Argument
An argument is a statement of the reasons
why you believe something is right or wrong.
Claim
Counterclaim
The starting point for any argument
is a claim. The claim states your
position and lets others know what
you are trying to prove.
You can't have an argument without
opposition. The counterclaim is the
statement of the reasons people
might disagree with the claim.
On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy
delivered his famous "We Choose to Go to the Moon"
speech. This speech was his opportunity to argue for
America's participation in the space race. He had to
convince Americans that space exploration was a
worthy endeavor.
*You will see this
speech on the
exam
John F. Kennedy’s "We Choose to Go to the
Moon" speech. September 12, 1962.
Those who came before us made certain that this country
rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first
waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear
power, and this generation does not intend to founder: sink
in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to
be a part of it—we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the
world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets
beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it
governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of
freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see
space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with
instruments of knowledge and understanding.
What is the claim?
What is the main idea
of the paragraph?
John F. Kennedy’s "We Choose to Go to the
Moon" speech. September 12, 1962.
To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This
year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961,
and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight
years combined. That budget now stands at $5,400 million a
year—a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay
for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will
soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to
more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in
the United States, for we have given this program a high
national priority—even though I realize that this is in some
measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know
what benefits await us.
What is the counterclaim?
John F. Kennedy’s "We Choose to Go to the
Moon" speech. September 12, 1962.
If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything,
it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is
determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of
space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is
one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which
expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay
behind in the race for space.
What is Kennedy’s
point of view?
John F. Kennedy’s "We Choose to Go to the
Moon" speech. September 12, 1962.
I do not say that we should or will go unprotected
against the hostile misuse of space any more than
we go unprotected against the hostile use of land
or sea, but I do say that space can be explored
and mastered without feeding the fires of war,
without repeating the mistakes that man has made
in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
What is a synonym for “writ” as
it is used in this context?

what they drink.

should be able to decide what you drink.

Both the claim and
counterclaim are
restated in this thesis
statement
Consider the following claim and counterclaim
Claim: The school should adopt a “no dress
code” policy for students.
Counterclaim: Evidence shows a decline in
bullying by enforcing a dress code.
Use the claim and counterclaim to create a
thesis statement for a strong argument paper.
*Your thesis statement is one sentence that tells the reader the question you
will be answering in your writing. You must address BOTH the claim and counterclaim in your
thesis statement.
Claim: The school should adopt a “no dress code” policy for students.
Counterclaim: Evidence shows a decline in bullying by enforcing a dress code.
