  4. Should Parents Read Teen’s Texts? What is the topic about? What is your opinion/views on the topic?

  5. Should Parents Read Teen’s Texts?

  6. Should Parents Read Teen’s Texts? Put your reasons in order of importance! Mark them on your rough draft. Reason 1 (Strong) Reason 2 (Weak) Reason 3 (Medium)

  7. Should Parents Read Teen’s Texts? Write your thesis statement (topic + reasons): Parents should read their child’s text messages because… Parents should not read their child’s text messages because…

  8. Attention Getter Ask a Rhetorical Question Should parents have the right to invade… If parents are the ones responsible for the care and well being of their child… Use Imagery Imagine someone reading your inner most thoughts and feelings without your permission. Spying on every word that you say… Use Generalizations Teenagers are already limited in their privacy as it is… Announcement Teens beware, parents… Try to use more than one, if you can!

  9. Background Information Should answer some and/or all of these questions about text messaging in general and the rights of parents and/or teens: WHAT is text messaging? WHEN can you text? WHERE can you text? WHY do you text (i.e. instead of talk, email, etc.)? HOW do you text? WHO do you text?

  10. Should Parents Read Teen’s Texts? Read aloud your introduction to your partner and correct any errors that you find as you read. Switch papers and correct your partners introduction for spelling, grammar, or word choice errors. Give them one content suggestion to help them improve their introduction, especially to help it flow.

  11. Body Paragraph(s)—3 Topic Sentence -Topic + reason Reason -Explain/define the reason Example -State topic and how it ties in with the thesis—give an example or examples! Analyze Quote/Example/Reason -Why is this example important to monitor or not to monitor? How does it affect teens and/or parents? Transition -Summarize your reason and lead into your next reason

  12. Transitions Transition -Summarize your current reason -Lead into your next reason Not only should parents monitor their teens text messages for inappropriate messages, but they should also check to see if their child is engaging in inappropriate behaviors.

  13. Transition Words Comparing -also, another, like, moreover, too, and just as, likewise, similarly Contrasting -although, however, instead, on the other hand, yet, but, in spite of, nevertheless, still Cause/Effect Relationship -as a result, because, consequently, for, for this reason, since, so, so that, therefore Order of Importance -first, last, mainly, more important, to begin with

  14. Body Paragraph Parents should read their teens text messages in order to see if their teen is receiving and/or sending inappropriate messages. In today’s society, teens communicate mainly through texting and that communication can include inappropriate messages such as sexting, picture messaging, and video messaging. For instance, it could be late at night and two teens are texting back and forth, when one teen asks for an inappropriate picture. Unable to say no and not understanding the repercussions, the teen sends a nude picture. While this picture may be harmless in the beginning, the situation can quickly spiral out of control. That picture has the ability to be forwarded to any number of people and can be uploaded on any site, including Instagram and Facebook. This picture is now all around school and for everyone to see on the internet. The insults and gossip begin and this teen has just ruined their reputation and compromised their image to be viewed as that kind of boy or that kind of girl. As a parent, if you were monitoring their text messages, you would have been able to intervene and stop the picture from being sent or received. You would know who they were talking to and when they were messaging, which might even make you think twice about allowing your teen to have their device at night or these features on their phone. Not only should parents monitor their teens text messages for inappropriate messages, but they should also check to see if their child is engaging in inappropriate behaviors.

  15. Body Paragraph-Acknowledge Other Side Topic Sentence: Topic + argument of the other side Now, some might argue that you should/should not read teen’s text messages. Reason: Give two examples that the other side argues They believe that it will lead to (example #1) and to (example #2). Example and Analysis: Downplay 2 arguments and counter them What they don’t understand is…This is true because… Transition: Go back to your side Monitoring teen’s text messages is…

  16. Conclusion Restate Topic and Thesis • Parents should/should not read teens text messages for many reasons including… Appeal to Reader/Relate to Life • Restate the question: Should parents read teens text messages? • Acknowledge the opposite side of the topic (i.e. Sure your teen would be happier if you didn’t meddle in their business, but…) • Describe future relationships between teens, parents, and others. • Describe what kind of person this would produce (see below)
