Admission Essay 300-600 words
Your school district has recently decided to eliminate your favorite sport or club due to funding problems. Do you think that eliminating sports teams or clubs is a good way for school districts to help reduce spending? Why or why not?
Write an essay either to persuade the district to uphold its decision or to persuade the district to change its decision and reinstate the sport or club.
As you write, remember your essay will be scored based on how well you:
- develop a multi-paragraph response to the assigned topic that clearly communicates your thesis to the audience.
- support your thesis with meaningful reasons and sufficient details.
- address the readers’ concerns, opposing viewpoint, or counterarguments.
- organize your essay in a clear and logical manner, including an introduction, body, and conclusion.
- use well-structured sentences and language that are appropriate for your audience.
- edit your work to conform to the conventions of standard American English.
