Claim, counterclaim, rebuttal - pd 7 by Mary Kate Lubawski https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo en-us 2014-10-08 14:07:08 UTC 2021-05-11 18:43:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Mia and Lucas https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514739475 Homework should be banned because it increases stress levels in students. Overall,  the cons outweigh the pros.

Counter claim: People who are in favor of banning homework do believe that it increases stress, but with homework, it can further increase education levels.

Rebuttable: While it does increase your educational levels, you have already dedicated majority of your day to school and while it still does increase your stress levels it takes away family time, and cease the amout of time for physical activity. ]]> 2021-05-11 18:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514739475 Ryan, Willem, and Eli https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514743414 2021-05-11 18:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514743414 Aidan, Mia D, Alec https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514745733 Pepperoni is the best pizza topping because it is very popular.  This is proven by the amount of pepperoni pizzas served at birthday parties.  For example, at places at Pump It Up, the default pizzas chosen are cheese pizzas and pepperoni pizzas.  This proves that it is the best topping on a pizza.

Counterclaim:  It might seem like pepperoni is the best pizza topping, however opponents argue that pepperoni is very unhealthy for you.  Pepperoni actually increases the chances for you to get cancer.  This proves that more healthy options like mushrooms are the better pizza topping.

Rebuttal:  While it might be true that pepperoni is unhealthy for you, the frequency of consuming pepperoni is actually quite low. The amount of pepperoni you will likely consume on pizzas will not impact your chances to get cancer as much as people think it will.]]> 2021-05-11 18:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514745733 Ryan, Willem, and Eli https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514808268
Claim: Video games are healthy because it boosts a section of your brain in charge of musicality and creativity.

Counterclaim: Video games are harmful because they cause high stress levels which makes people lose their patience easily.

Rebuttal: Even though that is a valid point, over time people who play video games learn to cope with high levels of stress and emotion and teach themselves to stay calm.]]> 2021-05-11 18:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514808268 Reece P and Gwen 22gwendolynb https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514815417 Claim: vests are very cool because they keep you warm without covering your full body in heavy material. They are just the right things to keep you comfortable without causing you to feel too cold or warm. Along with keeping you warm, , life vests keep you from death. A simple decision to wear a vest could keep you from feeling uncomfortable or even death. 
Counterclaim: vests are not practical because they only warm up your chest and back, keeping you limbs still cold. Many people believe that vests wont keep you warm at all.
Rebuttal: although some believe vests dont provide enough warmth, that is false because the abdomen is the center point of the body and if that is warm it will spread to the rest of you.

Thank you for listening to out TedTalk.]]> 2021-05-11 18:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514815417 Emily, Owen, Reece https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514815556 Our claim is in person field trips are better than virtual field trips because you can never get the full experience by looking at a slideshow. 

A common counterpoint is that it takes a lot of time, and costs a lot of money, as you have to pay for the bus, and driver, and a supervisor. You also need parents to volunteer.  

Others may say that it is to expensive. Well we disagree we believe that the experience is worth the expense. No pictures will make it real.

Summer is far superior to fall because, the weather is warmer, you can spend more time with friends, there’s no school, you can do more diverse recreational activities, and you have a more flexible schedule.....
CounterClaim:
Many people believe that the weather is actually better in fall, it is more neutral allowing for more time outdoors, the scenery is nicer, you dont have to buy new clothes because of the neutral weather, and there are many activities that you can exclusively do in fall....
Rebuttal:
Although fall is good, you can do more diverse and flexible activities in the summer. Even though the fall weather is very neutral, summer still holds onto activities like swimming, sailing, and other aquatic activities.....

Counterclaim: a common counterclaim is while everyone has more access to information, they can also be exposed to more false and biased information.
Rebuttal:  This is an understandable concern however you can still find false information in other resources such as books additionally this teaches people to find and research unbiased and accurate data. This is a very useful skill, Overall you have a broader resources to access information.]]> 2021-05-11 18:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pomegranate/wva6hamqcbbo/wish/1514819589
