Writing Archives Writing Notes/Resources Reflection Questions Argumentative Intros
Paragraph 1: Vacations to space should be offered. In the article, scholastic claims that “ anyone with a boatload of cash and craving for adventure “ may ride the spaceship. I think this shows that not everyone will be able to, and there is no one there to force you to board the spaceship. Another reason why vacations to space should be offered is because the article states that only five hundred and seventeen people have ever been in outer space. Five hundred and seventeen people out of the billions of people that live on earth is not a very percentage. Imagine the ideas a vacation to space would spark.
Paragraph 2: “ Be a bucket filler, not a bucket dipper “, as all the elementary teachers and bus drivers say. To “ bucket dip “ means to bully. Many think bullying should be considered a criminal offense. In the article “ Are Bullies Criminals? “, many parents believe bullying should be a crime. A young girl commits suicide because of bullies, should the children partaking in the bullying be put on trial? Many say yes, but the answer is no. Children need to learn to stand up for themselves and be smart enough to ask for help. Bullies only take advantage if you let them.
Paragraph 3: “ Think about the children “. Thinking about the children is exactly what scholastic was doing when they wrote an article about a sugar free school. Scholastic asks the question should sugar be banned from schools. Some experts it should, while others say it should not. Scholastic talks about the nutritional information in chips, candy, and sugary sodas. Sugar should be banned from schools because the levels of obesity and health problems would greatly decrease. Children would be forced to make healthy choices.
