From the list of topics that you chose in the Warm-Up, narrow your topic ideas and choose one topic that you feel strongly about. Once you have selected a topic, you are going to engage in writing a persuasive essay.  This writing must be a minimum of five paragraphs that are structured based on what you learned about in this topic. Please make sure you follow the proper structure for writing a persuasive essay. Remember that before you do any writing, you must conduct research. It is also helpful to outline your writing; this ensures that you will not miss any components.

Before you begin, access the Persuasive Essay Rubric to make sure that you include all of the items required for full credit. You may need to use resources outside of this course to complete this assignment. If so, please submit a Works Cited document.  If you need assistance, visit the Developmental Module for information on citing any resources that you used.

Once you have completed your essay, please submit your assignment to the dropbox.
