7.Concrete Detail/Evidence
8. Explanation/Elaboration
9. Counterclaim
10. Concrete Detail/Evidence
11. Rebuttal/Refute Counterclaim 12. Conclusion

2) add a rebuttal and make sure you think of all possible counter arguments

3) never say “I think” as it makes you seem unsure, never go against your own claim, never pick a counterclaim that you can’t refute

4) Teenagers should not be allowed to vote in presidential elections at the age of 16 as they are not fully mature yet and don’t have the experience needed to make that decision.

Do the counterclaim yourself with the info I gave you :) good luck
