Students need to be able to make a great argument to find success at school, and in many professions. They need to come up with an idea, find evidence, analyze their evidence, and tie it all together with a well-written bow. Thus, for many decades, students have written essays. We've taught them to write thesis statements, organizing sentences, transitions, topic sentences, and conclusions. We've taught them how to punctuate their quotations and how to analyze them. We've typed up fixes for common errors, guided peer editing workshops, created revision stations, and so much more to help them write better essays. Then they go home. And so often they just don't see the relevance of their essays to their lives. They see argument all around them - in the children's books they read their little siblings, the political ads on Youtube, Instagram carousels on big issues, polarized podcasts playing in the background of their lives, infographics hither and yon, Tik-Tok videos trying to convince them to dump their gummy bears in Sprite and stick it in the freezer, and in a million other places. So what if, mixed in with our essays, we pushed students to NOTICE how argument surrounds them. To learn from new ways ideas are shared and supported, outside the traditional essay sphere. Today's request for this summer's “Plan My Lesson” series comes from a teacher looking for ways to practice argument that don't revolve around an essay. This is a fun one for me, because I've designed SO many projects like this. But it's also challenging, because I've designed so many projects around this! I'd like to give you about 50 ways to practice argument without an essay, and I probably could. We could get into designing literary food trucks and arguing for each detail as a reflection of the book, hexagonal thinking for argument, designing infographics, recording podcasts, holding mock trials, creating visual research carousels to argue for an issue, real-world quick prompts with real-world audiences, argument one-pagers... honestly, there are so many ways to go. But we've covered a lot of this on the pod already, and we have just ONE class period to plan here. So instead of diving back into one of these topics, let's explore a new one - using children's books to search out fresh craft moves when it comes to argument. Today we'll explore one lesson in which students see how an author can combine visuals, humor, argument, and counterargument to make a clear, persuasive case on an issue. Sure, to children. But the same rules could apply for any argument! After exploring some fabulous mentor texts, students will try it out for themselves, focusing on the hesitations of their audience (or in other words, counterargument).

Matchbox Twenty – "Unwell" Atlantic; 2003 3.2By: Dax Mumberson, Pitchfork ContributorThere are songs that define an era, and then there's “Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty—a song that limply gestured at defining something before retreating back into a GAP sweater of its own design. Released in 2003, but spiritually 1998, “Unwell” is a murky broth of acoustic sincerity, radio-safe angst, and the sonic equivalent of a lukewarm Sprite left on the counter at your divorced dad's condo.Frontman Rob Thomas—America's reigning monarch of bland competence—delivers a performance that screams, “I'm sad, but like, in a relatable, post-TRL way.” His voice trembles with a vague vulnerability that makes you think, “This man has probably stared out a rainy window, but only during a sponsored VH1 special.” The lyrics read like therapy Mad Libs: “I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell” is the kind of line that makes your aunt nod solemnly and say, “That's deep,” while clipping coupons for gluten-free Oreos.Musically, the track is as adventurous as a mayonnaise sandwich. A plodding acoustic guitar trudges along next to a drumbeat that sounds like it was generated by a coffee machine having an existential crisis. The whole thing feels like it was designed by a focus group of 36-year-olds who just discovered feelings and are very tired.It's not that “Unwell” is bad in the way that, say, an active crime scene is bad—it's more that it's aggressively beige. It is the sonic equivalent of that one IKEA lamp you forget you own until it catches fire. It's a musical shrug. A warm sigh in cargo shorts. A song that says, “Hey, we might not be okay, but at least we're doing it in khaki.”And yet, somehow, this song slaps. But only if you're in a dentist's chair, high on nitrous, pondering every life choice that brought you to this point.TL;DR: If adult contemporary were a medical condition, “Unwell” would be the symptom, the diagnosis, and the follow-up email confirming your next appointment.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

