Short Class	Decide on your topic for Writing Asn. #8.

Asn. #8 Prompt, Rule, Rules, Rules!
Living without rules is called anarchy. At first glance this would seem like the ultimate freedom. However, with absolutely no boundaries to follow, people wouldn't complete the very essentials of life. Garbage would pile-up, and old people would be executed for failing to turn off their directional signals.

We all have to live by certain rules, but sometimes these can become outdated or unfair. Sometimes in an adult forum these issues can be addressed and modified, or even eliminated. You will prepare yourself for this forum by drafting your arguments in a clear and mature manner to convince your audience that change is needed. This persuasive essay should be five paragraphs long, and your arguments should follow the order of your three-part thesis statement.

As an offshoot to the rule change, many students have persuaded to have a change at the high school, such as a rule or a course/ club/ sport offered. See the idea list linked above this prompt for more examples. The heading for Asn. #8 is the same as #7, except for the number at the top.

Heading needed for Writing Asn. #:

8Strong Introduction... 20%                8.                 Name
