WNB Entry #6 College Grads President Barack Obama says in his speech “America’s Schoolchildren” that if you quit school, you are quitting your country. Write an argumentative essay supporting or refuting the claim that actively receiving an education is a patriotic duty. Be sure to: • Orient the reader and set out the problem (background). • Develop a clear claim (thesis) that chooses one side of the argument. • Sequence relevant evidence from your experiences or what you have read to support the claim, using ethos and logos to engage the reader. • Address the opposing view and refute it. • Use transitions and parallel structure for coherence. • Include at least 5 vocabulary words from any lesson, and underline them.
