Answer 1

@FibonacciChick666

Answer 2

I need a little more information on it

Answer 3

Im confused on what to write about. I was going to write about Should students get paid for getting good grades. Do you think thats a good argument

Answer 4

well,are you passionate about it?

Answer 5

I would be for it because it would keep children in school I believe

Answer 6

So, for example, you know how I am passionate about common core being a disgrace and I can never stop talking about it? That is a great topic for me because I can't stop talking about it

Answer 7

so if you cannot think of anything you want to happen more than getting paid based off of grades, use that, but i think you would be more passionate about a change in the special ed system that actually supports the student

Answer 8

Ok so, I believe if students got paid for getting good grades the drop out rate would be lower and children would be more encouraged to do good

Answer 9

so your argument is students should get paid for good grades. then, your reasons are drop out rate and encouragement

Answer 10

Ok if I write about a change in the special ed system can u help me step by step

Answer 11

You need a third reason, preferably one that is backed by science of some sort

Answer 12

Ok writing about special ed how would I start it?

Answer 13

uhm, step by step, not really my specialty, but what I can do is show you a four square system to map out your writing

Answer 14

well, first you need an argument.

Answer 15

what are you trying to persuade your reader of?

Answer 16

Really I dont know based on special ed

Answer 17

so, come up with something YOU are passionate about.

Answer 18

Something that you think needs to change.

Answer 19

What is important to YOU?

Answer 20

IM sooo confused will try another day isn't due for 3 weeks

Answer 21

I just wanted to get a start on it

Answer 22

Well, think about something you want to change. Maybe a policy or something. Like I said, for me it is common core, or who is allowed to be secretary of education

Answer 23

or, why if you are getting surgery, you shouldn't need 6 months of counseling

Answer 24

What about drinking and driving

Answer 25

anything you are passionate about is usually a good choice, because then you don't run out of material

Answer 26

if you are passionate about tit

Answer 27

What do you mean by that. My mom had brain surgery never had to go to counseling

Answer 28

People should not be allowed to drive at all when they have drunk any ofmount of alcohol

Answer 29

what do u mean about counseling and surgery?

Answer 30

(different type) but that would be something that makes me mad that I could rant about

Answer 31

and if you are passionate about drinking and driving, then you should be able to come up with 3 reasons as to why it is detrimental to do so

Answer 32

Well drinking and driving, texting while driving, Police's violent acts

Answer 33

here is a very good instructional essay on this http://web.calstatela.edu/faculty/cendy/writing_tips.pdf

Answer 34

1)Alot of innocent deaths 2)affects thinking,mood and movement,3) irractic,violent or emotional behavior

Answer 35

ok, well what you have to do is state your claim, then support it. For me, If I did Common Core should be removed from use as my argument/thesis, then my supports would be It is not internationally benchmarked, and actually, it puts US students behind. It does not support the psychological development of students due to material outside their proximal zone of development. It Does not prepare students for future success in Mathematics.

Answer 36

sure, those work

Answer 37

use statistics to back it up, and make sure you cite them

Answer 38

that would be a pretty easy topic to find statistics on

Answer 39

My Mothers Father was arguing with my Grandma wanted to take my mom with him my grandma wouldn't let hm he left began drinking alcohol while driving and mad and picked up hios 2 sisters and brother was still drinking and ended going off a side rail/cliff killed himself and his siblings. My Mother was only 5 years old at the time. This is why I don't like the idea of people drinking and driving as my mother has been affected by not having her Father all these years

Answer 40

ok, and that is a great way to explain the implications

Answer 41

clearly, you are passionate about it, now, write something that will stop people who drink and drive from doing it. Write something tat will make them think twice

Answer 42

I know 1) there should be no limit on alcohol but don't know how tyo word that and 2) get caught drinking and driving should loose your license for good the first time.it should not be tolerated

Answer 43

@FibonacciChick666

Answer 44

You ar not coming up with punishments, you are just arguing why they shouldn't drink and drive

Answer 45

yes i did i just dont know the wording i should use i have a whole lot to say about that as society makes alcohol way less whatever to drugs it affects people the same as drugs impairs alot of stuff

Answer 46

loose their license on first offense do prison time as its some type of attempted murder drinking while driving

Answer 47

its impairs a person mentally and physically

Answer 48

first, plop everything you have to say down, then organize it

Answer 49

maybe also check out drinking laws in europe as their rates of drunk driving are massively lower than here

Answer 50

Answer 51

and read that link, it goes through a writing process that works for some people. I could probably qualify as having a writing disability for starting an essay(no joke, but was never tested. My parents just considered it laziness) I am really not the person to ask about this from here. Sorry

Answer 52

thank u

Answer 53
