Today we turned in our Voice Investigation & Revision sheets! So get those in!
We started class with our punctual piece by responding to the following question:
Should the driving age be raised to 18 or should it stay at age 16? Why? (Give at least 5 specific reasons to support your opinion.)
We spent the rest of the class writing the essay and we turned it in at the end of the class.
Here was the prompt: In Europe the driving age is 18 because those governments feel that teens are not mature enough to handle the responsibility and the rules of driving in order to avoid accidents. In most states in America the driving age is still 16. Some people would like to raise the driving age to 18. What do you think? Should the driving age be raised to 18 or should it stay at age 16? Write an essay (at least 5 paragraphs) to convince the state legislature of your opinion.
If you finished writing the essay, then you had time to catch up on the writing activities we have done on Ideas, Organization, and Voice. Or you could do a Writer's Notebook.
For Friday:
1. Bring your book!
2. Writer's Notebook #4
3. Get caught up on missing assignments!
