What is a Counterargument Paragraph?

A COUNTERARGUMENT PARAGRAPH is a paragraph in which you predict and point out the reason a person would disagree with your thesis AND you reinforce why YOUR thesis is still the best idea. It's typically the last paragraph before the conclusion.

(The mental structure is "Yes....but...NO" or "Yeah...but...still" or "Yeah...but...even better")
