Over the next several weeks, students will be working on persuasive essays. Here's a link to a Persuasive Essay Packet we'll use to guide us through the process of writing a persuasive essay. When students have gone through the writing process and finalized their essays, they'll select the best essays to be published in the Capital City Weekly, so this is an opportunity to reach a broader audience and share ideas. Here are some links to essays published by former Dryden students: one about study halls, one about teaching gun safety in schools, one about building a second ice-hockey rink in the valley, and one about bringing laptops into the classroom.
I'm looking forward to the writing and discussions to come!