STAYradio Episode #272 features guest Astonish from Arizona.
First up, we plunged headlong into our unofficial Horror Olympics, pitting the recycled slasher spectacle Halloween H2O against the gore-fuelled insanity of Terrifier. Los, my co-host and fellow horror heathen, came in hot with his predictable picks: masked maniacs, jump scares on demand, and “classic” kills that he swears “stand the test of time.” Meanwhile, I defended my unorthodox torchbearers—Disturbia, that suburban teenage thriller where Shia LaBeouf proves you don't need a chainsaw to feel hunted, and Ready or Not, the wildly inventive house-of-cards satire where wedding night turns into lawn-chair carnage. I laid out my argument that clever setup and character-driven tension beat thirty seconds of gratuitous forehead-stabbing any day, and Los grudgingly admitted that yeah, maybe I'm onto something—though he reserves the right to scream “that's so 2004” in my face.Apple's WWDC: When “Liquid Glass” Means “Blinded by the Future”Next, we jumped into Apple's annual pep rally—WWDC 2025—where they unveiled “liquid glass” as if we all suddenly cranked our devices through Drano and into a Black Mirror episode. I recapped the parade of translucent iPhones and speculated that next year we'll be holding our MacBook Air by firelight, because who needs a screen when you can have “milky clarity”? We tore into how Siri is still a glorified paperweight despite promises of AI wizardry, and why the average consumer probably won't care until iOS 26 auto-transforms their phone into a sentient sidekick that orders pizza for them. Los and I marveled at Vision Pro's new “polar vortex mode,” which literally chills your eyeballs to deliver immersion—but at the cost of your retinas. Moral of the story: Apple might soon merge hardware and hallucination, but they still can't figure out why we ask Siri to set alarms and it replies “Good luck with that.”TikTok Ban Scare Round… Whatever This IsIn political theater news, yet another TikTok ban scare is slated for June 19th—cue the gnashing of teeth and frantic downloader guides. I explained why this one's more PR stunt than policy: no executive order on the horizon, just another Washington soundbite designed to keep us distracted while they debate farm subsidies and military spending. Rumor has it Elon Musk weighed in—between tweets about Dogecoin dips—but I assure you, the app empire isn't crumbling (yet). So don't uninstall: keep those 15-second dance routines and cat lip-syncs flowing.TikTok's Jay Renshaw: The “Chit” Series That Actually ChitsSpeaking of TikTok, I fell down the rabbit hole of Jay Renshaw's “Chit” series—videos titled things like “Golf Chit,” “Wedding Chit,” and my personal favorite, “Corporate Chit.” This guy somehow distills every cringe corporate ritual into sub-30-second vignettes that feel like airport bathroom graffiti come to life. I shared my top picks and why, if you need a crash course in humanity's most bizarre habits, this is your masterclass. Warning: you may start narrating your own life with dramatic “Chit” captions—totally normal.Wedding DJ Confessional: When Photographers Duel with CaffeineIn a rare “real life” detour, I recounted my latest gig—spinning tracks at a wedding reception where the photographer, fresh from a bout of over-caffeination, chugged three cans of Hard Mountain Dew thinking it was Sprite. I described the ensuing dad-dance chaos as his shutter finger trembled like a seismic sensor. The bride and groom thought it was performance art. I thought it was a liability. Congratulations to Deb and Kev for capturing every jittery shot of Uncle Bob's twerking meltdown.Joe Exotic for President? Biden's Surprising Pardon PitchOn the political front, we dove into Joe Biden's off-the-cuff suggestion to free Joe Exotic—and no, I'm not making this up for clicks. ..

Send us a textWhat happens when two friends with the same name tackle bizarre food combinations and debate the perfect pizza? Pure podcast magic.This episode begins with a taste-testing adventure sampling the questionable limited-edition Beer Can Chicken flavored Pringles that leave one Nora gagging while the other surprisingly doesn't mind the bouillon-cube-like flavor. They follow this culinary experiment with Sprite mixed with iced tea—a strange beverage that separates in your mouth, hitting you with fizzy lemon-lime before transforming into tea. This leads them down a rabbit hole of unusual food trends, including the emergence of cereal milk cocktails where bartenders are infusing spirits with everything from Captain Crunch to Fruity Pebbles.The conversation shifts to our mutual love of pizza, where we discover that 21% of Americans consider it their favorite food. We dive deep into regional styles—from the crispy, square-cut Chicago thin crust to foldable New York slices and artisanal wood-fired options. Personal preferences emerge: one of us orders "easy cheese" while the other draws a firm line at Hawaiian pizza ("Keep your fruit away from my pizza!"). We explore pizza's humble beginnings among Naples' working poor in the 17th century, trace its journey to America's first pizzeria in 1905, and share the surprising fact that pizza has even made it to space.Whether you're a foodie, a parent, or just someone who appreciates authentic conversation, join us as we find humor, comfort, and friendship in life's small moments—and debate whether cold pizza for breakfast is genius or sacrilege.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!
