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 think that KIds should be able to have a tv in there room, but some may argue that it is bad for you. For example, kids could see something that they are not supposed to see. Also, if they are supposed to do there homework they might say, "yes I did my homework when they did not. However, they could watch educational videos to see how to do something on there homework. Also, if they are very bored they could watch tv. I think that kids should be able to have a tv in their room. -George c

Kids should have tvs in their room because they can get bord and they can go to their room. some may argue that they will stay up late. Although they are good for if they cant control their self. Otherwise they could trick their mom that they are doing their homework but they are watching tv. On the other side they could have good responceiblity. Thats why kids should have tvs.

I think kids should have a TV in there room. Some may argue they should not have TVs, for example, it can hurt there brain if they watch it too much. They would also stay up late and watch TV. Some reasons they should have TVs is that they would probably do better in school. They would also be kind to there brothers and sisters. This is why I think kids should have a TV in there room.

Although having a T.V. in your room is great, some may argue that kids are to young to have T.V.'s in their rooms. For example, they might stay up to late on their T.V. at night, also kids might have not gotten their homework done yet but they said they did. However, having at T.V. in your room would show responsibility, sacrifice, and of course it would teach your child how to learn. You should give your child a T.V. for his/her bedroom. Thank you for reading.

Although having a T.V. in your room is great some may argue that kids should not have a T.V. in their room. For example, they might think that kids will stay up late and not do their homework, also they might be watching a bad show that they should not be watching. However it would show that your kid has responsibility to know when and when not to watch T.V. furthermore, they can watch shows that will help them in school. That is why I think kids should have a T.V. in their room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough TV's are great some may argue that having a TV is bad.
ReplyDeleteFor example, parents might not want there kids to stare at a screen all day. Also kids might not go to bed when they are supposed to. However, TV's can cure boredom. You can watch whatever you want on a TV. You can watch football or the news or even funny movies. I think every kid should be able to have a TV in their room.

Children should be able to have a T.V. in their room, but some people might say they shouldn't have a T.V in there room. They could stay up too late. They could watch bad T.V shows. They could not listen to their parents. But if they have a T.V in their room they can pass the time if their bored. Also they could watch educational videos. It could also teach responsibility.
ReplyDeletewas that elia'S ?
DeleteAlthough children should be able to have a T.V. in their room, some may argue that kids might stay up late a night. Also, kids might get to addicted to the T.V. Most kids would want a T.V in their room because they would rather sitting in their bed than on a couch or chairs. Mabey kids would like more privacy watching T.V. This is my opinion why kids should have a T.V in their room. James.O
ReplyDeleteI think I should have a T.V in my room. Although, some may argue that it is bad for your education. Some might also argue that you will not fall asleep and you will stay up all night watching T.V. However, I think that it would be good for showing responsibility with a T.V. Also, there is a first time for everything! Furthermore,you would never be bored again on the weekends! Those are my reasons for having a T.V in our rooms. Thank you for listening.

Although kids should have a tv in their room, some may argue that kids shouldn't have tvs in their room. For example, they may not pay attention when someone is talking to them, but instead they watch the tv. Kids might go to bed later than usual because they were watching tv. Kids might lie about doing their homework because they were watching tv. Kids also might watch something they aren't supposed to. However, watching tv cures boredom. Also when you watch tv you can watch a educational show too. Another reason is that watching tv is fun and it can't hurt you so just have fun watching tv sometimes. If you don't watch tv for that long it is fine. Having a tv also gives responsibility about how long you watch it and your screen time. Just to end, having a tv in any kid room is fine.

I think kids should have a TV in their room, but some may argue kid should not have a TV in their room. For example they could watch it at 1:00! Also, they could watch it instead of homework. However, they might watch educational shows. Furthermore, it will keep them from boredom. that's why I think kids should have a TV in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should have a tv in their room, some may argue that tv can rot your brain. For example, you kid may say that they are completing homework, but are watching tv. Also, kids will sit in front of the tv all day. However, you can allow only a hour a day if so. Furthermore, tv is the new cure for the dreaded BOREDOM! If your parents watch tv in their room all day why shouldn't you?

DeleteHaha! Dreaded of boredom!
DeleteI think kids should have TV's in their rooms. Although some may argue that they should not. For example, They can say they are doing their homework but they are watching TV. However, if some parents have TV's in their rooms, why can't kids? Kids should get what parents do other than bills & stuff like that. -Mary
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteAlthough many think children should have a T.V. in their room, some may argue that they shouldn't. For example, they might say their going to do their homework...but really they're watching the T.V. instead. Also, they might watch it when they shouldn't watch it, nor take care of it. However, with a T.V. in your room, you could watch it when you get bored! Furthermore, you could listen to waves on the T.V. when you're trying to fall asleep. Having a T.V. is a responsibility.

Although kids should have a T.V some may argue that it's not good for them. For example they would maybe not want to come out of their room and stay in there all day. Also they could say there going to do their homework in their room but they are watching T.V. However giving kids a T.V in their room makes them have more responseabilty, and it could make them not wake up a sibling if it's on the weekend. Well that is why I think it's a good idea to let your kids have a T.V in their room.

DeleteWhat does that mean
DeleteAlthough me and everyone of you should have a telly in their room, some may argue that we shouldn't have a telly in our rooms. For example we could do it constant and watch the telly all night for 1,000,000,000,001 years. Also it might turn everyone's brain into a giant pile of mush. Although, how come my parents have tellys in their room. Also, it can be a quiet activity. Those are my reasons that kids should have a telly in their room.

Although I think that kids should have a TV in there room some might argue that kids should not have TV's in there room. For example they could stay up all night watching TV! Also, when they wake up for school, and you have been watching TV all night you would be so so so tiered. Furthermore, you can watch TV in your bedroom because your sister or brother can watch what they want and you can watch what.

I think that all kids should have a TV in their room, but some think not. They think this because they think kids would tell the parents that they are doing homework, when they are watching TV, or because they think that kids will stay up until 1:00 watching TV.However, you can set a lock that lets you turn it off if it is on too late. Furthermore, if kids have the other TV by a bedroom, they can use the one in his or her room. I think kids can have TVs in their rooms.
ReplyDeletethis is seth
DeleteI think kids should be able to have there own T.V. in there room but some may say that kids should not have a T.V. in there room for example, they could be playing GTA5 and then there grandma ask are you still playing that game and he will be like no grandma doing my homework! However, they could be doing things that educate them like I play BF1 to help me learn more about my nonfiction topic. But really I think it is fine letting kids have a T.V. in there room.

Although I think kids should have tv, some might argue kids should not have tvs in their room. For example, kids might go into their room and say they are doing homework. When they actually watch tv. Also, kids might get distracted and watch tv all night. However, there could be programs that help you learn. Another reason is, early in the morning if you are board. You can go and watch tv without disturbing anyone's sleep. That is why kids should have tvs in their rooms. Asher

DeleteI think kids should be able to have a T.V in there room. Although some may argue kids should not have a T.V in there room. For example, they would not come out of there room. Also, studies show that to much T.V can rot your brain. However if you are board you can watch t.v. Also, you can learn facts on t.v. That's why I think kids should have t.v's in their rooms. - BRYAN

In my opinion, kids should have the rights to have a T.V. in their room, but some people may belive otherwise. For example, some kids may watch T.V. in the middle of the night, or they may say that they are doing homework but they are really watching T.V. However, kids can also watch educational programs. Kids do have the rights to have a T.V. in their room!
