Would You Rather Part 6...

Dear students,

As I read your posts from yesterday, I noticed a lack of editing. Be sure to do your best writing.

As a reminder, for your final blog posts, you will write a persuasive paragraph in a series called "Would You Rather." In each post, I will give you a scenario, and you will have to defend your answer using the following criteria:

  • topic sentence stating your opinion
  • At least 3 supporting sentences defending your opinion
  • A concluding sentence summarizing your writing

Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:

Would you rather always have to say everything on your mind or never speak again?

Please remember to check for mistakes by reading aloud your post to yourself before you publish it. I cannot wait to see what you write!

Your teacher,
Ms. B :)

  2. I would never talk again. You could write it on paper. My mouth would get tired. I could express more emotion bye doing something but they wouldn't know. I wouldn't want to say everything I think because sometimes my parents wouldn't know how much candy I had. No one would know what I am doing inside my brain or what I'm thinking of. I could use hand signals instead of talking especially for hide and seek tag. That is why I would never talk again.

  3. If I had to choose between saying everything in my head or never speak again, I would choose never speaking again because you could just right everything down on a piece of paper. Also no one is a mind reader so they would not know what you are thinking. Lastly, It would give all your other senses I little kick, so all your other senses would be stronger than ever. I think it is better to never talk again than to say everything in your head.

  4. I would never talk again because if you were thinking about something you don't want people to know you wouldn't say it instead of blurting it out like you would if you said everything on your mind. Also it would be less CHAOTIC. That is why I would rather never talk again.

  5. If I had to choose between saying everything that is on my mind or never speak again, I would have to choose to never speak again.
    My reasons:
    I think I should never speak again because some things that I think aren't completely nice. And if you never spoke again you would never be asked to be quiet ever again. You wouldn't get in trouble either. But it would be kind of lonely because no one would ever talk to you because they knew that you wouldn't get to talk to them. That way you can hear yourself think. And when one of your friends asks you a personal question, you don't have to answer.

    I would rather never speak again than have to say every thing on my mind. If you said every thing on your mind it would be annoying and really loud. Also your voice would start to hurt after a while. Also you probably wouldn't be able go to sleep. Basically it would be a loud and noisy world if you had to say every thing that is on your mind.

  7. If I had the choice to say everything on my mind or never speak again, I would never speak again. Some things that you think are personal. Also if you were kidnapped or about to lie or something, you would SAY it. And what if you just start blurting out your darkest secrets! Now THAT would be so embarrassing! Those are the reasons I would want to never speak again.

  8. If I had the choice of never speak again or say whats on your mind. I would choose never say anything again because some stuff on my mind can really hurt some ones feelings if I said any thing on my mind, like if some one is saying something boring I would have to say whats on my mind I would get in big trouble. Also, if I said every thing that was on my mind I could be so embarrassed if I said any thing about my personal life. That is why i would rather never speak again rather than say every thing that was on my mind.

    I would rather never say anything again. Because if I said everything, then I would just blurt out the answers. Also I would be talking nonstop because i'm always thinking of something. And my last reason Is that I would blurt out things that people don't like, then they wouldn't like me.
    I would rather never say anything again.

  10. If I had a choice between never talking again and saying everything on my mind I would say everything on my mind. First of all if you could not talk ever again you could be in danger and not be able to tell anyone. Second saying everything is sometimes not a bad thing for example, there could be something going on in your life. Third if you could not talk you could never call anyone and you could never talk to your parents or to your friends. I would rather say everything on my mind than never talk again.

  11. I'd rather say every thing on my mind instead of never speaking again.
    Reason 1: I would be honest.
    Reason 2: I would still be able to talk.
    Reason 3: I would never have to say a lie.
    That is why I'd rather say every thing on my mind instead of never speaking again.

  12. I would rather say every thing on my mind than to never speak again.I would say every thing because all my thoughts are good. I love to talk so that will be good. You may not always have somthing om your mind. So over all saying every thing on your mind is better that to never speak again.

    If I had to choose between never speaking again, or say everything on my mind for the rest of my life, I would choose never speak again. My first reason is, you could ruin your life because you could say something mean in front of someone's face and you wouldn't be able to stop yourself. My second reason is, if you could never speak again you wouldn't have to answer the questions at school that you wouldn't want to answer. My last reason is, that your friends could talk for you. That is why I chose to never talk again.

  15. If I could choose to say every thing on my mind or never speak again. I would choose to say every thing on my mind out loud. I would choose that because I don't think I could go without talking. Also because if I needed to talk to someone I could just think it and they would know what i'm saying. Lastly I would choose that because if I choose to never talk again then life would be boring.

  16. If I had to choose between never talking again or having to say everything on my mind aloud. I would never talk again. Here are some reasons why.
    1.) When you dream during your sleep time, you can not talk.(except for when you can sleep walk)
    2.) I could just write everything down or just do some sign language.
    3.) If you say something something bad aloud about a gossip, you would get in big trouble.
    That is why I would choose to never talk again instead of having to say everything aloud that I start thinking of.

  17. If I had a choice between never speaking again or saying everything I think I would choose never to speak again. Reason one: I could still just write what I need to say. Reason two: if I thought something mean about some one and I said everything I thought then they would get mad at me. Reason three: if I were held hostage and was thinking of a way to get out then the person who was holding me hostage would hear what I was thinking if I could say what I was thinking. That's why I chose not talking!

  18. I would rather say what is on my mind than never talk again.
    Reason 1. Because what if someone did not know that you cannot talk, and they get mad.
    Reason 2. It's also very nice to say what is on your mind than keep it in.
    Reason 3. Because if you can’t talk than that means you can’t sing either.
    Reason 4. If you can’t talk than how would you work with a partner.
    Reason 5. What if you were being kidnapped then you can’t scream for help!!!
    That is why I would rather say what is on my mind then never talk again!

