Possible+Topics

=Possible Topics=

Here is where you can find a list of possible topics you can pick to write your paper. I am including as many topics as I possibly can so you have a lot of topics to choose from. You need to read through the topics listed under your time period and pick one. Once you do that, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page where I have made a discussion area for you to post what war your topic is from and what your topic is. **You need to do this quickly because only one person can pick each topic.** Once someone has picked a topic, then no one else can pick it. If two people pick the same topic, whoever submitted their topic first gets it.

What is a Persuasive Essay?
This is a paper where the writer writes their paper with an argument in mind to convince the reader of their viewpoint. Think of it like a debate. You have two sides to the argument: pro and con--the writer(s). They write out their arguments so they can sway the judges--the reader--that they are right. You are doing that with this paper. You are to take the topic you pick and write your paper in such as way that you are swaying your reader to your point of view.
