Dear Mrs. Knighten-Miller:

The controversial topic that I chose was should students wear school uniforms. The two aspects I
chose are the clothes that students wear can be distracting, and my strongest point is that they can
be bullied for not having the right clothing. What drew me to choose this topic is because I have
some knowledge about both sides of the topic.

What I plan to prove, that students should wear school uniforms even in public schools. I plan to
prove it with my own knowledge and the information that I will acquire from my research. Some
people believe school uniforms is an important subject because students will not be able to
express themselves. However, many parents and teachers would prefer that students wear school
uniforms because the clothes that students wear can be distracting and they can get bullied for
not having the right clothing.

My understanding of plagiarism and/or misrepresentation is to write down somebody elses

words and not give them credit. I understand that Sierra Vista High School holds a standard of
academic honesty that I will abide by. I will submit my research paper to www.turnitin.com
which checks for plagiarism. I also understand that if I were to copy or plagiarize my research
paper, I will not be given credit and this may result in a disciplinary action and possible failure of
the first semester of junior English.

Sincerely,
Brandon Urbina
