Counterclaim--Altering Clocks

Question 1

Essay

Write a counterclaim paragraph for the following prompt:

Writing Prompt: Writing Prompt: “My sleepy brain loves the sound of permanent daylight savings. But do scientists agree?” and “Here Comes the Sun! Tips to Adapt to Daylight Saving Time” explain the impact of daylight saving time on the public. Type a multi-paragraph essay arguing whether the practice of altering clocks twice a year is a good or bad idea.

Remember, a counterclaim must first address the other side--the side you don't agree with. Then provide evidence from the passage that supports the other side. Then, you must transition and refute the other side--prove it wrong with evidence from your side. Fully refute the other side's argument using your own logic and reasoning.
