Students should have a minumum of a C average to partisapate in extra activities

Your school is considering a proposal that would only allow students who have a “C” average or better to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports, band and clubs. Students who do not have an average grade of “C” or better would not be able to participate in these activities. Do you feel that students should be required to maintain a “C” average or better in order to participate in extracurricular activities?

Write a letter persuading your principal to accept your recommendation on whether or not students should be required to have a “C” average or better to participate in extracurricular activities.

As you write, remember your letter 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.
