Home Learning - Due Thursday, 4/12

For homework, you are responsible for writing a discursive/argumentative essay (600-900 words) about one of the following prompts:

1.  "The Olympic Games are a complete waste of money and should be abolished." What do you think--and why?
2.  Write a magazine article called "Looking Good and Feeling Good," in which you explore how teenagers can lead a healthy and active lifestyle, and why they should. 
3.  "Social networking sites--such as Facebook and Twitter--do more harm than good."  What do you think--and why?
4.  At a school debate called "The School Leaving Age" two speakers each present their views.  One is in favor of lowering the leaving age, the other is in favor of making it higher.  Write the two speeches (between 300-450 words each).

Your writing must accurately and substantially answer the prompt and it must convey a strong command of the English language! 
We will use these in class on Thursday, so come prepared!  I expect no less than 100% completion!  :o)

See you Thursday!  I missed you all today!  :o)
