School and You Assignment

School and You: Persuasive Writing

The purpose of this assignment is for you to think about school and your schooling so far. What are you thinking about school after what we've read, viewed, and listened to? What are you thinking about school after researching the best public high schools in the United States? Is school equal for everyone, everywhere? What do YOU expect out of school?

The goal of this assignment is for you to create your perfect school. What would you study? What books would you read? What would the classrooms look like? What would the school look like? How would the day be set up?

Don't be afraid to go a little crazy on this assignment. There is one catch. You will turn your ideas into a persuasive letter to the building principal, the school superintendent, and the school board. Convince us.
