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?

Blog Post #3 - Describe a Setting

In a paragraph, tell us about a place you have visited.  This place can be in Korea or abroad.  This place could be an entire city, a famous landmark, a small unknown street, someone's apartment, or any other place you would like to write about.  When describing this place, try to give as many details as you can to help us imagine what it would be like if we were at the place with you.  Think about your senses while you write.  Write about what you saw, smelled, heard, tasted, felt, and thought while you were at this place.  What did the scenery look like?  How was the weather?  What kind of people were at this place with you?  How did this place make you feel?  Write like you are painting a picture with words.  Tell us about anything you did or anything that happened to you at this place.  Use as many adjectives, adverbs, and intensifiers as you can to describe your experience.   You can also include a picture of this place if you have one.
