20 Gripes

Any good proposal solves a problem.  This assignment started with this problem (one of the 20 gripes).
In this discussion, I'd like you to develop a picture of the problem-- this could be the worse-case scenario.  How bad could it be?  Show the audience.  Use descriptive language to show a vignette or scene.
Consider things that irritate you-- problems in your life that could be solved by an action

      Lifting the ban of books in public school libraries could not only avoid possible court cases regarding infringement of the First Amendment, but it could also expand the student's opinion on race, history, and worldly culture, resulting in more knowledge and less discrimination.

      Problem: Lack of interest for what they learn within American high school students
      Solution: Have more tactile learning styles for Biology classes so students understand it better rather than memorizing it.
      Counter Argument: It will take a lot of time to organize for the teachers; what if students don't like it.
      Audience: Principal/Science Department head.

      The principal or possibly superintendent should increase funding in school lunches so that schools serve better food so people eat it more often and more money can circulate back into the school.

      1. The district should stop giving students standardized testing like CSAP especially elementary students. If they stop, it would not categorize students and have less stress for them.

      DSST STP. HS should reinforce some classes that will have benefits to our future. The audience of this is the director and the dean of both prep- academy and senior-academy. A counter argument is that most of these classes are requirement to graduate.

      (16)- Early school start times. I feel like school should start later in the morning, even if it is 30 minutes later. 30 minutes can make a big difference in sleep and early morning routines. The audience would be the school principle of DMLK.

Writer's Reflection

Summer 2017 English 1010 Short Essay #4 In a page of text, reflect on yourself as a writer.  You should develop a reflective claim (a point) and support it. Start by looking over the graded copies of all the major essays. Try remembering your first memory of writing.  How do you feel about writing?  What writing are you most comfortable with? What is most difficult?  What are your strengths in writing? Weaknesses? How has your writing changed as a result of your work in this course?  What do you still have to work on in your writing? Use these observations as support for your claim! What point can you argue about your writing—and how can you use these observations as evidence or support for this claim. This should be in MLA format (think of a good title), be around 250 words (a whole page of text).
