Hi 8th Graders,
In case you misplaced your article, here's a link to the anchor text we'll be basing our first go at a position paper rough draft on. Remember, you're going to argue whether role-playing games with simulated violence are perilous or diverting for kids. You get to define perilous or diverting; some examples we talked about in class are:
perilous: dangerous or harmful (mentally? physically? morally?)
diverting: distracting, entertaining, teaches valuable lessons
Come tomorrow with rough bullet-point "outline" -- we'll work on organizing and refining as a part of this unit, so just your ideas for tomorrow is great!
-Mr. Radich
