ESSAY #3 ARTICLES

For essay number 3 I have chosen 3 articles that will help me to support my point of view on the effects of rap and heavy metal on teenagers. The first article is from the WebMD Health News and it involves a study that is related to my topic. It will be very usefull to my essay because it can help to provide support to the counterargument. Another article that I have found is from HealthDay Reporter. This is also another article that will help support my counterargument. It will also help with my regular argument because it supports my point of view on the topic. The last article that I found is called Effect on Mood Aggression, Suicide, Drug Use and Intelligence. This article gives both sides of my argument, the counterargument and my view on it. This will be very useful. I apologize for not having the website addresses I can not use the internet.

COHERENT PARAGRAPHS

The text says that “using appropriate transitional expressions, using pronouns, using deliberate repetition of a key word, and using parallel structures” are the ways that are important to writing coherent paragraphs. These apply to my essay because I need to write five to seven pages about one topic and repeating things isn’t an effective essay. Also, pronouns will help to keep my essay interesting.

THREE SOURCES

http://www.momsinc.biz/blog/family_life/allowing-cell-phones-in-schools/
This website helps explain a lot in my essay. I got a lot of my information from a mother’s point of view from this site. This helps to make my point to my intended audience which is the school administration. Seeing an adults point of view on cell phones in school is much more influenced than a student’s point of view.
http://www.schoolsecurity.org/trends/cell_phones.html
A quote I have written in my essay to state my thesis is taken from this website. The quote helps to determine what my view on cell phones being allowed in school is. The site also gave me information on how to put together a counter argument to my argument.
http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18053727&brd=1699&pag=461&dept_id=46371&rfi=6
This website gave me examples to support my views. It shows the story’s of bomb threats in different schools in Ohio which supports the view I have on safety of students in school. It also is used to show a counter argument.
