***Since we’re starting to work on persuasive speaking, your next several topics will require you to pick a side and to defend your position. I won’t be answering the questions, because I don’t want to influence your answers.***
A litter problem has developed on your school’s campus. Students are throwing trash on the ground, leaving empty soda cans and bottles outside on benches, and dropping napkins and other trash on the cafeteria floor rather than carrying them to the trash can. Your principal has asked students to take more care, but the litter problem persists. The principal has reacted by canceling all after-school activities until the problem is taken care of. What is your position on this issue?
Remember, you not only have to tell HOW you feel about the issue, but you also have to tell WHY.
