For this assignment, you will be writing an argumentative essay based on your chosen claim from the "Write an Argument: Editorial" packet. I will list the organization and instructions below. You will also submit your packet at the same time as your essay in this assignment submission box below. Prompt: What social or community problem do you think needs greater awareness?

Remember you are writing to raise awareness and not fix the problem.

Disclaimer

This is a timed writing essay so you will have from the beginning of class to the end of class, when the bell rings, to complete your work. You must submit before the beginning of the next class bell. In other words: If I have you from 10:31 am to 11:24 am then the latest you can submit is five minutes after the bell has rung, meaning 11:29 am, when the bell rings for the start of the next class period. That gives you 55 minutes total to work. If there are issues with technology or the internet I will deal with them as they arise. Otherwise, if your essay is not turned in on time I will take points off accordingly.

Remember! If you worked on your packet like you were supposed to then you should already have every piece you need to write your essay. If you didn't work on your packet then let me remind you that this is a summative test grade.

Good luck and God speed.

stop trying xD
