The 4-Step Rebuttal 1. They Say You repeat what the other team said during their opening statement Practice shortening the quote from the other team 2. But Your transition word (you could use something other than but like “however” for example) You clearly state your counter argument here. “But I disagree…” 3. Because This is your reasoning It can be support for your counterargument or it could be a criticism of your opponents idea 4. Therefore You compare your opinion to your opponents and discuss why yours defeats theirs This is a critical skill for debate Your argument could be: better reasoned, better evidenced, has more importance or experience
