Today, we started working on the Group Persuasive Essay.  The first step is to respond briefly to six prompts that address different topics in education.  The six prompts are here.  After writing in response to these prompts, choose one topic that you would like to do further thinking, research, and writing on.  For each topic, I have a packet of reading for you to use in writing your group essay.  The packets are linked here:
Topic #1 Year-round Schooling
Topic #2: SAT Tests
Topic #3: NCAA Athletes Being Paid
Topic #4 Grammar
Topic #5 Single-sex education
Topic #6 Should Everyone go to College?

As you read and mark/highlight/take notes on your packet, you should complete the worksheet that is linked here: Education Worksheet.

Your completed reading and worksheet is due in class on Tuesday, January, 29.
