giving a precious fluid and half an hour of time.

lack of available blood (I would cite this with a
source).
3) P.S.- Blood donations are the answer!
4) V.- Imagine a world where blood banks were always
full and providing life.
5) C. to A.- You can go out now to (Name a location) and
donate your blood.
6) C to a: research and see exactly what the stem cell
enhancement act is and what you can do to help.
First Topic!
Stem Cell Research
a.t: does the study of science interest you?
e.n: the presidents bush and obama have
different opinions on the stem sell research
enhancement act.
p.s: we should try to keep this act going to help
keep the enhancement act alive.
v: will it make life better if we didn’t have this.
No one knows.
Second Topic
Legal Drinking Age
a.g:Is it fair that you have to be a certain age to drink.
e.n: it causes to many accidents and ends too many lives.
p.s:I think the law should be that alcohol is illegal all the
time. No one should be able to drink.
V: imagine how it would be if everyone died because
people were drinking and driving or how you would
feel if your child or loved one died because of a drunk
driver.
C to a: do not drink and drive. There are consequences.
Third Topic
Value of Education
a.g: do you attend school? If yes, do you like it?
e.n: every person should attend school sometime or
another.
p.s: if you want to get a good job, sometimes school
can help you get there.
V: if you never went to school, imagine how much
less you would know.
C to a: go to school and get a higher education.
Final Topic
YOUR topic that you are planning on using for your
Persuasive presentation.
a.g: do you text and drive?
e.n: it can cause wrecks because you were not
paying attention to the road.
p.s: I think that phones should not be allowed in a
vehicle unless it is used through a wireless phone
so you don’t have to look at it while driving.
V:think about if you were the victim, and someone
hit you head on because they were texting and
not paying attention.
C to a: do not text and drive
