PL HELP Think of something we could do to affect a change in racism, and write a persuasive essay. Be as specific as possible. Your paper needs to be submitted here. It should be between 15 and 25 lines long. Do not change the font size; leave it like this. Be sure to have a thesis; be sure to state your idea clearly in the first paragraph.

Please pretend this is a STAAR test, and try to write it in one sitting. It is not supposed to be a perfect, final draft essay. I’d like it turned in to the HUB by Tuesday morning, 3/30, at 8am.

Reminders:

Persuasive essays try to touch the audience with four techniques. Make your reader respond by using these tricks.

Pathos- emotion

Ethos- fairness and appeal to authority

Logos- logic

Kairos- a sense of urgency
