Learning Standards
Many people use social networks -- including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter -- on a daily basis, but not everyone thinks that using them is a good idea. Some people think that social media is distracting, while others think that social networks connect users to new people and ideas.
Write an argumentative essay to one of the following assigned audiences:
