Paper, Plastic, or Neither?

 
Imagine going to the grocery store and NOT hearing the question, "Would you like paper or plastic?" The longstanding debate over whether to use plastic or paper or neither is an issue we will be tackling over the next several weeks.  Students will be learning how to do the following:
  • Write persuasively.
  • Research and gather information to support ideas.
  • Form opinions.
  • Make decisions.
  • Plan
  • Inspire
  • Debate

  1. I vote on Re-usable bags because Plastic can HARM animmals and paper is hard to ship and re-use so i think Re-Usable bags win.
