Journal #10- Brach's Star Brites mints

I think Mr. Langley should bring Brach's star Brites mints to class on Wednesday.  There are many apparent advantages to having mints in class.  The first is that it gives you good smelling breath.  If someone forgot to brush their teeth that morning, it would provide an opportunity to have better smelling breathe for the rest of the day.  It can also take the place of gum, which can be very messy when people are irresponsible.  Hard mints like these provide the perfect substitution for other candies that make breathe smell better.

 Another reason why we should have Brach's star Brites mints is it can keep the excess talking to a minimum.  Students will be too busy sucking on their mints, that they will not talk to each other during class.  This will help keep everyone on task, and much more will be accomplished during the course of the hour.  This can also play a factor into keeping the students from thinking about lunch.  With a mint to eat, students will not be as anxious to get out of class and to the lunch room.  This will provide a better thinking environment for the class.

We should bring Brach's Star Brites mints to class because it provides an chance to prove that high schoolers can be trusted with food in class.  Often times teachers do not give us food because they think we will make a mess and not clean it up.  By having mints, it gives us a chance to prove that we are responsible students and will clean up our garbage after we are done.  A final reason why we should have Brach's Star Brites mints next class is because we have successfully argued our point.  We deserve these mints because we understand the importance of persuasive arguments and the benefit that it can have.
