19. Writing Situation:
Current research suggests
that because teenagers have different sleep
patterns, they would benefit from beginning
the school day at a later time. Suppose your
Board of Education has proposed that all
high school schedules begin at 9:30 a.m. and
end at 4:30 p.m.
Do you agree or disagree that
this later schedule would be beneficial?
Directions for Writing:
Now write an essay in which
you persuade the Board of Education to agree
with your opinion. Support your position
with reasons and examples.
