A 2005 study published in “Psychology of Music” found that workers who listened to music while working had a higher productivity than those who did not. A reasonable explanation relates to the fact that music puts students in a better mood and therefore increases their motivation. Resource: – build your reasoning by using this to convince your audience. Explain your evidence!- An explanation that links a piece of evidence to the stance so it’s persuasive If high school students were allowed to listen to music while working independently, they would use their time more wisely. Students, who are less likely to work well without music, will work better and in turn, complete class work more frequently. Listening to music independently means that students are less likely to bother classmates as well. Of course, the level of the music must not be disruptive to others and students must respect that their device is solely to be used for music only. If these ideas are considered, students should be able to listen to music while working independently.
