Using the Prompts <strong>Ten</strong> Persuasive Writing Prompts To use one of the prompts with your students, add appropriate instructions for the writing task, following the pattern and language that is used on standardized tests in your state, perhaps something like the following: Write a paper (or letter) that explains your position on the given topic. Provide reasons that elaborate your ideas and support your position convincingly. Your answer should • include adequate support for your position • use a clear organizational structure, including transitions, an introduction and a conclusion • use effective and appropriate diction • express ideas smoothly and fluently Customizing the Questions You can modify the questions by changing the audience. These examples generally direct the student to write a letter to the editor of a local community newspaper or the school paper. You can modify the assignment by asking students to write a letter to the principal, to a teacher, to the school board, to the governor, to a state senator (or similar politician), to the city board, to their classmates, to the PTA president (or other officers), and so on. College students might write to students attending the high school they graduated from. 1. School Uniforms. There has been a problem in local schools with discipline and violence. Your school board has decided to institute a school uniform policy in order to cut down on these problems, based on the positive examples that they have seen at other schools. What is your position on this issue? Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper stating your position on this issue and supporting it with convincing reasons. 2. Locker Searches/Personal Searches. The principal at your school has instituted random locker and backpack/bookbag searches to check for guns, knives, and other weapons. Anyone caught with these weapons will be immediately suspended. The principal argues that the random searches will not only guard against illegal weapons at school but will also will help students feel safer. What is your position on this issue? Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper stating your position and supporting it with convincing reasons.
