Persuasive Writing
Editorials
Projects
- Critical Response Writing - The purpose of education. (Sept. 15 -- good copy Sept. 19 - handed back)
- Critical response writing #2 Cell phones in classrooms- Oct. 12
SAMPLE INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH For critical response
A man is punched in the face while another is mortally wounded from a sword swipe to the chest. Blood spurts everywhere and young kids cheer with enthusiasm. Is this the Middle ages? Am I at some gruesome public execution? No, I am in a movie theatre in 2011 watching a movie that isn't even rated R. Some think that there is nothing wrong with graphic violence in movies but I am not one of them. I think that we need stricter regulations on movies so that young children aren't allowed to see the graphic violence that is so prevalent in movies today. We need to restrict the violence in movies because movie violence desensitizes children to real violence and destroys the empathy they should have for the suffering of others. It also promotes violent rather than peaceful conflict resolution skills (punch someone rather than talk to them) and gives a false impression of the world so that many think crime is rising when it is actually dropping in Canada.
