kelley — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 12:33:26 +0000

So that you will have enough time for your exam, you are going to do your persuasive letter at home, type it, and upload it to www.turnitin.com by Thursday night at 11:59 pm.

Directions: Using the two articles we have read in class, write a persuasive letter to the editor that either supports the use of sound and scents to promote spending or criticizes/condemns the use of sound and scents to promote spending.

Your letter needs to include:
A contentious thesis, italicized
Body paragraphs that develop your thesis
Supporting information ICEd (direct quotations and paraphrased information)
A conclusion.

You may use I, me, or my — no YOUS is good use.
