Unit 2 Assignment: Persuasive Essay Follow the assignment instructions and review the rubric: Now that you have analyzed the Declaration of Independence, Stanton’s Declaration of Sentiments, and King’s "Letter From A Birmingham Jail," you will think of a cause you want to make a statement about and write your own "declaration." As you plan, think about… What are your grievances? What in your life do you believe is so deeply unfair that it demands remedy? Focus on the personal. You may choose serious topics (gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, social media, education costs) or less serious topics (parental rules, homework, dress codes). Avoid larger, controversial issues like guns, healthcare, etc. Do your grievances fall into categories, or do they constitute many separate issues? For the preamble, what parts of the documents you studied, if any, do you want to draw on? All of the documents are a call to action: Jefferson’s to a military revolution for independence; Stanton to widespread activism; King’s to nonviolent protest. What will your call to action be? Requirements: . Begin with a preamble (introduction) where you explain why you are writing your declaration, culminating in a clearly stated claim of policy. . One or more body paragraphs detailing your grievances. . Must include specific mention of your audience: to whom are you addressing your complaints? . A paragraph explaining any attempts you have already made to try and address these grievances. . A final paragraph where you declare your "independence"-that is, what you want to change as a result of your writing this document. . Carefully chosen diction throughout . A minimum of three allusions that serve to emphasize your message (these could be to a religion, to a film, to a song, to a TV show..) Please carefully read the rubric before you begin to write. Subr
