argumentative essay

Our newest topic up for debate is communication.  What is the best way to talk to people?  Many ideas that were brain stormed were, phones, Facebook, Skype, Instagram, Kik, email, and writing letters.  The learners have to convince me (a lover of the old fashioned paper and pencil style letter writing), that times have changed, and I need to get on board with the technology era.

So let's see how well they did at convincing me to take a change and try something new :)




Currently we are working on another new topic for discussion.

1. Is graffiti art or vandalism?
2. Are video games harmful to your health?


                    Question number one. What do you think?
                                 Is Graffiti art or vandalism?

Check out this persons use of color and depth using only cans of spray paint!  So is it art or vandalism?

When graffiti is done on someone else's property, is it still considered art?  What else could this money, which was used for the clean up, been used for in the community?  Would you have donated your time for this cause?

Question number 2.  

Are video games harmful or helpful to your health?

This clip seems to show positive uses for video games.

This video seems to show...well, you tell me :)

I guess it depends on the evidence you have to back up your opinion...words are a powerful tool.  Aren't you glad you have them?  What will your words tell me?
