Persuasive Paragraph: "Should Advertising Be Allowed in Schools?"

Teachers should be allowed to give homework. Homework gives students additional practice of skills learned in class and allows those who work more slowly extra time to complete assignments without falling behind. It also provides time needed for longer, more challenging projects that require revision. Not only does homework help students master new skills, but it ensures all students have sufficient time for learning.

Persuasive Paragraph

Directions: Use the following graphic organizer to help you develop an effective and logical persuasive
paragraph. Make sure that you remember to add a topic sentence at the beginning of the paragraph to
introduce the topic, transition words between ideas (i.e. also, in addition, most importantly, furthermore, first,
second, finally), and a concluding sentence at the end to summarize the paragraph.

“Should advertising be allowed in schools?”


Should teachers be allowed to give homework? In a
well written paragraph, state and support your opinion.

Homework is an important part of the learning process and


teachers should be allowed to assign it. One reason is that homework
gives students additional practice of skills covered in class. High school
classes are too short to teach a new concept and practice it sufficiently
for students to master. Students need both guided practice in class and
independent practice at home. Another reason teachers should be
allowed to give homework is that students do not all work at the same
speed and giving students time at home to finish work keeps them falling
behind. For example, some students can write a brilliant persuasive
paragraph in ten or fifteen minutes, while others require an hour to
complete the task. The ability to assign homework gives the students
who work more slowly the time they need to complete the task without
boring the quick writers. Finally, teachers should be allowed to give
homework as it provides time to complete longer more challenging
assignments and projects. For example, the ideal essay writing process
needs a lot of time for students to think about their ideas, as well as a lot
of time to write, revise and proof read their writing. If homework was not
allowed, students would be constantly rushing through longer
assignments or teachers would have to assign only short, unoriginal
tasks. In conclusion, not only is homework essential to mastering new
skills, but it also guarantees students who require more time the time
they need and provides the needed time for longer more challenging
assignments.
Topic Sentence: Homework is an important part of the learning process and
teachers should be allowed to assign it.

Claim #1: One reason is that homework gives students additional practice of
skills covered in class.

Evidence/ Example #1: High school classes are too short to teach a new
concept and practice it sufficiently for students to master. Students need both
guided practice in class and independent practice at home.

Claim #2: Another reason teachers should be allowed to give homework is that
students do not all work at the same speed and giving students time at home to
finish work keeps them falling behind.

Evidence/Example #2: For example, some students can write a brilliant


persuasive paragraph in ten or fifteen minutes, while others require an hour to
complete the task. The ability to assign homework gives the students who work
more slowly the time they need to complete the task without boring the quick
writers.

Claim #3: Finally, teachers should be allowed to give homework as it provides


time to complete longer more challenging assignments and projects.

Evidence/Example #3: For example, the ideal essay writing process needs a lot

Concluding Statement: In conclusion, not only is homework essential to


mastering new skills, but it also guarantees students who require more time the
time they need and provides the needed time for longer more challenging
assignments.
