My Learning Goal
Goal: I can look at both sides of a big argument and write strong reasons FOR (why it's a good idea) and AGAINST (why it's a bad idea) to have Daylight Streams.
What’s the Big Deal? (The Blurb)
What’s the Big Deal? (The Blurb)
Daylighting streams is the big deal! It basically means taking a creek or river that was buried under concrete or buildings decades ago, digging it back up, and letting it flow out in the open again.
Your Writing Mission: The Great City Debate
Your Writing Mission: The Great City Debate
Step 1: Write the "YES!" Reasons (Arguments FOR)
Step 1: Write the "YES!" Reasons (Arguments FOR)
Write down your best arguments for daylighting streams.
PRO (Unbury the Stream!) Bring back nature and stop city flooding!
Less Flooding: Dirt and natural banks soak up crazy rainstorms way better than old, rusty metal pipes under the street.
Cools the City: Concrete traps heat, but water and plants act like a giant natural air conditioner.
Instant Park Vibe: Turning a concrete alley into a running creek gives everyone a spot to hang out, skate next to, or relax.
Wildlife Comeback: Fish, birds, and bugs actually have a home again instead of a dirty pipe.
Step 2: Write the "NO WAY!" Reasons (Arguments AGAINST)
Step 2: Write the "NO WAY!" Reasons (Arguments AGAINST)
Write down your BEST arguments against daylighting streams.
If you're AGAINST daylighting:
Focus on real life right now. Argue that cities should fix schools or
build housing instead of throwing millions at digging up roads and causing traffic jams for years.
Step 3: Make Your Final Choice!
Step 3: Make Your Final Choice!
