___/25 Persuasive Essay Topics for English 10
Overview:
For our next writing assignment, you will write a paper to persuade the readers to agree with your opinion on an issue. You may write about any topic related to
the list on the back of this paper. A maximum of two students may write about the same topic, but each one must be in a different class and must take a different
position. For example, one student could be in favor of violence in sports, and another could write a paper against violence in sports. Be prepared to use a
variety of reasons and evidence to support your opinion statement.
Directions:
List at least five possible topics for your essay. We will select specific topics tomorrow. Priority will be given to students to thoroughly and accurately complete
this chart.
