Would You Rather

Dear students,

For your final blog posts, you will write a persuasive paragraph in a series called "Would You Rather." In each post, I will give you a scenario, and you will have to defend your answer using the following criteria:
  • topic sentence stating your opinion
  • At least 3 supporting sentences defending your opinion
  • One counter argument
  • A concluding sentence summarizing your writing

Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:

Would you rather have a three-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation?

I cannot wait to see what you will write!

Your teacher,
Mrs. Eads

P.S.-Here is my example:
        If I had the choice to have a three-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a three-day weekend every week. If I had a three-day weekend instead of two days, I would get a lot more done! In addition, I would not have to work as much, and I could spend more time working out, shopping, reading, relaxing, and hanging out with my friends. Plus, I would not feel so rushed on my weekends. I could even go out of town for long weekends and visit family and friends! However, some may prefer an extra month of summer vacation because they could take longer trips. I think the benefits of longer weekends out weigh the benefits of an extra month of summer. I prefer having a three-day weekend  rather than having another month of summer vacation.

  1. If I had a choice to have a three day weekend or an extra month in Summer, I would rather have a three day weekend. First, I would have more time to get my homework done. Second, I could go on a two day trip and have time to get home on the third day. Finally, I could have a four day school week, so I would have less school. Some people would rather have an extra month for Summer because they have more times for camps that stuff, but more weekend outways more Summer. I would definitely choose more weekend over more Summer.

  2. IF I had the choice of a three day weekend or an extra month of summer. I would choose a three day weekend because I have more time to do things with my family and friends. Another reason is I could get homework done in no rush. Finally I could go visit my grandparents in Knoxville and cousin in Birmingham.That is why I would rather have a three day weekend then a extra moth of summer

  3. If i had the choice of a three day weekend or a extra month of summer i'd choose the three day weekend. Because then we'd have more time of school, more time to go on trips, more time to be with family and friends, and more time to get school work done. That is why i'd rather have a three day weekend.

  4. If I had the choice of a three day weekend or an extra month of summer I would choose the three day weekend. The reason why is that I would have time to get homework done, and have more time to play outside. That is why I would choose a three day weekend.

  5. If i had the choice of extra month of summer or three day weekend, I would pick three day weekend because you would have more time to do fun stuff. Like go on short trips and have more sleep overs. I would have much more time to do fun stuff for sure! That is why I would rather have a three day weekend.

  6. I would rather have the extra month of summer. I think that it would mean more things you get to do and you might get a longer summer vacation. I think that an extra month of summer vacation would be the best.

  7. If I had a choice of a three day weekend or an extra month of summer I would choose the three day weekend. The reason why is that I would have more time to do homework and I can play outside longer.

  8. If I had a choice of a three day weekend or an extra month of summer. I would pick an extra month for the summer so you can go on another trip and get to stay home. I would still do the extra month of summer. Some days I have to go to my parents office for summer days but I still choose an extra month of summer.

  9. I would chose an extra month of summer. more time to play and have time, and the pool will be open longer. you would have to wait four days till the three day weekend, but four months of summer vacation sounds much more fun.

  10. If I had the choice of a three day weekend or an extra month of summer. I would choose a extra month of summer. First summer is awesome. Also we get more days off. Plus we get to play lots of games. That's why I think one month of summer is better than a three day weekend.

  11. My choice is to have an extra month of summer. For instance, we would have more time to finish our summer homework. Second we would have less time for school work. Finally we would be able to do more summer activities.
    Although it would be fun to have a three day weekend I think it would be more fun to hang out at the pool instead of freezing in the snow. This is why I would rather have more summer than a three day weekend.

  12. I would choose an extra month of summer. I would choose it because, first, I would have more summer vacation. Second, I would have more time to see my friends. Lastly, I could go to 2 sleep away camps. I would have chosen A 3 day weekend but I love sleep away camp. If I had a choice of a 3 day weekend or a extra month of summer I would choose a extra month of summer.
