W.A.L.T... Write a persusive text. In literacy, we have a serial story named 'Posted' and every week we have an activity relating to the story. This week, our task was to write a persuasive text on 'Should cellphones should be banned from schools or not'. What I have found difficult was to back up my opinions with facts. Maybe next time I could add more information to my writing and to also add a complex sentences.
Should cellphones be banned in schools ? I think they should be.
In my personal opinion I strongly believe that cellphones should be banned at all schools. Many kids, think it's unfair for teachers to have their phones during class and not them. Most teachers have kids and they need to stay in contact with them. Teacher also could have moved from another country to teach, so they also have to stay in touch with their family.
Cell phones should be banned from school because they can be a huge distraction to the students during class time. Students not having their cell phones was originally a rule. It also ruins the students health. Students nowadays are kids sleeping in class because the night before they are up all night on their phone or texting.
Also cheating, cellphones in class could give children the chance to cheat on exams. In the U.S, around 33% students have used their cellphones to cheat in their tests. Cheating would not help children with their learning, in fact it would be wasting the teachers time on teaching when the students are going to cheat.
Over 43% teens around the world are getting cyberbullied in the works of cell phones. It is very horrifying to see students upset of what other students have put online about that person. Cyberbullying can also lead to suicide, depression and anxiety. Our generation is very bad because of the use of cellphones.
Therefore, that’s why I strongly believe that cellphones in all schools should be banned because it could become a distraction to the students, allow the students to cheat and could cause cyberbullying.
Hi Hingano,
ReplyDeleteI like how you included facts to support your opinion like when you used the sentence:Over 43% teens around the world are getting cyber bullied in the works of cell phones. I do really like your story it really gets your opinion over to other people and how serious having phones can be. maybe next time you could add sub titles to show what part of your opinion you are thinking about. other than that keep up the great work and effort :).
