A Longer Lunch?

April 9th, 2008

Imagine that as a result of complaints by some students that the school lunch break is too short, the student council has proposed a new schedule to the principal that would add 10 minutes to lunchtime. This proposal would also result in a later dismissal time at the end of the day. Imagine that the principal is asking students to write letters supporting or opposing this proposal. Think about the effect this would have on you and students in your school. What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages? What is your point of view? Write a letter to the principal in which you support or oppose the decision to add 10 minutes to the school day to lengthen the lunch break. Use examples and other evidence to support your decision.

REMEMBER TO USE YOUR PERSUASIVE FORMULA!!!!
