Timely Topic for Writing Four (Persuasive Writing)
Recently, the superintendent of the Clarke County School District asked the school board to adopt a dress code for every student in the district to follow. The school board will vote in early May on whether to enact the a student dress code proposal into policy. They have opened the forum for public input until the vote.
This proposal is much stricter than dress codes you may have seen in the past. Parents in the community are very supportive of this proposal, but teachers are not. How do you feel? This can be a great opportunity for you to make your voice heard about how you feel about this proposal. Do you think it will help students in the school district succeed, or do you think it does not matter. This is an issue that may directly affect you soon, and it is a great topic for persuasive writing.
You should have a rough draft finished by Thursday (April 10, 2008), and since that will be a double period, you should have a final draft ready by the end of the day. Let's send our final drafts to the Athens Banner Herald and Flagpole Magazine to see which ones get published. We may also choose to send final drafts to the board members themselves to read before they vote.