  19. I would rather say everything in my mind than never speak again because...

    Reason one- I could send telepathic messages to people so there would be more quite.

    Reason two- You wouldn't get strep, or hurt your lung.

    Reason three- If someone holds you hostage, you can't tell them anything

    Those are three reasons why you would say everything in your mind.

    The
    End

  20. I would rather never speck again than say everything that is on your mind because what if you did not like someone and he was right next to you and you said that you did not like him. The second reason why is because if you were supposed to be quite and you started to talk. The last reason why is because if someone was sleeping and you started to talk and you woke him or her up. And that's the reason why I would pick never speck again than say everything on your mind.

  21. I would rather never speak again than always speak what I'm thinking because if you had somthing personal you were thinking about, you would not want people to know what you are thinking. And if people ask you where somthing is, you would probably say where it is in your head and they would here it. And if you were playing hide and seek, you would think where to hide and the person whos it would know where you are going to hide. That is why I would rather not speak again than say everything you think.

    If I had the choice to never speak again, or if I had the choice to say everything on my mind. I would never speak again because you could say really mean things if you said everything on your mind. Also, I would never speak again because sometimes there is some things that you would want to say, but sometimes you just need to keep some things to your self. Also, there is a saying if you can't say anything nice just don't say anything at all, and you would have a really really hard time doing that if you would always say what's on you mind. I would never stop talking if I would say anything on your mind because you are always thinking of something, and if you never stop talking you would never let the other person talk because you would always be way to busy talking. Also, if you always said things that were on your mind, and it was about a family problem, and your family might not want you to tell other people about it, and you would because you would be saying it out loud because you would say everything on your mind. Another thing is that you could even say something really bad or embarrassing about yourself. If I had the choice to never speak again, or if I had the choice to say everything that was on my mind. I would never speak again because you could say something really mean about a person, and you could say bad things you don't like about them.

  23. If I had to choose from never speaking again or saying everything in my mind, I would probably choose to say everything in my mind I would choose that because I don't think that I could go without talking. Also I could still talk, but I would just say it in my mind. Also if I never spoke again then I would not be able to tell someone something that they might really need to know. Finally, If I never talked I could not do a lot of things like be in plays and have a speaking part, or I could never do flag at my school, lots of reasons. That is why I would rather say everything in my mind other than never saying anything ever again.

  24. If I had to choose to either say everything on my mind or never speak again, I would choose to say everything on my mind. I would choose to say everything on my mind out loud instead of never speaking again because even if I had to say what's on my mind or not speak at all, at least I can still talk. Another reason why I would rather say everything on my mind instead of never being able to speak again is because if I wasn't able to talk, for example I would't be able to tell people what I want for lunch or I would never be able to tell my mom or my friends something. The last reason why I would rather say everything on my mind instead of never being able to speak again is if I wasn't able to ever speak again then I would never get to state my opinion on things or be able to have the friend I want to have over because I wouldn't be able to tell my mom. That's why I would rather say everything on my mind instead of never being able to speak again.

  25. If I had the choice of say what ever comes to my head or never talk again I would choose never talk again. My reasons are ...
    1) You could accidentally say something hurtful.
    2) You could always write what you want to say on some type of writing materiel.
    3)You would never get a sour throat or lose your voice again.
    I would rather never talk again than say what ever comes to my head.

  26. I am to choose between to say everything in my mind (it would be heard out loud) or to never speak again. I would like to choose to never speak again because you can write everything on paper or program a computer to say what you type at times. Plus, a bonus for being on this side is that if you think something bad then everyone and everything will hear it, you don't want that happen. You are always thinking something and it could be embarrassing to say, or in that case, THINK! You might be thinking of the right answer to a test but, everyone will hear it and will then know the answer. You might even be lucky enough for someone to teach you sine language. You could be able to also communicate with others at home and at school, better. Not speaking anymore, I think would be kind of fun.

  27. If I had the choice to never speak again or to say every thing I spoke then I would choose to never speak again.
    # 1: If I thought something mean about someone, then that would be bad and they would not like me.
    # 2 : I could learn sign language or write on a piece of paper to communicate.
    # 3: If I said every thing I thought then I might think of something I don't want anyone to know.
    # 4 : If I thought of anything naughty I did then I would get in trouble.
    That is why I would rather never speak again than say everything I thought.

  28. If I were to choose to say everything on my mind or never say anything again I would never say anything again because what if you were thinking of something embarrassing, or what if you were dreaming you would have to say that, and people wouldn't want to be around you because you would talk so much. That is why I would never talk again over say everything on my mind.

  29. I would rather say what is on my mind rather than never speak again because if there was an emergency and I couldn't talk than nobody will know what happened. Also because you couldn't play sports. In sports, on defence, you half to talk to eachother to tell them where the ball is. If you can't talk than you won't be able to play sports. Lastly because you couldn't talk to anybody. If you were getting bullied and you needed to tell the teachers you couldn't. I would rather speak what is on my mind rather than never speaking again.

  30. I would rather never speak again because...
    If I said something from my mind that was mean about someone it would be bad.

    And I wo.uldn't let my mind control my words.
    That is why I rather never speak again

  31. I would rather never talk again because if I said every thing that was on my mind I would probably have no friends and my world would just be crazy. Also they are making device that you can text though. Another reason is I would really miss not talking but I rather never say something than say everything because what is in my mind should stay in my.also if I did say everything my voice would start to hurt. That is why I would rather never talk again!
