Assignment 15 What's Your Opinion?

One big reason that blogging is so popular is because people love to give their opinions. On blogs you will find people's opinions about The Giants going to the Super Bowl, about if Obama is a good president, or if a cup cake recipe is any good. Your blog is a great place to state your point of view. 


Your opinion is important to you and you would like others to agree with you, right?  A good way to get people onto your side is to persuade them by adding some facts and information that help support your viewpoint. That gives some weight to your opinion.

1. DIRECTIONS- Choose at least one of the topics on the list. Decide if you agree or disagree. Clearly state your opinion about it and give all the reasons you think the way you do.
2. Then do an Internet search and find someone or some article posted that agrees with you. Give the facts and quotes you find as evidence that adds strength to your opinion.
