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.

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.
