I think that the two articles provided a good example on how to write an argument. “Children Need to Play, Not Compete” demonstrated a good way to show the side you take. She had a lot of credible sources that made her story seem legitimate. The “Stick and Stones and Sports Team Names” at first made me feel bad because I’m from Cleveland! haha. But, I believe that it demonstrated how to take a stand while also recognizing the other side of the argument which is something that I need help in.
