Text structure refers to how the information within a written text is organized. This strategy helps students understand that a text might present a main idea and details; a cause and then its effects; and/or different views of a topic.
Explanation:
You can write a good rebuttal by addressing the other side's argument and then write your counterclaim.
Ex:
Thesis: Banning SeaLand is necessary because of its unethical treatment of animals.
Many SeaLand proponents believe that the theme park benefits animals because it provides millions of dollars to wildlife foundations. However, what they don’t tell the public is that these wildlife foundations are actually organizations that funnel the money back into SeaLand—so actually, SeaLand appears to be donating charity, but it is actually simply donating to itself.

When writing a paper you should try to avoid passive voice. It is hard not to use passive voice at times. If you can just keep the usage at a minimum in your papers. Being in college I have not had a problem with English teachers (a really hard teacher my first and third semester) deducting points from my paper when using passive voice. What I do is put my paper through Grammarly just to see what kind of errors I have in my paper and fix them. If you have an account with Grammarly they will show you where you made mistakes but because I don't I had to find where my mistakes were. It is a very helpful website. Hopefully I helped.
