Write a Persuasive Essay.

From your course textbook, write a persuasive essay based on the Writing for Life assignment at the bottom of page 202 (Scenario 1). For this essay, you are to choose a problem at your school (Florida National University) that you feel needs to be addressed (for example, parking). Within your essay, you are to provide two sources within your work that supports your stance on the problem you have identified.  

You must choose the essay option I have provided for this assignment . If you submit an essay that does not respond to one of the prompts, your essay will not be accepted as an appropriate response to this writing assignment; instead, you will be asked to write another essay that does respond to the prompt you were assigned. 

Please note: The required word length for the final draft of this essay is 500-750 words.  

Research Requirement :  As you read the chapter readings, note how the authors use researched material to support their arguments.  To successfully complete your persuasive essay assignment, you must incorporate at least two sources (either credible online sources or library resources) within your work to support and advance your claims . DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA.  Any Persuasive Essay Final Draft that does not incorporate research from at least two "outside" sources (sources other than your course textbook) will receive a failing grade . Use the knowledge you gained from completing last week's research and citation exercises to help you develop your essay. 

Be sure to reference your Lectures - Week Sixfolder for helpful information on writing argumentation.
