Dear Writer,
please write an explanatory essay.
You have read two texts about youth activism.
These texts include:
● “Student Activism in School Getting Your Voice Heard”by Eddie Thomspon
● “Why We’re Running for Office” by Rebecca Zissou
Think about the purpose of each text and consider how the purposes are similar and different.
Write an essay analyzing each author’s purpose and what information the authors include to convey those purposes. Remember to use evidence from both passages to support your response.
