Dear students,

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
  • One counter argument
  • A concluding sentence summarizing your writing

Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:

Would you rather have a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail? 

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 :)

  1. If I had to chose between having a squirrel tail or having a unicorn tail , I would have to have the squirrel tail. First of all, their fluffy like my stuffed animals . Plus you can make your friends laugh by tickling them . Most of all, my sister would really think it is fun. However , some people may think that having a unicorn horn is better because you can poke your friends when they are annoying . That would hurt! This is why I think it would be fun to have a squirrell tail Ps . I would name it Sam Jr.

  2. If I had to choose between a unicorn's horn or a squirrel's tail, I would choose to have a squirrel's tail. I would choose this because a squirrel's tail is soft and a unicorn's horn it hard. here are a few reasons why having a squirrel's tail is better. I could sleep with a squirrel's tail. I could also put it on me and pretend I am a squirrel. Lastly I could play pin the tail on the squirrel. However, some people may say that having unicorn's horn is better because you could prove unicorns are real. I would rather have a squirrel's tail.

  3. I would rather have a unicorn horn than a squirrel tail. First of all, a squirrel tail has no magic in it, so you would just be walking with a big bushy thing sticking out of your pants! Second of all, if you have a unicorn horn, you could carry more things at once! For example, if you have football like I do, you could carry your gear on your horn while you are getting ready! Some people might say that a horn on your head may look weird, but to be honest, so would having a squirrel tail! That is why I chose a unicorn horn,

  4. If I could pick between a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would chose a unicorn horn. One reason is because I could just use my unicorn horn and grow a squirrel tail from it. My second reason is because I could make whatever I want out of my unicorn horn. For example, I could make whatever dessert I want come out of thin air which, in my opinion, would be THE BEST THING EVER! My last reason is because I could make myself transport to different places or, I COULD FLY! However, someone could argue that having a squirrel tail is better because your unicorn horn might get in the way of things like when you reach down to get something your horn might make it harder because it is stopping your head from going any farther down. UNICORNS ARE AWESOME AND THEY ROCK THE WORLD!!!!!!!! That is why I chose having a unicorn horn over a squirrels tail.

  5. I would rather have a squirrel tail because if I had a unicorn horn I would probably poke somebody. Also, I could tickle everyone. Finally, I could communicate with other squirrels, and play with them. However people would also want a unicorn horn because they could run around and say I am a unicorn. That is the why I the chose the squirrel tail.

  6. If I had to choose to have a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would choose a unicorn horn. Here's why:
    First, UNICORNS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Second, you wouldn't have to put your finger on your head to pretend you are a unicorn, because you are already one! Third, you would have a stylish, rainbow horn on your head! Who would want a giant, poofy, unstylish tail on their tush. Plus if you try to brush your tail it would be really funny to watch, because you would just be chasing your tail. It would be soft to pet, but still, who want a tail? This is why I chose a unicorn horn over a squirrel tail.

  7. If I had to have a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would have a unicorn horn. First of all unicorns are awesome! I also chose this because I could make whatever I wanted with it. I could grant all of my wishes. I could also take away my unicorn horn by wishing it. Some people may want to have a squirrel tail because they're fluffy, and you could shake it. I would rather have a unicorn horn.

    if I had to choose between having a unicorn horn or a squirrel's tail,I would have a unicorn's horn. I would be the most popular kid in the world. I would use the magical power of the horn to be awesome. I could roast marshmallows with my horn. Some people would have a squirrel's tail because it is soft.

  9. If I had to choose between a unicorn horn or a squirrel tain a would choose a unicorn horn. I would choose that because they can be mythical. Unicorns are really cool, they are rare like so rare they don't even exist. So it would be really awesome to have one. If I had a unicorn then I would name it Ellie JR. Ellie JR. would know all my favorite thing like having a lemonade sale it would be fun to have one with the horn and that would attract a LOT of consumers. I could teach it to draw portraits of the Ellielisa (Monalisa but of me!) Although I would love to have a bushy squirrel tail. But unicorn horns are in and squirrel tails are out. Squirrel tails smell bad but Unicorn horns smell like rainbows! Those are my reasons why Unicorn horns are better then squirrel tails will ever be.

  10. If I could choose to have a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would choose unicorn horn!!!!!! I choose a unicorn horn because it give you powers, so I could fly everywhere. I would also have an excuse to neigh and barf rainbows during class. The last reason is, I could have an amazing self defense weapon. That is why I would rather have a unicorn horn.

  11. If I had to choose between having a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would choose having a unicorn horn. One, you can maybe have magical powers with a unicorn horn and squirrel tail can not do that. Also unicorn horns are better because mostly they are really shiny and colorful and squirrel tail is just brown. And Finally, you would kill a squirrel or injure it if you get it tail, but it does not matter as much if you get a unicorn horn. However people might want a squirrel tail because they are soft. But I still think a unicorn horn is better.

  13. If I had to choose between having an unicorn horn or a squirrel tail, I would choose to have a unicorn horn. For example, it could maybe give you magical powers. Also, if I was just walking down the street I would get a compliment because of how many people love unicorns. Finally, if you had a horn it wouldn't bother you when you do something. However, some people say having a squirrel tail would be better because it could look funny. This is why i would rather have a unicorn horn rather than a squirrel tail.

  14. If I had to pick between a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would choose a unicorn horn. First, you get to have a very rare horn from a unicorn. Second, I have always wanted a unicorn horn plus they a very rare. Finally, the unicorn horn might have powers in them. But others may think that a squirrel tail might be better because no one really cares for the squirrel and they wouldn't mind getting its tail. Those are reasons why I would want a unicorn horn.

