told me that by not bring up the opposing points, it didn't mean those points did not exist. and that the best thing to do is to acknowledge those points, and then point out why they are not valid points.
then my grade finally improved once i started doing that.  |
Good for you!!
You will get a kick out of this one. My brother was late getting home from school and when he came in my Dad said "Why are you Late" and he said I had to stay after for talking" and "I wasn't talking" So Dad says "chack it up for all the times the teacher missed catching you when you were."
You can see i had some good lines to use on my kids.
