A LIGHT BULB IS BETTER THAN SHOES.
IF you where to stay in your house for the rest of your life the shoes would be use-less and since you paid that money for shoes you cant afford a light bulb. light bulb is also better because if you had no lights then what would you do dont think to grab your keys because you cant find them. lastly, NO LIGHTS ! that could cause a fire then those shoes will be long gone. IT is true that shoes are style and hurt your feet less. BUT! in my opinion i would rather have corns on my toes than hit a wall every night in my house with no lights (pitch black) p.s. get a light bulb =~)

Shoes are better than lightbulb because without shoes you can get a dangerous disease. Also if you don't have any shoes you can't play sports because you can get glass in your foot, or rocks slice your foot. And your shoes can't run out of energy like a lightbulb. It is true that lightbulb can light up your room, but you can go to sleep at night and wake up and the day where it's light. That's four reasons why shoes better than a lightbulb.

Reason 1:shoes are better because if you didn't your feet would be cold. Reason 2: shoes are better because they can make you money. Reason 3: shoes are better because if you didn't have them your feet would get a disese in your foot. Concession: a light helps you see. Rebuttal: but light bulbs raise your energy bill, and that's why shoes are better.

SHOES ARE BETTER THAN LIGHT BULBS, AND I WOULD RATHER HAVE SHOES THAN A LIGHT BULB. I LIKE SHOES BETTER BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE SHOES YOU WOULD JUST BE WALKING AROUND BAREFOOT. YOU DON'T NEED LIGHT BULBS ANYWAY, YOU CAN BUY ONE CANDLE FOR 1$ AT THE STORE. PLUS IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHOES YOU COULDN'T GO AND GET A LIGHT BULB. A LIGHT BULB IS GOOD BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST WALK AROUND IN THE DARK ALL NIGHT. BUT YOU DON'T NEED A LIGHT BULB BECAUSE YOU CAN USE A CANDLE. THAT'S WHY SHOES ARE BETTER THAN LIGHT BULBS.

While I would probably argue that light bulbs are a better invention than shoes, I have to say that shoes' paragraphs were more persuasive. They did a good job addressing the arguments for the light bulb, but they gave many more reasons why shoes are important.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, my vote is for shoes.
I vote for Rashidah because she did really make me want to buy a light bulb and I just checked to see if I had any left I don't so im about to go and get some bye
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the arguments for the lightbulb over the shoes. Great job! I vote lightbulb.
ReplyDeleteI would also argue that light bulbs are a great invention, but the shoes were more persuasive because they made strong points on why we need shoes. Great job on all of these arguments/persuasions.
ReplyDeleteI must say Rashidah's argument was pretty strong and she brought up some great points, but I have to give my vote to the shoes people. They gave an alternative to light bulbs- candles. Whereas the light bulb group did not, saying you would just build calluses'. I liked the argument that you can not play sports without shoes. I guess, technically, you could, but it would not be safe. I am interested to see what brandon meant by "shoes can make you money". Great job everyone! Very persuasive pieces!
ReplyDeleteI see the light...the light bulb is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the shoes.
ReplyDeleteThe students did an excellent job in giving specific arguments about the importance of shoes and even contrasting those arguments with the light bulb. Furthermore, the students gave alternatives to light bulb. Finally, the students even thought outside the box, as with Brandon, in commenting that shoes actually make money, whereas, light bulbs cost money even in use.

I vote for Jessica..no reason!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, if that is the situation, I will choose light bulb also over a shoe. It is a brilliant choice.
ReplyDeletenice post, i like, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that I agree with the others and say that although I would probably pick a lightbulb based on my own knowledge the arguments for the shoes definitely persuaded me to vote for them. They made some really great points about shoes and why they are important.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this assignment and it sounds like the students did as well. I reference this blog in my own blog post that I have been writing for a class of my own. Here is the link http://facsandeducation.wordpress.com
Keep up the good work!
