MV Writing for Publication: OTS Editorial

Below you will find links to three different news stories. Choose one to respond to with an editorial. Remember to balance fact and opinion, and use your own wittiness to keep it casual.

Google CEO urges grads: 'Turn off your computer'

College Board to debut an 8th grade PSAT exam

If you already chose one of these stories for your news-related editorial, please select a different one for your OTS editorial.

I recommend that you use Google Docs as your word processor, though Open Office will also work.

Persuasive Strategies

In preparation for your editorial, you will need to familiarize yourself with several persuasive strategies. These are concrete strategies that can be developed and used multiple times throughout an editorial.

Directions: Read the post about each strategy, including the example. Then come up with a sample argument and, using your own sample argument, comment on each post writing your own example in the comment. Use the same argument throughout.

Begin at the oldest post, "Explain the issue," and work toward the top.

When you finish, you may go into your Google Docs and begin working on your school-related editorial, the first draft of which is due Thursday.
