Blog Post #6 - For the Sake of Argument Part II

Look at you last blog post (Blog #5).  For this blog, I want you to take the other side of the argument.  Disagree with your previous opinion and persuade us to agree with the opposite of what you previously argued in Blog #5.  Why is the other opinion about the topic correct?  Why are your ideas in Blog #5 incorrect or only partially correct?  You are essentially disagreeing with yourself.  Try to use Counter-Argument and Argument techniques in your post, and also try to use Concession and Refutation.

Blog Post #5 - For the Sake of Argument

Do you have any strong opinions about anything?  Is there anything that you often disagree with people about?  Write about a topic that you feel strongly about.  Write about your opinion on the topic and persuade us to agree with your opinion.  Why are your ideas about the topic correct?  Why are other people’s ideas incorrect or only partially correct?  Be sure to provide enough SUPPORTING DETAILS for your argument. If you need help thinking of a topic, read the news or search the internet for ARGUMENT ESSAY TOPICS.

Blog Post #4 - A Short Personal Story

Tell us a short story about a time that you were surprised, frightened, disturbed or disgusted by something.  What were you doing before you were surprised, frightened, disturbed or disgusted?  What was it that caused you to experience these emotions?  What was your reaction?  Why did you react this way?  What did you do or what did you think after being surprised, frightened, disturbed or disgusted?  Would you feel the same way the next time something like this happened?