    If I could have a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail, I would choose a squirrel tail, because tails are fun, cool, and I have secretly always wanted one. Just Kidding, but a tail would be awesome. I would sleep on it, use it as an umbrella, and use it like a blanket, like squirrels do.
    Although a squirrel tail would be better, some argue a unicorn horn is better. But you can't have powers so it's just dead weight. It never said you can shoot lasers out of it or anything. Like I said, dead weight.
    In conclusion a squirrel tail is superior to a unicorn.

  17. I would choose a UNICORN horn. Here are some reasons why. 1 this is how I feel about UNICORNS, UNICORNS I love them Unicorns I love them Uni Uni Uni Uni Unicorns. 2 Unicorns can fly and everyone who truly loves UNICORNS would know that the UNICORN horn is what makes them fly. 3 I could dress up like a narwhal or UNICORN on Halloween and have the best costume. My counter argument is that some people don't love UNICORNS which means they have 0 love in their heart because. UNICORNS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I hope you like UNICORNS as much as me. UNICORNS, I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!

  18. If I had to choose between having a unicorn horn, or having a squirrel tail, I would want a unicorn horn. If I had a unicorn horn, I could have magic powers! I also could open water bottles with my horn! (Then I wouldn't have to get someone else to open them every time I get one!) Lastly, Unicorn horns are colorful! Some people might want a squirrel tail because it would be soft, but you would probably trip over it all the time. That is why I would have a unicorn horn.

  19. I would choose a unicorn horn. First off, unicorns are beast just to make that clear. Second off, If you had a unicorn horn you could scare people and it would be very funny. Third, If you had a unicorn horn you would not have trouble cutting your food. Fourth, If your brother/sister is being mean you could poke them. Fifth, You could use it to barge through people's doors sixth You could use it to grab things that you you can't reach with your arms or legs. Lastly you put things on the top of your horn so nobody could reach it. Some may say It might be hard to get in a car. If it was hard to get in a car I would still have the unicorn horn. That is why I choose a unicorn horn over a squirrel tail.

  20. If I had the choice between having a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would have a unicorn horn. A unicorn horn would be a lot more comfortable than a big bushy squirrel tail. Can you imagine having to sit on that? A unicorn horn would be cool because unicorn horns give you magical powers. Plus unicorns are one of my favorite animals! Others might want a squirrel tail because it is fluffy and it will make you laugh. I think that it would just be weird. I would rather have a unicorn horn than a squirrel tail.

  23. If I had to choose between a squirrel tail or a unicorn horn, I would choose the squirrel tail. I would choose that because you could do all sorts of cool stuff with a squirrel tail. For example, you could hang onto trees with a tail. You could also do all sorts of gymnastics like swinging with your tail and flying off. You could also really annoy people with it, but if you didn't want it to show, you could also tuck it into your pants. However, some people would rather have a unicorn horn. But if you had a unicorn horn, you would get tired from doing magic all day, and would also keep bumping your head on ceilings and stuff. Plus, there is always a price for magic. You have to run out sometime! That is why I would rather have a squirrel tail than a unicorn horn.

  24. If I had to pick to have a unicorn's horn or a squirrel's tail I would pick unicorns because I really like unicorns. And unicorns are awesome!!!! And finally, the unicorn can point to the closes rainbow! Then I'll be rich. Although some people may not like unicorn, so they will pick the squirrels tail because they like squirrels. But I like unicorns! So that is why I would pick the unicorn's horn. And another reason why is because, it is colorful! And unicorn's are really cool.

  25. If I had to choose between an unicorn horn or a squirrel tail, I would choose having a squirrel tail. I would like to have a squirrel tail because they are fuzzy, and I could sleep with one. Also, if I had a squirrel's tail I could make a indian bandana. I do not have anything against unicorns, but I like squirrels too. People think unicorn horns are better because they have magic but they will not have magic because the unicorn will keep the magic so don't think we are inside Harry Potter. Also squirrel tails don't have magic, but they do have fuzz. That is why I would choose having a squirrel tail over an unicorn horn.

  27. If I had to choose between unicorn tail or squirrel tail, I would have a rainbow sparkle pretty cool amazing UNICORN HORN! I would much rather have a rainbow sparkle pretty cool UNICORN HORN because it would be pretty. Also, I could grant wishes for myself and other people. Finally, it would hold 10,000,000,000 or more donuts on the horn, so I could eat it whenever I wanted. Some people may say that a boring squirrel tail is better because it is fluffy or you can shake it. Although, unicorn tails can make anything fluffy ( Pink fluffy unicorn.) This is why having a rainbow sparkle pretty cool amazing unicorn horn then just a fluffy squirrel tail. ( unicorns are awesome!)

  28. If I had to choose to either have a unicorn horn or a squirl tail, I would choose to have a squirl tail. I would choose this because a unicorn horn would probably give you a big head ache! Also, I would rather have a squirl tail because you can get rapped around it to keep warm. However, you might want a unicorn horn to protect yourself from getting hurt. In conclusion I would rather have a squirl tail.

  29. If I had the choice to choose between having a squirrel tail or to have a unicorn horn I would choose to have a unicorn horn. For example, I would love to have magical powers! If you had a squirrel tail you would not get to do that stuff. Some people say that they would want to have a squirrel tail because it is really soft and has more advantages. But again, unicorn horns are powerful... I am just saying it would be a lot cooler to have a unicorn horn! That is why I would like to have a unicorn horn more than a squirrel tail!

  30. I would rather have a unicorn horn than a squirrel's tail, because, first of all, a horn would be a good weapon if someone tried to hurt you. Second, the horn might be magical. Finally, it would be better to have a unicorn horn because, if you had a tail, people would probably make fun of you. Some may counter that it would be hard to sleep with a horn, but you can always sleep on your back. In my opinion, it would be better to have a unicorn horn than have a squirrel's tail.
