Agrument: Texting in School

Assertion/Claim:
  • Students should be able to text before classes and during lunch.

Evidence:
 Being able to text before classes and during lunch would allow the students to not have to sneak around.
  • Commentary 1: Each and every teacher knows that we text during their before or class and during lunch, so if they would give us permission it would not be such a big deal.
  • Commentart 2: Althoug the vast majority of teens surveyed said they’ve been able to fly under the radar while texting in class.

Most students will say the only reason they text during a class is because of the big deal it makes.
  • Commentary 1: It is apart of the teen culture to text,  but sometimes we do not even think about it during class we just feel it vibrate and pull it out as if we was at our house.
  • Commentart 2:The survey found that 17 percent of the kids who text in class said they did so "constantly" and more than half say they text friends who are sitting in the same class; 22 percent said they’ve texted answers to classmates struggling to answer a teacher’s question.
Opposing Claims/they say:
  • Many teachers believe that students only use texting during school hours to cheat.
My Rebuttal/I say/:
  • However, it is simply not true that we just want to text during school to cheat, we want to text during school is just another way for us to talk to our friends that we might not have that class period with or we do not go to the same school.
My Paragraph
Students should be able to text before classes and during lunch. Being able to text before classes and during lunch would allow the students to not have to sneak around. Each and every teacher knows that we text during their before or class and during lunch, so if they would give us permission it would not be such a big deal. Although the vast majority of teens surveyed said they’ve been able to fly under the radar while texting in class.First of all most students will say the only reason they text during a class is because of the big deal it make, the teachers make such a fuse about it. Texting is apart of the teen culture, but sometimes we do not even think about it during class we just feel it vibrate and pull it out as if we was at our house.The survey found that 17 percent of the kids who text in class said they did so "constantly" and more than half say they text friends who are sitting in the same class; 22 percent said they’ve texted answers to classmates struggling to answer a teacher’s question. Many teachers believe that students only use texting during school hours to cheat. However, it is simply not true that we just want to text during school to cheat, we want to text during school is just another way for us to talk to our friends that we might not have that class period with or we do not go to the same school. However if teachers would just allow us to text there would not be such huge disagreement among the students and teachers.

My Thinking:
This paragraph is based mainly on deductive reasoning because there is many facts used in the paragraph above.
