The prompt is, that you could either extend the current school day by 1 hour and 45 minutes and have no h.w on weekends or weekdays, or that we would have regular school days with h.w on the weekdays and weekends. I agree that we should extend the length of the day, but I can't think of 3 main topics on why extending the day would be a good idea, I mean, there are easy and common topics like finance and education, but what are some more complex and difficult topics to write about. Remember I need 3, but if you could just give me 1 that'd be great! Thanks!Question #11:How would you rate my essay. 10 points for answering!?I'm in eighth grade and I am taking a high school language arts class. We had to do a quick writing sample of a persuasive essay to hand into the teacher. The teacher is really cool and just wants a little base that will only count as a homework grade. He also lets us re-write it as many times as we want to get a better grade. However, I just want to see what kind of first impression I am going to make so I want you guys to just check out this essay and tell me what you think. The prompt that we wrote it on is that a superintendent of a school district wanted to make students more prepared for a test (the GEPA) so he added Saturday sessions from 8am-10am. Write a letter to him to tell why you are for or against this decision. So heres my letter:Your recent decision to hold mandatory Saturday classes to better prepare students for the GEPA test is wrong. While it may seem like mindless decision, there are several extreme flaws when you scratch the surface. Before we all jump to conclusions and send out memos I ask you to seriously reevaluate your solution for these lacking test results. Now, with all due respect, I will present reasons why these Saturday classes will do more harm than good. First off, picture this scenario in your mind for a moment. You are an eighth grade student that just finished a rough school week. Do you think that you would want to attend some course early Saturday morning? And as a result of this underlying resentment, the students are flat out going to get nothing out of these classes. They are going to be moaning and groaning the whole entire session without learning a thing. These classes will be about as much use a single little swimmy when you are drowning in the ocean. The students will not benefit from them in the least bit. Furthermore, I can assure that these instruction periods are not going to be free. Because my mother is a teacher, I know for a fact that a teacher is not going to wake up early on a Saturday morning and teach a bunch of miserable kids out of the goodness of their heart. And because of this, these instruction periods are going to be a big hit money wise on the school district. With all these troubled school districts we hear about on the news and elsewhere, we cannot just throw money with our eyes closed at a program that is setting itself up to fail. That would not be smart at all. Finally, these instruction periods will not make a world of difference. A teacher once told me this, “A student can set themselves up to fail as early as the first day of school”. So I ask of you, why would be waste time of these periods of instruction when students seal their own fate on these tests? It would be totally irrational to say that these classes will make or break the students on the GEPA. What will make or break them is their regular daily instruction, the meat and potatoes if you will. So why on earth should we assume that our meat and potatoes won’t do the job? The plain hard facts are that these classes on Saturdays won’t really make a difference. In conclusion, these Saturday sessions should not happen. I can tell you that the cons certainly outweigh the pros in this situation. They cannot and will not be of much good to the student body whatsoever. They will merely be a single little swimmy in a rough, rough ocean. Sincerely, A concerned student Question #12:Persuasive essay. New high school elective courses.?Writing prompt: Write a letter to your principal explaining to him why new elective courses should be offered, List the suggested courses, and give supporting details.Ok i need ideas, because i have 3 courses in mind that arent given at my school : Drivers Education, Culinary Arts, and Life planning.

Question #13:What is the prompt for the UCAS personal statement for applying as an undergraduate to a British university?I'm an American and my top university choices are in the United Kingdom. I've already done the research and know what I need to do to apply (advanced academics, mainly), but I'm confused about the personal statement. I know that we're writing to the department we're applying into, explaining why we deserve a spot in that program, but what else are we supposed to include? In the USA we're given a few fairly broad essay topics (like "Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence." from the Common Application) and we use that topic to write an essay that demonstrates who we are and why we are unique to the admissions counselor. It's more creative writing than a persuasive essay. For the UCAS form do you literally just say something along the lines of, "I deserve to study ___________ in ___________ program because of _____________."? (obviously more well-written, but you get the point). I've read the guidelines on the UCAS website but I still just don't... get it. Also I haven't found any webpage that has the official essay prompt. Where is it located?Question #14:What type of essay is expected for the GED test?Persuasive? Descriptive? Narrative? Do they provide a writing prompt? What type of time frame are you given? Or is it all up to you? (except the time, of course :)Please answer, I'll be choosing a winner before Saturday night.

Question #18:Help writing persuasive memo?You are Dave Jones, a claims adjuster for Statewide Insurance. Your job requires you to investigate automobile accident claims, negotiate settlements, and authorize payments. Customers are already distressed, of course, over their accidents. The last thing they need is a delay in settling their insurance claims and getting their vehicles repaired.Because you travel the entire eastern half of your state to physically examine the damaged vehicles and talk with those involved, you constantly have to search maps and the Internet for directions to many out-of-the-way places. It occurs to you that you could be more productive and provide better customer service if you had an onboard automotive navigation system that relies on the federally operated Global Positioning System (GPS). The device in which you are interested is the “Street Pilot,” which boasts a large color display as well as voice prompts (such as “turn right at next intersection”) and automatic routing capability. It is portable, so you can use it on any vehicle – which is particularly useful given that you sometimes have to fly to your destination and then rent an automobile. The cost is a one-time fee of $699, but there is no monthly access charge. Send a memo to your boss, Lisette Washington, Vice President of Operations, trying to sell her on the idea. * Don't write it for me just help me get started. give me some ideas on how dave jones shold convince his boss etc.* Question #19:What are some major issues that are facing our environment or have impacted it in the past?I have to write an essay about an issue that is affecting the environment. I'm not asking y'all to do the assignment for me, I'm just asking for some topics and brief summaries because I have NO idea what to write about and there are probably so many environmental issues that I don't even know about. Anyway, here's the prompt:"You are a Public Relations Adviser for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) who is responsible the public on environmental issues. Write a persuasive essay by stating the problem and then supporting the statement. By the way, anything but Global Warming, because it's such a controversial topic and the teacher doesn't believe in it xD Those would make a pretty solid paper! Anyone else?
