Your first argument (Task)

1. Choose one of the following topics.
a) Students should be allowed to set their own rules
b) School promotes “correctness” over “creativity”
c) Scrap the CCTs

2. Decide whether you agree or disagree with the topic.

3. Create a new post on your blog. Start with your thesis statement (explaining your stand as derived in point 2), then continue with a 70-100 word paragraph arguing for your stand.

In this argument you should try to focus on one of the persuasive appeals. Remember what it was you'd attempted to focus on, but do not state which appeal was used within your blog post (i.e. allow the reader to make a guess on which was used).

I would like you to have done this by the next lesson (this Wednesday) so that I can give you further instructions on what to do.
