- A topic sentence stating your opinion
- At least 3 supporting sentences defending your opinion
- One counter argument
- A concluding sentence summarizing your writing
Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:

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 :)
P.S.-Here is my example:
If I had the choice to have a 3-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a 3-day weekend every week. If I had a 3-day weekend instead of 2 days, I would get a lot more done! In addition, I would not have to work as much, and I could spend more time working out, shopping, reading, relaxing, and hanging out with my friends. Plus, I would not feel so rushed on my weekends. I could even go out of town for long weekends and visit family and friends! However, some may prefer an extra month of summer vacation because they could take longer trips. I think the benefits of longer weekends out weigh the benefits of an extra month of summer. I prefer having a 3-day weekend rather than having another month of summer vacation.
Would rather be a giant Hamster rather than a tiny Rhino. I would do that because I think hamsters are more cuddly and people treat it much better. My last reason is that Rhinos live in a zoo and do not get treated very well compared to a Hamster living in a house. Some may argue that being a tiny Rhino is better than giant Hamster because if some other animal was trying to eat you, you would get away easirer because your smaller and more dangerous. But since I am a Hamster I would probley live in a giant cage or somebodys house.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice of being a giant hamster or a tiny rhino I would rather be a giant hamster. For example I could scare people with all of my fluff they would think i was a giant fluffy cat. Also when I was going to bed i wouldn't have to put covers on because I would be so warm. Lastly I could see people that looked like ants and step on them. Although I would like to be a giant hamster some may argue that being a tiny rhino because they could escape from spies. I think being a giant rhino would be better than being a tiny rhino. Thank you good people.
