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:
- 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:
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 :)
I would rather never speak again. You could write things down instead of speaking. You could write on a piece of paper, fold it up into a paper airplane, and throw it to the person you want to get the note. You wouldn't know if someone was writing on paper, but you would if they were talking. The only thing is though, your hand would hurt. I would rather never speak again.
ReplyDeleteI would rather never speak again because sometimes I think hurtful things but I try my best not to say them, I don't want to hurt that person so I would rather not speak. Some people might argue because if ypu can't speak at all you can't talk about anything, not even something nice, but you know th esaying, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. On the bright side of not talking your not completely muts, you can still write on pencil and paper what you WANT to say.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to never speak again. You could learn sign language and talk that way you could also write things down. Some people may think that saying everything on your mind would be better because you could still talk. However you would have to say everything on your mind even the secret things. that is why i would never speak again.
ReplyDeleteI would rather say everything that was on my mind because when I said something that I did not want anyone else to hear I could just say "Never Mind". On the other hand some people may argue that not speaking at all is better because you could write things down. If I had to choose I would choose saying everything that was on my mind.
ReplyDeleteI would rather say that everything that is on my mind. There are many ways for me to speak like if I do not want to say something I would say NEVER MIND or BYE. Also if you are quite you will never get that something off your mind if you do not talk it out. Finally I am just being me because I love to talk and just try to help other people and just be me.
ReplyDeleteI would rather say everthing that was on my mind because i would want to say my fellings than say nothing. if i had to choose i would choose i would say what is on my mind
ReplyDeleteIf I could either never speak again or say everything on my mind I would choose to never speak again. I would choose that because I would hurt everyone's feelings. Also, not many people listen to me anyway. Finally I wouldn't tell anybody secrets. However some people may argue that it is better to say everything on your mind because you couldn't tell anybody anything. I still think it is better to never talk again because I can write stuff to people. #loophole ;>0 That is why I think it is better to never speak again.
ReplyDeleteI would rather say everything that was on my mind because I like to talk and I'm a serious chatter box, I love talking to my friends, and my mind is always filled with something to say I just can't stop in fact i'm talking in my head now.
ReplyDeleteI would rather never speak again. First, some people that do sign language do not talk and use hand motions, so that would be fine. Second, if I needed to say something mean, I would never say it, and I would not any way. Third, I think it is cool not speaking because it is being in a different culture. Some might argue that saying everything on their mind was better because they would like to say their feelings first on the list. All these reasons support my answer of why to never speak again.
ReplyDeleteI would rather never speak again because what is an my mind is not something everyone should know. I would never speak because I think that you sometimes need to stay quite for everyone else and not gust that but you might think that someone looks bad and you would haft to say it.
ReplyDeleteI would rather never speak because you could write things down. You could never say anything bad. Some people think it is better to speak everything you want to say but that hurts people's feelings if it's about them and it's bad.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose from saying everything in my head or nothing at all I would choose to say everything on my mind.One because talking is great. Another reason is that I could still call my family and talk to them. And finally I could say things that I've been thinking about for a while. Although some people might think that never speaking again is better because if you're thinking of something mean than you don't have to say it. I think that saying everything on your mind is better because you can say your real thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose I would pick never speak again. 1. because you could have something you wanted to keep to yourself. 2. Something you were thinking about could be offensive to somebody. 3. you would get tired of thinking. But some poeple might ague that saying everything on your mind would be better.Thats what I think.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose I would pick never speak again. 1. Because you could have something on your mind that you wanted to keep to yourself. 2. Something that your thinking about could be offensive to somebody. 3.You would get tired of talking. But some one might ague that saying what ever is on your mind would be better. That's what I think
DeleteI would rather not speak because you could just write things down and you will not be hurting anyone's feelings from thinking badly of them. You could also never get in trouble from words. However, some may argue that having to say what's on your mind would be better because your mom would know what is going on at school. I still think it would be better to not be able to speak because what if you don't want your mom to know something?
ReplyDeleteI think that speaking everything on my mind is worse than never speaking again because you could text, write a note on a piece of paper, or even learn sign-language. I think that some people would also argue that saying everything on your mind is better because talking is a pleasure to some people. I still think that not talking is better because if you have something mean to say in your mind or if you are thinking of a bad word then you would say it out loud. That is why I think it would be better to not talk at all.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose to never speak again or to say every thing that was on my mind I would never speak again. Why I choose to never speak again is because if I never spoke again I could write every thing down. Others may argue that it would be better to say every thing on your mind but if you did do that then you cant say never mind because you would HAVE to say what was on your mind and it could hurt other peoples feelings. That is why I choose to never speak again.
ReplyDeleteI would rather never speak again because...
ReplyDeleteYou could carry around a white board and write down what you want to say. Have you ever lost your voice before? I have, it would basicly be like that. Lastly if you said ever thing on your mind you would probably hurt everyone's feelings and I wouldn't want to do that. Some may argue that never speaking would be tourture but I don't agree I think the oppisite. I think that never speaking again would be better.
If I had to choose between saying everything that is on my mind or never speaking again, I would choose never speaking again. I would choose never speaking again because I might hurt somebody's feelings if I say everything that is on my mind. Another reason is because you could use sign language to communicate. The last reason is I would probable never be quit. However, some might argue that always saying what is on your mind would be better because you could control your thoughts. I think never speaking again would be better.
ReplyDeleteI would chose never speak again because some things on my mind are hurtful and I try not to say it. Also some things are things I dont want people to know. I think to never speak again is better
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose I would speak my mind. Because don't teachers always tell you "Tell us whats on your mind." Another thing is you should not be afraid to tell people your opineon. and you should think happy things. that is what I think.
