Nico A 5/6B said...

I asked for a Wii. Not only because it would cure a new but potentially dangerous disease called Wii-osis that I'd recently aquired, but my best reason was that I would learn valuble life lessons about earning and spending money. I didn't actually really want one, so all my parents said afterward was "Good job." I liked this activity and thought it was well thought out, because it used a lot of the elements that we learned in the communication unit - and we got to get something we wanted. Mostly the second reason. Overall, it was really fun.

Micaela C-LRT 7/8B said...

I asked for a new Ipod. The best reason I provided was that I would use it when I run. My parents didn't really comment on whether or not I would get it or not. This was a good activity because it was kind of like the first step to giving a speech: giving one to your parents

McKenzie L said...

caitlin r-lrt 7/8B said...

I asked for my teeth to be proffesionaly whitened. The best reason that I provived was that it whitens more and stays white longer than whitening strips. I gave the speech to my dad, and he said that he didn't know, and that he wanted to talk to my mom. He says this to everything i ask for. This was a good activity because it gave me a chance to come up with good arguments, and they had to listen to you.

I asked my parents for a new cell phone. My best reason was that my old one was starting to fall apart, and it might not work when I really needed it. My parents said yes, because they thought that I posed a very insightful argument. I think this was a good activity, because it taught us how to ask for something in a mature and reasonable way.

Sam W-LRT 7/8B said...

I asked for an Xbox 360, my best reason was that I was so responsible that I could handle it. My parents kept telling me to ask them later, I dont know why they kept telling me to ask them later considering it was homework. I thought that this activity was good because not only did I get to say why I am so great but also I got to ask for something super cool.

JustinN-LRT 7/8B said...

In my parent persuasive speech, I asked to stay up later. The answer, sadly, was no. I thought that the best reason i gave was that it would give me more time to do any unfinished homework. My parents said no because I am a very bad morning person and they thought that staying later was a very bad thing. I thought that it was a good activity because it helped me work on my public speaking.

bretts-lrt 7/8b said...

I asked my dad to buy an icecream shoppe but my dad didn't really answer he just filled out the sheet. My best reason was problably when i said i could work there and it would teach me responsibility. I guess this activity was fine and it was 25 easy points.

KirstineNN-lrt78B said...

In the activity, I asked for my parets to move the downstairs TV into my room. The best reason I provided, was that hten I could keep quite when they had friends over or just wanted me out of their hair! Unfortanitly though, they said no. They said this, because they thought that if I had the TV in my room, it would take away from our time as a familly. I thought this was a good activity, because as Mr. Buckley said "It gives us a way to ask for something we want, and our parents HAVE to listen! It also helped to improve our communication skills.

Camille P 5/6B said...

I asked my dad to buy and rent out a house. I said that we could make a good profit. He said maybe because he has to look into it more. I like the activity because we got to try to get something we wanted.

Hannah H-1/2 A said...

I asked for a new cell phone. My best reason provided was that I am very responsible with high value items. My parents said that i would most likely get one for christmas if I kept up the good work (they thought it was weird to get me a new phone randomly). I thought this was a great activity because we were able to ask for something that we wanted, using very persuavsive skills.

Katybeth B-1/2 A said...

I asked for them to pay for half a laptop. The best reason I provided is that the computer in my room totally sucks. My dad said maybe. He didn't have a reason for his answer. This was not a good activity because I said so.

Caroline W-1/2 A said...

I asked for the dress manikin from Pottery Barn Teen. My best reason was for me to be able to express my creativity. My parents didn't really say anything. I think it might be a maybe, but they didn't give a real answer. I don't know why they did or didn't say I could have the manikin. I thought this activity was ok, because it showed you how to prepare a persuasive speech.

Kalyna R-1/2A said...

I actually switched my speech from asking for a cellphone to asking for texting back. My best reason was because texting is faster than talking: if you need to go somewhere fast, you can send a message and go. My parents said no right after I finished my speech, but my mom said that she would think about it. I think they thought that if I got my texting back, I would go way over my allowed number like last time. I thought this was a really good activity because it gave us more practice with writing and delivering speeches.

Michaela G said...

1. Sidekick
2. I could go on the internet and not use my home computer. And it wouldnt be as likely to cause porblems on our computer because I would only use it for school perposes.
3. They said they would think about it. They arent 100% for it because I would be on it a lot.
4. I think it was a good activity because it gives us a good oprotunity to work on our speech and communatication skills.

Danielle S-1/2A said...

I asked for an allowence. The best reason I gave was, I would start saving up money for a 1993 convertable for my first car. My parents havn't said anything yet, but hopefully it will be yes! This activity was great because we got to practice talking infront of an audience. And we also got to ask for something that we've wanted for a while. :-D

Renee J said...

1. I asked for a raise in my allowance.
2.My best reason was that my parents would save money by just giving me a monthly allowance instead of just handing out money.
3. My parents said that they would think about it and let me know later.
4. They said that because they were busy and needed time to make their decision.
5.I think this was a good activity because it helped me practice proving a point.

Michael N-1/2A said...

I asked for a tv in my room. The best reason i provided was that it was for entertainment. My parents said yes. The reason they said yes was that they were ganna get a new tv in their room and i could have their old one. this was a good activity since I could ask for somthing and they would listen.

Chris B.-1/2A said...

I asked for more TV time. The best reason I provided was that I ride the bus 2:30 to 3:00 hours a day, and I need to relax.My parents said yes, and gave me 1 hour longer than what it is now. They said yes, because they noticed that I wanted it so they said yes. Yes, this was a good activity, because my mom said a lot of advice for doing this stuff.

Thanks,
Chris

My speech results
1) I asked to go on a shrt vacation to an unknown destination for a few days to take a break from school.
2) the best reason I provided was that I work really hard at school and I get really stressed out, so I sometimes need a break from the overwhelming work for health reasons.
3)My parents did not respond, but they will eventually.
4)(no answer, no reason)
5)I think this was a good activity because we got to practice giving a speech which will come in handy someday. Also, I had to learn how to focus while giving my speech because my dad kept making faces while I was talking but then my mom caught him and he had to stop...

1.I asked for an allowance.
2.My best reason was that I wouldn't have to ask for money when I go out with my friends.

I asked for a cell phone. The best reason I could think of is that I might be that i could get in an emergancy and I need to get a hold of someone. My parents said no.

Taylor A-LRT 5/6A said...

I asked for a laptop computer.
My best reason was because someone is always on our family computer and my sister got one in 8th grade.
They said maybe at christmas time, so thats pretty much a yes. I thought this was a good activity because it taught us how to communicate better.

I asked for a new cell phone and to switch cell phone companies. The best reason I provided was that my phone calls people by itself, therefore making the phone bill go up, so my parents would have to pay more money. My parents said maybe later. The reason for that was that my phone still works most of the time and they said that I don't need a new one yet. I think this is a good activity because it helps teach you how to give a persuasive speech.

I asked for allowance. My parents said maybe. The best reason I had was that then I could save up for all the other stuff i want/need (because i dont have time to babysit or anything). they dont know yet. This was a good thing to do for HW because we could ask for something that we wanted, and we would sound better asking for it.

I asked for a MySpace. The best reason I provided was that it would allow me to socialize with all my friends and not feel left out. My parents said maybe later because you're technically suposed to be 18 to have one. I think that this was a good activity because let us practice giving a speech without having to do it for the whole class. It also allowed us to ask for something we wanted and work on giving good reasons for why we should have it.
