My students have been writing persuasive essays of late. The last persuasive essay I had assigned was about whether or not we should have to wear school uniforms. Many of the papers were actually quite good-I was pleased!
Nhu, my English Language Learner, wrote a paper with nice examples to back up her reasons, which was my goal of this paper. And her paper made me laugh! One of her reasons for not wanting to wear school uniforms was that students wouldn't be able to express their own individuality by wearing their favorite clothes. Her example cited that fact that she wouldn't be able to wear her "favorite t-shirt that says Don't judge a girl by her t-shirt (although I still don't know what that means...)."
Too funny!
