Question
an you Summerize this in a way as if a kid year old wrote it make it simple! NARRATOR: Hi, I’m Annika. I’m a middle school student, and I’m considering adopting a vegan diet. It’s going to be hard, because I love chicken sandwiches and bacon mac and cheese, but I think I can do it. After all, I know that making this choice would help animals and the environment.
I’m not sure, however, if a vegan diet is healthy for a growing middle schooler like me. Before I discuss the idea with my parents, I’d better find out! . . . After doing some online research, I’ve learned that the question is controversial. Some articles argue that vegan diets are safe for children; others argue that vegan diets pose serious risks.
So I’m going to pick two articles with different points of view on the subject, and I’ll use them to make an informed choice about whether becoming vegan is something I want to do. That’s what Mr. Franklin, my English teacher, is always telling our class to do—make informed choices! I’ll make sure that both articles are from trustworthy sources. Then I’ll do some serious reading.
And now . . . I’m undecided! Both authors make good points—but which position is more convincing? When I mention this problem to Mr. Franklin, he suggests that using a graphic organizer could help me analyze the two texts more effectively. So I create a two-column chart in my notes, print out the articles, and grab some highlighters.
As I read through each text, I highlight the position, or claim, in one color and the reasons in another color. I record this information in the chart. Then I use yet another color to highlight the evidence that supports the reasons in each article. When I say, evidence, I mean, “statistics, expert opinions, and other facts.” I keep thinking, Is this evidence accurate, reliable, and free from bias?
When I examine the chart, I see that sometimes the authors interpret the facts differently. However, both authors urge potential vegans to learn about proper nutrition. . . . I’m going to do more research before I decide if I’m ready for such a big step.
Maybe I’ll look for information in different media, such as videos—and maybe even podcasts!

Hi, I’m Annika! I’m in middle school and thinking about being vegan, but it’s tough because I love chicken sandwiches and bacon mac and cheese. I want to help animals and the Earth, though!
I’m not sure if being vegan is good for kids like me, so I did some research. I found that some articles say it's safe, while others say it’s risky. To understand better, I’m going to read two articles with different opinions and write down what I find. My teacher, Mr. Franklin, taught me to make informed choices, so I’ll pick trustworthy articles.
I made a chart to compare the two articles. I highlighted what each author claims, their reasons, and the evidence that backs them up, like facts and expert opinions. I noticed that they both agree on one thing: if you want to be vegan, you have to learn about healthy eating!
Now I’m still not sure what to do, so I think I’ll do more research. Maybe I’ll watch videos or listen to podcasts to help me decide!
