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 sentence restating 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,
Mrs. Braddy
Children should be able to have T.V. in their room because what if your sibling is hogging the T.V. in the playroom? and your dad is in the mancave watching T.V.? and your mom is in her room watching netflix? You can have your own private T.V. in your room! And you can stay up all night watching movies. Although, Your parents might bust you. Some may argue, (probably your parents) and say "no." However you can just go to best buy and get one! Every child in the world should have a T.V. in their room.
ReplyDeleteI think all kids should have a dog, some people may think we shouldn't, they think we should have a cat,or we should have a hamster,however dogs will love you and care for you, and they will bring joy to you, I think all kids should have a dog
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion children should be able to have a T.V in their room. Adults Point Of View. - But some people may say you are way to young to have a T.V in your room. You should at least wait until you are over 16. That thing is satellite box! For example, you might be way too tired to go to school the next morning from watching T.V all night. Then your parents will bust you in the morning and you will be in trouble. OH NO NO NO. Furthermore, it will take up space in your room. I mean yes I would like a little more space, but I WANT A TV MORE!!! Your parents would probably say NO WAY. However it does not hurt try to ask. ???
ReplyDeleteChildren should have a TV in their room because you can watch TV when ever you want! what if your older snobby sister is hogging the TV? What if your mom is hogging the I pad? what if your dad is hogging the.... LIVING ROOM TV?! kids need a TV! It should be a law! What if you are board out of your mind???? See? It's only Fair!!!!
ReplyDeleteI also think that children should have a T.V in their room. But, if you stay up all night in the morning you won't be able to get up so, you will be late for school! Also, you will get in SO much trouble! But still, I really want a T.V in my room!
ReplyDeleteAlthough children should have a TV in their room, some parents may argue that children should not have a TV in their room. For example, children would stay up to late and be to tired to get up in the morning for school. Also, all we would do is watch TV and not get our homework done. Furthermore, children should be able to have a TV, I mean most of our parents have one. But, it is a rule in my house that no one gets a TV in there room (even my parents do not have on in their room). So, I know I will never get one.
ReplyDeleteChildren should have TVs in their rooms. Some may argue that it is not good for you to watch TV all the time. I would still really want a TV in my room.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, children should be able to have a TV in their room. But other people (parents) say that you are to young to have a TV in your room. My parents say "You have to wait until your over 13." But I disagree! For example if you secretly watch TV all night and is too tired to go to school the next morning (always me) it is bad for you. And then your parents punish you and you get grounded.(like me) NO NO NO :(! Of course it will take a little bit of room. But WHO CARES!!! I WANT A TV! My parents say no but your parents may not.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think children should have a TV in their room, some may argue that they do not want a TV in their room. For example, if you didn't have a TV in your room you wouldn't have to worry about remembering to turn it off. However, if you are not feeling like getting out of your room that day you have a TV right there to watch. Having a TV in your room is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think that kids should have TV in their room, but adults will argue that kids should not because you stay up too late when you watch TV. From a kids view we should have a TV in our room because if you are bored you can watch TV in your room when everybody else is watching something you don't like. Or no one else will play with you. Watch TV! That is why kids need a Tv in their room.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should be able to have a TV because it is entertaining and if you only have one TV you couldn't have much to do.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should be able to have a T.V. in their room, some may argue that kids would stay up to late. For example, if kid have a T.V. in their room they will be tempted to watch it. However, watching the T.V. might make kid sleepy. In my opinion kids should be able to have a T.V. in their room.
ReplyDeleteI think that children should have as TV as they want. But children should play outdoors to, and being outside is good for your body. But a TV is sometimes good it can teach you history, science, and even math. So I think all kids should have TV.
ReplyDeleteI think kids can have a little bit of TV in the morning and a little bit in the afternoon, some may argue that kids shouldn't have any at all.For example, parents say that TV rots the brain.However kids love TV because they lots of shows or movies that kids like. So kids should a little bit in the morning and the afternoon then do homework or play outside.
