Because of popular demand, as an option students may do up to two additional criterion assignments. Any assignment that gets a score of 4 to 5 out of 6 will get 5 points. Any assignment that gets 6 out of 6 will get 10 points. Total possible: 20 points.
Please contact Mr. Chappell once you've completed your writing practice if you want credit for you work.
Option O - The public library in your neighborhood has announced that it will no longer allow patrons under the age of sixteen to use its computers. The announcement argues that children under the age of sixteen rarely need computers for research and are more likely to damage or misuse the computers. Write a letter to the head of the library in which you argue against this new policy. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
The deadline for either is Thursday, 6/16/16. After that date there will be no extra credit offered.
Option P - It has just been discovered that Mars is a planet that can sustain life. The government is choosing people to go there and establish a colony. You want to be chosen to spend a year there as a pioneer. Write an essay persuading the government to choose you as one of the first inhabitants of Mars. Clearly describe how choosing you would benefit the project.
