29. Writing Situation:  Assume that you have a friend and classmate who always wants to be in your group or to work with you on a project, but then does little of the work. The person is nice enough and smart enough to do it, but somehow the results are always the same. You end up doing most of the work and that person gets the same grade as do you.

Consider how you could persuade your friend to do a fair share of the work.  Be sure to tell the person why you feel that getting the same grade with less work is unfair, what they should be doing to eliminate the problem, and how you are willing to work with them.   

Directions for Writing:  Write a persuasive essay to convince your friend to carry his or her share of the work.
