Monday, December 19 - Persuasive Essay Conclusion
Objective: By the end of class, students will complete their persuasive essays in order to improve their writing skills.
DO NOW
Get chrome book and continue to work on persuasive essay. Be sure that you have one quote (from a source that you referenced by using EASYBIB.COM) in each of your body paragraphs. Remember, one body paragraph focuses on emotional appeal and the other, logical appeal. After the quote in the paragraph, put the title of the source, or the author's last name (if there is one), after it in parentheses ().
Direct Instruction
In your conclusion, restate your position and address the opposing argument. This means you should show the reader that you are aware that another viewpoint exists, but yours is better or "right."
Example of a conclusion for my essay that suggested social media causes isolation:
With the expansion of social media as a form of information and communication, it is easy for an individual lacking interpersonal skills to isolate themselves. Some may argue that this is not true; that social media can help connect one with past friends or enable them to meet new people that have similar interests. Although this may be true, rarely, does the individual extend these relationships beyond the computer and meet with them face-to -face. Human interaction is necessary to build healthy relationships and the excessive use of social media inhibits and interferes with these possibilities.
If you need more detailed instruction, look back at last week's blogs....

Social media is an outlet for people that are uncomfortable in face to face situations. It is easy to communicate without looking someone in the eye and probably a relief to many that fear human interaction. This seems obvious when I see people at restaurants; they are not even talking to each other. Rather they are on their phones."Social media has dramatically changed our ability to stay focused on what’s going on immediately around us and lets us “escape” and instantly go “elsewhere”. In social settings if things become awkward or uncomfortable, we often seek solace in social media," ("5 Ways Social Media Contributes to Social Isolation').

Example Prompt:
Does Facebook (or other forms of social media) create isolation? Facebook lets people stay connected and meet new friends, yet some argue people spend so much time on social media that they lose contact with real life.
Thesis Statement:
Logic has proven that excessive use of Facebook has a negative impact on individuals because they lose touch with reality and isolate themselves which can result in negative physical and emotional effects.
Anecdote to go with my thesis:
I used to go to the gym every day after school. Not only did it keep me in shape, but I met a lot of great people. Sometimes we would hang out afterwards and get smoothie and share ideas about working out and healthy eating. But then, I got addicted to social media.
