Persuasive Essay - English

The Spartan students are working on their Dumb Law essay in English class.

The assignment is to take one of the laws that was provided and explain why this is a great law that should definitely be enforced!

A few examples of laws:
  • You may not sell your eye in the state of Texas
  • It is illegal to sell your children in Florida
  • In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church
  • In Nevada, it is illegal to drive a camel on the highway
Students will spend the next few weeks utilizing the entire writing process as they write five paragraph essays defending the law he/she chose.

These should be great essays, and I look forward to reading the end product!
