FrankBl says, "where is everbody today"
Mr.Cole says, "Both are sources of information. But you might also want to look at them as arguments, in a way. The UGA Alcohol Ed. page has, for example, a very sentimental poem about someone killed by a drunk driver. Also, all of its links ar
e to organizations like MADD. Is that even-handed treatment of alcohol?"

ShannonMc says, "but I can't really say anything else"
Mr.Cole says, "Hmm. That's a little brief. What are you writing on?"
ShannonMc says, "I would be just adding fluff to it"
ShannonMc says, "well, I am targeting educators on why school should be technologically literate"
ShannonMc says, "all schools should have some sort of technology class in their curriculum"
ShannonMc says, "the only thing I can possibly think of is adding more quotes"
ShannonMc says, "other than that, I don't know what to do!"
Mr.Cole says, "Well, that's a pretty fruitful topic. One way to add length without adding "fluff" is to address counter-arguments. If you know how your opponents are likely to object, you can anticipate thhat and give your reasons why they woul
d be wrong."
ShannonMc says, "but that means I would have to change my intro paragraph\"
ShannonMc says, "can I just add a paragraph about why people may object"
ShannonMc says, "I guess I can say something about it briefly in my intro"
Mr.Cole says, "Sort of. You don't want to add and remove paragraphs like pieces of modular furniture. But yes, you can add a paragraph beginning, "Some people might argue that..." and explaining the potential objection and your response. "
ShannonMc says, "And then write a paragraph or two about it."
ShannonMc says, "that would be cool"
ShannonMc says, "thank you so much!"
ShannonMc leaves for the Two.
Mr.Cole says, "You may not need to do alot to the intro. If you have a good thesis it should be flexible enough to accomodate such additions."
