In writing, we learned to improve our writing by presenting counter arguments in our essays. Today, I will give you a thesis statement for which you must write a counter argument paragraph. Remember a counter argument has the following structure:
Although (thesis statement), some may argue that (counter argument). For example,(evidence for counter argument). However, (evidence for your thesis). Closing sentencerestating your thesis.
Although I love ice cream, some may argue that cake is better. For example, cake is used for celebrations such as birthdays, weddings, and baby showers. However, one can have ice cream cake or cake batter ice cream for any occasion. I love ice cream because it is the most wonderful, versatile treat!
Now, it is your turn. Write a counter argument paragraph for the following thesis statement:
Children should be able to have a T.V. in their room.
I look forward to reading your responses.
Your teacher,
Ms. Blackmon
Although I think kids should be able to have a T.V. in there room, some may say it could hurt their brain. For example, if kids have a T.V. in their room they would watch it so much that it could hurt their brain. However, if you hurt your brain it could damage different parts of your body. Therefore, I think kids should be able to have a T.V.
ReplyDeleteSome people think that kids should have a TV in their room and I say, yes give your middle child a TV in their room!!! Though the parents say "TV rots your brain and makes you lose brain cells!" Though I say, "Sais who? and I am completely right. Maybe it's just parents that made it up! Unfortunately, parents say watch TV on a sunny day is a waste of time, but what if it's rainy! Every thought of that! In conclusion, Us kids you have a TV in our room. Thank you for listening...
ReplyDeleteT.V. does not make you lose brain cells.
DeleteAlthough children should be able to have a T.V. in their room, some may argue that you will become addicted to T.V. For example, having a T.V in your room will ruin your eyes even more than just having one. However, whenever you want to watch T.V, you could enjoy it on your bed. Therefore, children should be able to have T.V. in their room.
ReplyDeleteI think I should get a T.V. in my room because I get good grades. I think I do at least. It will help me learn by watching educational shows on T.V. You may say that I will stay up to late. However that's why you can get the remote for the T.V. at my bedtime so I can't watch T.V. But during the day I should get the remote that's why I think I should get a T.V. in my room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think children should have a T.V. in their room, some may say that they should not. For example, if kids had a T.V. in their room they could watch it all day. On the other hand, there mom could hide the remote after they have watched to much. Therefore children should be allowed to have a T.V. in their room.
ReplyDeleteI don't think people should people should be able to watch T.V in their room but play X-box in their room. Although, parents may argue because their kids might wake up at 1:00 am. What think about watching tv at 1:00 am is WHO CARES.
ReplyDeleteChildren should not be able to have a T.V. in their room, although some think otherwise. For instance, you will not have a child begging you to change the channel, because they will have a T.V. thereselves! However, children should not beable to have a T.V. in their room because they will spend less time with their family! Therefore, children should not be able to have a t.v. in their room.
ReplyDeletetrue, but read my post to find out what the but is
DeleteThough the child himself might want a TV in their room, I think that they should only be able to have one in their room if their parents can monitor how much they watch. Watching a lot of TV actually makes you tired. Therefore, a child should not be able to have a TV in their room.
ReplyDeleteI think I should be able to have a tv in my room because I wouldn't watch it too much and my mom and dad could trust me. I know that my mom and dad would argue and say,"You don't need a tv in your room because all you would do all day was sit there and watch it. I would promise them that I would only turn it on when all my homework was done. I would watch 1 movie and one show if I wanted to. I would probably only want to watch a movie. I would let all my sisters in and they could use it whenever they wanted to.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should have a TV in there room because the parents could always watch TV whenever they wanted too. Some may say hint hint parents that kids should not have a TV in there room because they would get lazy, but kids would never get lazy because they would to busy be looking for the remot. That is why Kids should have a TV in their room.
ReplyDeleteTrue dat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteAlthough I think kids should be able to have T.Vs in their room, some may argue that they shouldn't. For example, they might stay up too late watching T.V. However, I think it may be good because they could have privacy and maybe turn the T.V on low sound to fall asleep. That's why I think kids should have T.Vs in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should be able to watch tv. on the weekends , some kids may argue that they should obey their parents and not watch tv. on the weekends. For example , tv. can mess up your brain , so would you rather keep your brain normal for later . However , would you want to watch a show about chocolate so you don't have to read the back of the raper? This is I think you should be able to watch tv. on the weekends.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids think they should have a tv in their rooms,some may argue that they should not have have a tv in their rooms. For example, kids may stay up all night playing video games and watching tv instead of sleeping. However it may keep you entertained while you are having you private time. That's why I say kids should have a tv in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should have a T.V. in their room, some may argue that kids should not. For example, kids might watch T.V. instead their homework. However, kids could do homework in the kitchen or dining room , so they can do their homework. That is why kids should have T.V.s in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I think I should have a TV in my room,some may think otherwize. For example, when a parent asks a child to do something, than the child say," After this show is over,"than they never do it. However, if you are bothering your mom or dad they can just say, "Go up in your room and watch TV. Therefor having a Tv in your room is the best choice.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should have a TV in their room, some may say that your brain would rot. It's true, your brain may rot. However, if you didn't watch a lot of TV your brain probably won't rot. Maybe one show a day could be your limit. Or you could even do two. I know my parents wouldn't let me have a TV in my room, but I still think other kids should be able to have a TV in their room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should be able to have T.Vs in their room, some may argue that kids shouldn't. For example, they may say T.V. will rot their brains. Also, people might say that they would not learn nothing. However, you could watch Animal Plant and learn about animals. That's why I think kids should have T.Vs in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think I should have a tv in my room, others may argue to not let me have a tv in my room (like my parents). For example I could stay up way too late watching tv and not get enough sleep. However, you could get a timer and when it goes off, the tv turns off. Also, you could put it on mute and just fall asleep to the lights from the tv. So that is why I think I should be able to have a tv in my room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough my parents say that if I had a T.V in my room I would never go to sleep, and that is 100% true but that's because I never get tired anyway they could just make me play Xbox and then maybe my fingers would get tired and I would so all in all, We should have T.V's in our rooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletea lot of children would love to be able to watch TV in there room. But I know a lot of parents who would disagree suck as my parent. they would argue with the kids.
ReplyDeleteAlthough some may argue that tv is bad for you it can be good too. You may find a history show or a educational show which can be good for you. You can also find bad shows and watching too much tv is bad. I think tv is okay and you should be able to watch it.
