Concession/Rebuttal How many of you have been in a discussion with someone and you remember saying, “Yeah, that’s true, but…” This is concession/rebuttal. Let’s list several examples where this applies in your relationship with your parents or guardians.

4
C (Conceed) Tell them what you know they will say R (Right) Butter them up and tell them why they might be justified or correct A (Argue) Then turn the tables and argue why they are wrong/incorrect in their thinking and should believe you! C-R-A
5
You must have something from the “C” and from the “R” and finally from the “A”. Example: It is true that (C) school uniforms are expensive, and I know (R)that students really do not want to wear them, nevertheless (A), I feel that uniforms would help everyone feel that they belong.

Practice #1: Imagine you were trying to convince me to let you eat snacks in class. Develop a C-R-A to make a solid argument that will change my mind.

Imagine the school was considering implementing nap time. Most teachers are against it. Develop 3 concession rebuttals to present to your teacher. Make sure to have all 3 parts C-R-A and use different signal words each time.

Everyone is staying home but you as your parents are forcing you to go to school. Think of a way to use concession rebuttal to change their mind. Remember: Concede that you know their argument – butter them up and tell them why they are right – and find a way to turn that around to argue and prove you are correct (C-R-A)
