COUNTERCLAIM TAKE 2 WORKSHEET
Mr. Bourgoin
9H English
Try to cite a line that makes the 2nd attempt for a counterclaim just a 3rd regular claim
statement.
What does the line not accomplish when looking at the counterclaim criteria?
Now take a look at your paragraph. Does your paragraph discuss a third claim from The
Odyssey, or do you try to turn an argument around like the counterclaim criteria states?
