Use these steps to build your counterargument:

Thesis/Claim
Even though advocates of advertising on T.V. might argue that this bustling industry supports the U.S. economy through the creation of 1 million jobs each year, a law should still exist that prohibits television commercials targeting young children. School aged children are exposed to inappropriate content, unhealthy foods and are often manipulated into situations where actual bodily harm occurs as a directly result of the products pitched to them in their living rooms.Mentor Text:
Can you spot the steps below that build the counterargument
Proponents of the current status quo on advertising argue quite loudly that this industry creates over 10million jobs across the nation. Effective advertising leads to profitable businesses; profitable businesses lead to more jobs, and more jobs lead to a healthy successful economy. However, do the benefits outweigh the pitfalls? The APA estimates that advertisers may spend more than $12 billion per year on ads created to pull in the youth market. Because young children do not understand the actions of advertisers, they will eat the fatty foods without knowing it could harm them. The advertising leads to poor health and poor health leads to a greater demand on the countries health care system thus adversely affecting the economy. Manipulating, influencing, and persuading students to eat unhealthy food is wrong.

Mr Buxton, for next tuesday what type of topic do you recommend? Either could it be something that we are passionate about or something that we want to put a stop to?
Well Jessie I think really anything that you are passionate about and maybe what you want to stop. I really like that video. It makes me think about persuasion and also talking in front of groups. I have never been nervous about it but I want to do it more.
VIDEO-Do you feel as though you would be able to do this?
Not in a million years. I can do improv to speaking but not read off of a sheet of paper because new things might come to me and then mess me up, but I loved the video, the way she uses great eye contact, logos, and pathos. But, one thing she needs to do is slow down. At one point I could barely understand her. She rushed into sentences. Blaming her, I would never do that because she is speaking in front of hundreds of people. What do we do, we speak in front of 20 people which is not as much. Maybe 900 less. It is still a challenge. I am impressed with her ability to use great vocabulary and to get up there with all of her confidence. All of her confidence is probably Mr. Buxton's C/D block . I would never be able to do this. Would You?
Jessie-C/D block
Thanks jordan
Wow Jessie :)
I totally agree with you. I do things like that when I talk. I talk and then I have a really good thought that I want to say but that my lead me to another good thought. Sometimes though if I sit down and really plan what I do say and I get all my good thoughts out. I also agree when you said about her confidence. She has great confidence and it seems that she doesn't have another care in the world. I think that this new vocabulary system will help us develop good vocabulary. In a way this could be what we are achieving.
In Membean a word that was there was Civil. if Civil means when you are being nice then what was the CIVIL WAR
Thanks for the tips for the argument it really helps.I liked the new way of teaching today doing it then learning what you did wrong. I think you should do that more often.
That is really PECULIAR Jessie. That is a really good question though!
I just came across the word civil on membean and I saw that it says being polite or kind AND IT ALSO SAYS that it could refer to citizens in general.
Yeah I know Jordan, It is really weird
But remember it also says citizens in general so in context the Civil War could be the citizens war
Yeah thanks Jordan, my dad just explained it to me. And quick question, with out looking it up on the internet what does extemporaneous mean? My dad just told me that my grandpa use to use this word everyday. Though it might be fun to learn a very complex word. Just though I might ask this question the fact Jordan and I were talking about vocab.
My best guess is that it is kind of like exemplary. Or really superior. I have no clue :)
What does it really mean?
It means Fake. I found it really weird at first but then it made sense
Oh you should use that in context tomorrow :)
I used it in the research based argument counterargument paragraph.
Good job! I think that it sometimes might be hard to use it in context
It is very hard, the fact that it is a very long word
either jess. the key is that it is easy t o find research.
You will be able to di it by the time we are finished!
Research the root of 'civil' - to truly understand the meaning
civil war (n.) Look up civil war at Dictionary.com
"battles among fellow citizens or within a community," from civil in a sense of "occurring among fellow citizens" attested from late 14c. in batayle ciuile "civil battle," etc. The exact phrase civil war is attested from late 15c. (the Latin phrase was bella civicus).
That would have been a smart idea Mr. Buxton. I thought that it would do finding the meaning but know I think I really need to understand the meaning and not just memorize it.
Thank you Mr. Buxton
Wait? do I have to present tommorow mr.buxton?
