First Blog

My research topic and inquiry question that I will be researching about is, Is tap water good or bad for you. When watching that short video in class about health a few weeks they listed that down under health issues. I grew up knowing tap water was better for you than regular bottled water but that video said otherwise. I didn't finish watching the rest of the video but I really just wanted to learn more about tap water. I think this is very important to my health because I drink a lot of water and when I'm home I drink a lot of tap water while at school I drink only bottled. I would really like to learn more about it and where it comes from and what is in it that makes it bad. I am wondering if when I research that keeping the water clean will be a problem because of rain run off of the roads into the water will contaminate it or boating on it or fish being in it. I think it will be hard to research before because I am supposed to pick one side not both. I think it would be easier to write about both. Could I do that or do I need to persuade you as if it was a persuasive essay?

  1. Anthony - great topic! You will be writing two essays after we do the annotated bib: a 3-sided essay in which you explore 3 viewpoints, and then you will formulate your own argument in the next essay. However, arguments are rarely "black and white," or "for and against" arguments; they're more complicated than that. In short, I think this will be a great topic.
