Read the statement below and then decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the essay.

Here's your discussion
prompt:
The author addresses the counterclaims politely and in the most
effective way possible.

What do you think? Write a paragraph supporting your opinion and then write a reply
paragraph. If you're working with others, your reply paragraph should respond to the
ideas of another student. If you're working alone, your reply paragraph should
support the opposite point of view from your own.
