Reaction Writing

In your next blogging assignment, I'd like you to view the two video links below which explore both sides of a controversial issue we will focus on in class next week. When you view the videos, ask yourselves the following questions:



What is the issue? What are the sides of the issue? How do the producers use the video footage in a persuasive way? Did it work? Which side do you support? Why??



You should complete this assigment for Tuesday. Please reaction exploring the above questions but in paragraphs - in other words, no one word/two word answers. We will discuss the content of these videos in class. I apologize in advance because they will trigger an emotional reaction in some of you who are sensitive to the topic, but isn't that the point of a debate?
