  1. OGT - Writing • State legislatures believe that students’ driving privileges should be directly linked to their performance and attendance in school. For example, students should be required to maintain a certain grade point average and attendance record in order to drive. Or, if students fail a class, they would not be allowed to drive until their grade was improved. State and defend your position on this issue to an audience of state legislators. Be sure to include specific reason to support your position.

  2. OGT - Writing • In his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, Martin Luther King, Jr. described his vision of equality in America, that his four children “will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Suppose you were asked to share with a group of students your vision for a better society. • Explain to these students what vision for society that you would like to see occur.

Give two questions or concerns that Kerry should anticipate from the children, and explain how she would effectively respond to each one.
