Writing Tips For High School Students: Popular Persuasive Essay Topics To Use


Believe it or not, writing is something that you will need in the future.  Being a well-versed writer can actually help you get a job or get you into college after high school.  In a recent study in 2007, it said that only one third of high school students in grade twelve were at or slight above a proficient level as writers, while only one percent were advanced.  These are very low numbers considering the things that we have to write in school and in our everyday lives.

If you think about it, between texting, email, instant messaging, and so on.  The average student probably spends most of the day writing but our students are still below average.  Is it because of short handwriting on messages and emails or are our teachers not teaching it correctly.  I think it is because most students don’t apply themselves to writing.  They don’t know how to properly write or edit their work.  I’m sure they learned all they need to know but just don’t apply it.

One of the most popular kinds of essays that high school students will write at least a few times in their high school career is a persuasive essay.  A persuasive essay is an essay where you will argue for or against your topic.  You will have to pick a side and then find all the information you can to support you side of the argument.
