Here is the assignment:
Choose One Persuasive Writing Prompt
School Lunch Menu Needs Changing
Many students really do not like the contents of their school lunch. Parents pay for it because they feel their child will get healthy food and it is convenient for them to provide it. Yet, many students throw much of it out because they do not like the choices presented. You are to write a five-paragraph essay suggesting specific menu changes, explaining the advantages of changes plus the health and financial benefits of those changes.
School Uniforms
In many areas of the country, students in both private and public schools are required to wear school uniforms. Suppose that the school board of your district is considering have all students wear a uniform that is to be selected by a group of PTA presidents. You are to write a five-paragraph essay either supporting the idea or not supporting the idea of having to wear a school uniform. Remember that the outcome could hinge on the points that you bring up and explain. Think of both the benefits and the things that you feel might be less than advantageous. Which one of those positions has the greatest positive advantages? That is usually the easiest position from which to write. However, choose whatever side suits your real feelings.
Lengthening the School Day
The school board of your district is considering making the school day longer by adding an extra hour. The purpose for lengthening the school day is provide more time for instruction and practice in the existing school curricula. They believe that greater student achievement can be achieved by making the school day longer. They point out that there are experts in the field of education who agree with them. The school board is seeking input from all community members. Your job is to write a five-paragraph essay either for or against this idea.

The essay must be typed. Please use #12 fonts and double space. (This size)
The essay must be at least 25 sentences in length (a minimum of five sentences for each paragraph). EACH PARAGRAPH MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 100 WORDS. Be sure that your name, period, date, and teachers name are typed on the top right hand side of the page and that the correct title of the essay is typed at the top of the page. Do not use a title page or put your essay in a folder.
The Persuasive Essay Organizer is due on Thursday, October 16 at the beginning of class ( 20 Points).
A rough draft must be shown to your teacher on Thursday, October 23. Failure to show your teacher the rough draft will result in a deduction of ten points. The rough draft does not have to be typed.

Persuasive Essay Outline
Opening Paragraph – Introduction
The opening paragraph includes the thesis statement. The thesis statement states your
position. Within the paragraph you must also give three reasons that will support your
position.
Paragraph Two –Body 1
The topic sentence of this paragraph will include Reason #1 from your opening
paragraph. Use facts from the story and facts you have researched that will explain
reason #1.
Paragraph Three –Body 2
This will follow the same outline as Paragraph Two except that it will explain Reason #2.
Paragraph Four – Body 3
This will follow the same outline as Paragraph Two except that it will explain Reason #3.
Paragraph Five - Conclusion
This is the conclusion. Restate your position and your three reasons. Convince your
reader that your position is the correct one.
Persuasive writing attempts to convince the reader that the point of view or course of action recommended by the writer is valid. To accomplish this, the writer must develop a limited topic which is well defined and debatable, that is has more than one side. It is important that the author understand other sides of the position so that the strongest information to counter the others can be presented. In the essay, only one side of the issue is presented.
Like all kinds of five paragraph essays, there is a specific format to be followed.
• The topic sentence cannot be a fact as facts cannot be debated. It should be a statement of position. That position must be clear and direct. This statement directs the readers to follow along with your logic towards the specific stated conclusion that you want them to support. Do not make it personal so do not use personal pronouns. Make it definitive.
• Then, in the same introductory paragraph, state the three best reasons that you have to support your position as the remainder of the opening paragraph. These reasons become the topics of each of the three supporting paragraphs. Again, be sure they are able to be supported with additional separate facts.
• In the body of the essay, the writer uses specific evidence, examples, and statistics and not broad generalizations or personal opinions to persuade the reader that the stated position is a valid one. Each topic sentence for the support paragraphs have been introduced in the beginning paragraph. Each additional sentence must closely relate to the topic and the sentence that came before it. This way, the logic of the argument is easy to follow.
• Be sure to use adequate transitions between paragraphs as they make it easy for the reader to follow the logic of the presentation.
• As one closes the essay, it is most important to clearly redefine the topic and restate the most compelling evidence cited in original form. Remember, this is the last chance to remind the reader and convince him/her to accept the writer's position.
