Students will choose from two prompts: one addressing bullying prevention strategies and one advocating for the use of cell phones in the classroom. They will develop their arguments over two days, creating structured essays that begin with an introduction, include supporting details, and conclude with a strong closing statement. Emphasis is placed on clarity, persuasiveness, and proper writing conventions.
