THE BOYS' BRIGADE

Learning how to create a proper argumentative essay is one of the most useful skills a blossoming writer can learn, whether at the junior high, high school or even the college level. Constructing a good argumentative essay requires only a simple process and a few good ideas. The classic five paragraph structure works best for these essays. The first paragraph is the introduction and contains a good hook and a thesis statement. The hook grabs the attention of the audience and the thesis is a single sentence summary of the entire paper. The middle three paragraphs in the essay are body paragraphs and form the meat of the argument. Each paragraph should discuss a single point. The first sentence in the body paragraph should preview the point and the next three should support that point. The final sentence should be a transition to the next paragraph. The final paragraph in the essay should conclude the argument. This should feature a restated thesis, but also leave the reader with a final thought. Coming up with a good argument to write about is not difficult. The following is a list of topics to discuss in an argumentative paper Should downloaded music be combated with stiffer penalties or should the industry try to come up with alternate income sources? Should children be allowed to use cell phones in school or should their use be prohibited? Is the frequency of emails and text message making writing skills suffer? Is modern society too dependent on computers and automation? Should the government put more money into improving the electric car or improving gas engines? Should the tobacco industry be given more fines and penalties for their products? Should states have the right to make smoking illegal? Should drivers be prohibited from making phone calls while driving? Should sex education be a greater focus in public schools or is that a parents job?

There are so many argumentative essay topics. An argumentative essay should be on something you feel strongly about. Then you should argue your point of few to try to convice someone else. A great topic would be something political. People can become very argumentative over politics. Another great subject would a moral isssue. These are very easy subjects to argue.

Inclusion is an educational approach in which there is a commitment to educate each child in the classroom that he or she would normally attend. The inclusion approach to education is in contrast to the earlier practice in which children with learning disabilities were instructed in special classes separated from the mainstream classes. Federal law does not require inclusion at this point, but does strongly encourage this approach. There are opponents to inclusion, however, who argue that this approach is not in the best interest of student education.Inclusion opponents call attention to the potential problem of teacher availability in an inclusion classroom. Many teachers are not sufficiently trained to offer disabled students appropriate, specialized attention and care. Additionally, many teachers are already responsible for large classes of students and may not be able to devote extra time to one student without sacrificing instruction of the others. This could disrupt or hinder the education for the regular students, while at the same time failing to meet all of the learning needs of the inclusion student, thus resulting in a lower quality of education for all students involved. Inclusion opponents argue that it will be difficult to develop higher academic standards and improve the academic achievement of all students in such an environment and that educational quality may suffer.Another argument against inclusion is that the needs of some students may limit their ability to learn in a regular classroom environment. For example, students with attention disorders may not be able to properly focus on schoolwork and learning when the distraction of twenty-five classmates is constantly present. Students with hyperactivity disorders may be a distraction to other students if the teacher is not able to devote enough time and attention to the hyperactive student. Again, student performance and academic achievement may suffer for both the regular and inclusion students.
