    ASSIGNMENT III: PERSUASIVE WRITING IN CONTEXT

    Suggested time: 40 to 50 minutes

    Read the situation described below and use it to complete the assignment that follows.

    The Situation

    The Prosper School Council is considering a proposal that would require all students to
    bring their own digital device (such as a notebook, tablet, or smartphone) to school in
    order to participate in digitally enhanced learning. Supporters of the Bring Your Own
    Device (BYOD) proposal believe that education is becoming more dependent on digital
    devices and that such technology is required by students in order to be competitive in
    academic environments. Those opposed believe that academic success is not dependent
    on the type of technology used and that such devices have the potential to adversely affect
    the educational environment.

    In deciding whether to accept or reject the proposal, the Prosper School Council has
    invited concerned individuals to make their views known. You are Reggie Rivers, a
    recent graduate of Prosper High School. You have considered information and opinions
    from a variety of sources (see pages 14 and 15). After considering the advantages and
    disadvantages of the proposal, you have reached a decision. You now need to write a
    persuasive speech or letter that clearly develops your position.

    The Assignment

    Write a speech or letter that will persuade the Prosper


    School Council to either ACCEPT or REJECT the Bring
    Your Own Device proposal.

    In preparing your persuasive speech or letter, BE SURE TO

    • study the information on the following pages


    • consider your purpose and audience
    • present a clear argument that explains the reasons behind your decision
    • use an appropriate tone

    Remember that you must clearly and directly choose either to accept or to reject the
    proposal.
