Possible persuasive writing assessment prompts that I could use with my students?

We Answered:

How about:
School uniforms-why or why not
year round school or today's school calendar
should soda be allowed in school
should school buses have seat belts
should parents help with homework
should the school day be shorter/longer
persuade your parents to increase your allowance
would an all boy or all girl class be a good thing

Arthur Said:

what are some good writing prompts for me?

We Answered:

Oh gosh no! No school uniforms.

Make a list of some things you enjoy. Music, maybe. Maybe you can write about how there needs to be better copyright infringement laws to protect artists from their songs being downloaded for free (shh I do it, too)

Maybe censorship of songs. Wow I sound old, don't I?

Good luck.

Why should the federal government provide funding for homeless shelters?

We Answered:

I know it doesn't sound "right," but the economy of a town can suffer greatly if there are too many "undesirables" walking around. People will not want to work, vacation, visit, etc. a town that is full of homeless people. They will take their money elsewhere.

Many homeless are mentally ill, and if they can get the treatment they need, they may live a productive life as a contributing citizen and decrease the homeless population.
