If you comment on an INTERESTING FACT explain how the fact your classmate provided either supports or goes against an energy drink ban.

2. Make sure that your name is by your response.

After completing steps 1-3, now you must take a stand. Think about the information you have been presented with and  do the following:

1. Write a statement arguing whether energy drinks should be banned. You may not use "I" statements (I think, I feel, I believe, etc.).

2. Write one piece of evidence that supports that statement. If you followed the steps, you should be able to use your response to "Step 3."

3. Make sure that your name is by your response.

Think about the stand you took in step 4. Now, imagine that you have been hired by a company and you are tasked with one of the following:

1. Reimagining the Energy Drink:  Energy drinks do have some redeeming properties--like giving a person that extra boost. Using your research and thinking about the stand you took, work together to put a positive spin on how people currently see energy drinks and sell your audience on that idea.

2. Consider an Alternative to the Energy Drink:  People use energy drinks to help them feel more active. Using your research and thinking about the stand you took, develop an alternative to the energy drink as we know it. You must sell this alternative to your audience.

Your Pitch Must:

Contain a hook for the audience (catchy song, art) that captures what your product does

Explain what the product does

Explain how it will benefit the buyer
