Assertion/Claim:

  • The Southeastern Conference is the strongest football conference.
Evidence/ Concrete detail:

Commentary 1: A team from the SEC has won the last 4 BCS National Championship games.
  • That means the other conferences that compete with the SEC are the opponent, and the SEC will always have a stronger league and win this game.
  • Many people think the the SEC Championship might as well be the National Championship because no other team can beat the SEC champion
Commentary 2: The SEC is very competitive from top to bottom.
  • The weaker teams in the SEC may look bad on paper because of there bad records, but are strong teams.
  • There is not a bye week in the SEC because every team has a chance to take down any team, so the top teams of the SEC lose quite often. Rarely will a team to go undefeated in the SEC, although Auburn did it this year.
Opposing Claims/They say:
  • Some other conferences feel like the SEC has an unfair advantage because they win the most overall sports national championships, they get all the best recruits.
My Rebuttal/ I say:
Although the SEC wins many National Championships, they are fifth overall to other major conferences in overall sports. Many other teams are successful in many other sports, so to say that is invalid.

My Thinking:
I like to think my paragraph has both inductive and deductive reasoning. This is because my paragraph contains many facts that cannot be argued so that means that the paragraph contains deductive. It also contains inductive because some of the points I argue are not exactly facts, so that is inductive reasoning.

Paragraph:
College football has been very competitive and has drawn football fans from everywhere the past few years but one conference is in a league of it's own. The SEC has won the las 4 BCS National Championships. That means the other conferences that compete with the SEC are the opponent, and the SEC will always have a stronger league and win this game. Many people think the the SEC Championship might as well be the National Championship because no other team can beat the SEC champion. The SEC is not only nationally dominant, but is competitive from top to bottom. The weaker teams in the SEC may look bad on paper because of there bad records, but are strong teams. There is not a bye week in the SEC because every team has a chance to take down any team, so the top teams of the SEC lose quite often. Rarely team to go undefeated in the SEC, although Auburn ran the table this year. Some other conferences feel like the SEC has an unfair advantage because they win the most overall sports national championships, they get all the best recruits. Although the SEC wins many National Championships, they are fifth overall to other major conferences in overall sports. Many other teams are successful in many other sports, so to say that is invalid.

Homecoming Week

Well this week was homecoming week, but there was no dance Friday after the game.

This week was still spirit week and stuff but there will be no dance this weekend, which is weird.

I think the dance should at least be on the same week as the homecoming game, and spirit week


The "Fall Formal" will be a week from Saturday. I don' t know if I will go. I think that we should just have the traditional "homecoming dance" and not change the dance like this.

Bullying

When I was younger, I was always the smallest kid in my class. One day one of the older kids picked on me, but after he cooled off he apologised. Bullying is when a person that is more power full than someone, whether it's physically or verbally, picks on the weaker one. Bullying is very easy to identify and needs to be stopped. People are bullied everyday. With the help of punishment and discipline, bullying can be stopped. Bullying can be done in more than one way, verbal and physical. It needs to be stopped.
