Writing an Argument - Recess

Today in class we were learn to plan a balanced argument. We learned that when writing a successful argument we should be able to argue our view, as well as look at the opposite point of view. 

Today we looked at the argument: Recess should be longer.

Some clubs are at recess and a lot of clubs don't have time to finish their work - Mantaka

You will have more time to finish your homework at recess - Rafeed

Students have more time to finish their food - Abdul

You get to have more fun and play more - Shamail

More time to go to the washroom and get a drink - Samin

If students got recess taken away, they may still have time to go outside after their punishment. - Samin

In winter the longer you move the warmer you might get - Dagma

Reasons recess should be shorter:

People would complain less about the cold - Nazifa

People who don't like the cold won't have to stay out for as long - Rafeed

Less kids end up getting injured - Jawad

The kids who are lazy and don't want to play wants it to be shorter - Aryan

Some kids actually like doing work instead of recess - Shamail
