Maybe they've changed the format, but my teacher never said anything about dedicating a paragraph to the other side of the argument. Of course, if you can do this, and strike it down, it is a nice touch to the essay. If you present the argument, and can't soundly defeat it, omitting the paragraph completely would be the best choice.
