Description of a city at dawn

The sun reflected off of the tall buildings, off of the blue ocean, making it shimmer as the waves bounced lazily off of the sand. Dozens of alarm clocks went off, waking people, informing them that work was soon, and traffic slowly picked up, Starbucks flipped to open, and the occasional honk went off in downtown Miami. Early rising high schoolers hit the beach, running or getting morning surfing in. Walkers walking up and down the streets, tired, but ready to begin a long day.

  plan: i will begin with a quotation about the importance of unity in a community. then, i will state my claim that an activity will unite our school by creating a shared vision, purpose, and direction. in the body, i will use three main points that describe the different avenues the students can take: through a variety of clubs, through a special event, or through an awareness week. i will provide evidence about other towns that have unity activities and the kinds of events that they include. pictures will illustrate my three main points in action. for the ending, i will restate the main idea in a new way and pose a question to keep the audience thinking.
