Assignment: 
 Complete step 1 in writing a Persuasive Essay (see samples below): 
Step 1) Prewrite.
* Choose a topic. (Your topic should be one you feel strongly about, that has more than one 
 side, and that you can find evidence to support.) 
* Take a position. (Begin by taking a position, but know you can change it if your evidence 
changes your thinking.) 
 * Write a simple thesis statement. (This should include your topic, your stance, and a list of 
possible supporting points.) 
* Research the topic if necessary. (Take careful notes, gather quotes and details in support of
 your stance, and accurately record your sources.) 
* Make an Outline using the 1-2-3 Structure above (Sample on Page 3)
 Introduction - Include a  thesis statement - (your topic, your stance, and a brief summary of 
 your supporting points). 
- Supporting points - List main points for supporting paragraphs (Include
 corresponding arguments and counterarguments. NOTE: Present counter arguments first for a 
stronger essay). 
- Conclusion - Relate your conclusion to your thesis, and use it to tie your supporting points together. 
 
 
            SAMPLE PERSUASIVE ESSAY
SAMPLE: Prewrite
TOPIC: Space debris
POSITION: We need a definitive global policy on cleaning up existing space debris and preventing it in the future.
THESIS STATEMENT: Due to the increasing risk of space debris falling back to earth in inhabited areas or damaging orbiting spacecraft, we, as a global community, need to define and adopt a comprehensive policy that eliminates existing space debris and prevents it in the future.
RESEARCH: NASA and other government sources plus newspaper articles. Checked data and quotes, and noted sources to give proper credit.]
 
SAMPLE: Outline
THESIS STATEMENT: Due to the increasing risk of space debris falling back to earth in inhabited areas or damaging orbiting spacecraft, we, as a global community, need to define and adopt a comprehensive policy that eliminates existing space debris and prevents it in the future.
LIST OF POINTS, COUNTERARGUMENTS, AND ARGUMENTS - by paragraph
1) POINT: Space debris threatens humans on earth, Space Station
    COUNTER: Chance is very small: Very few people have been hit
    ARGUMENT: Recent threats to Space Station required intervention
2) POINT: Space debris threatens our communications satellites
    COUNTER: There is very little damage percentage-wise; we can fly satellites to avoid debris
    ARGUMENT: Problem going to get worse; soon can't avoid collisions
3) POINT: Tracking space debris costs a huge amount of time and money, we need a plan to prevent debris in the first place
    COUNTER: Making plan will cost a lot of time and money
    ARGUMENT: Plan will cost less than inevitable damage.
CONCLUSION: Although the chance of humans being hit or satellites being damaged by space debris is small at this time, and the cost of preventing debris would be substantial, the space debris problem is only going to grow. Space debris will become a material threat at some point in the not-too-distant future. The best solution is to take it on now with a global plan.

Peer pressure is a natural thing that we all encounter at least once in our lives, same to greater extent than others. However, we can still minimize this problem.
 
"Basically, I believe the struggle to prevent peer pressure is a noble one, but must be affected at the root," said Summer. "Equipping young children with the capacity to act as an individual - allowing them the space and autonomy to make mistakes and learn from them, learning to trust themselves rather than solely an authority figure - is necessary to prevent them from succumbing to peer pressure in the future, when the stakes are much higher."
 
Said Roman: "My perspective on peer pressure is that it exists and will continue no matter what we do, Peer pressure in social situations manifests in bullying and harassment many people face. However, we can fix it through projects and campaigns as well as a change in the social mindset."
 
For Jason, "Peer pressure is definitely still a major problem, but I don't think, it's a problem we can really avoid. Each generation of teens go through it at some point, and even adults and kids may fall victim to peer pressure in their lives as well. And as with any social issue, the problem doesn't affect all teens across the board. Everyone reacts differently to peer pressure, it's just a part of life and the magic of individuality."
 
Brooke called peer pressure "suffocating."
 
"It has impacted every generation, making the issue of it that much more urgent and why conversation and education around it needs to be promoted," she said. "No person or teen should forget who they are or diverge to irresponsible decisions under the dictation of peer pressure. Peer Pressure should not define people but instead be a mere obstacle to overcome."
 
Annika called peer pressure a "moment of reckoning" for teens.
 
"I think that peer pressure is one of the true conflicts that younger people face as they grow," she said. "Peer pressure makes a teenager stuck in the moment, reeling with their own perspectives as well as the opinions of everyone around them."
 
I felt compelled to write about peer pressure even though I have never experienced it, because I have witnessed countless teens from my school fall into its trap time and time again. It really upsets me, as a 16-year-old high school student, that it creates an endless cycle of getting yourself involved in situations that are extremely uncomfortable.
 
 
It's appalling to see what certain people do for attention or to maintain their social status. They are willing to sacrifice sa much and go to great lengths despite the consequences.
 
I hope this encourages you, no matter how old you are, to recognize the specific outcomes and long-lasting effects peer pressure has on people. Whether you're a victim of it or have simply witnessed it, please be aware of the long-term damage it is causing to our current generation and the ones that follow.
 
If you're ever thinking about doing something such as drinking or trying drugs, just remember how little it benefits you and that you shouldn't do it to "look cool."
