pre-writing

1. What is a problem/issue that our entire student body (our school, community, country, etc.) faces today?
Going to college

2. What is your view/position on the problem or situation?
Private Schools vs. Public schools
I prefer public

3. What would you like to achieve with your editorial? (What is the desired result?)
To show how much the price of education is going to cost now and in the future, and how you could save money by still getting an education but at a cheaper price.

4. How will you persuade your audience to adopt your viewpoint as theirs? List at least 4 persuasive points.
*Going to college earns you more money
*Graduates are graduating with the most debt ever now
*Still educated with less debt
*More money in the future to spend on experiences not debt

5. How will you motivate your readership to action in your conclusion?
I will motivate them by explaining what they could do with the cheaper education...still more money because you went to college, but less debt, out of debt faster.

6. How will your editorial serve a public purpose?
A lot of seniors are going to college right now. When they begin this fall, they need to realize what debt they are taking on, because this debt will hang over them for a long time and they need to realize the consequences.
