Student A advocates for watching a horror film during the class sleepover, citing its suspenseful nature, thought-provoking themes, and ability to create shared experiences.
Their partner prefers documentary films, emphasizing their educational value and broader appeal. They agree to conduct a survey to gather classmates' preferences and make an informed decision.
For example:
My position is that we should watch a horror film together as a class. Horror films are exciting, unpredictable, and emotionally charged, providing a unique experience that brings the class closer.
Considering the interest of our peers, many enjoy the thrill of horror films, making it a popular and engaging choice. Additionally, it's an opportunity to explore a different genre, adding variety to our usual preferences. I believe the communal aspect of watching a horror film will create a memorable and bonding experience for the class.
