How can an intense focus on the topic improve my writing?

Yesterday, we discussed the following topic:

Convince your audience that private companies (Chick-fil-A) should provide student lunches instead of the county.

If you look closely at this topic then the following words should draw your attention.

Convince your audience that private companies (Chick-fil-A) should provide student lunches instead of the county.

  1. Convince, informs you that your paper should be persuasive.
  2. Audience, logically you should know that the only ones who can change the lunch situation are people like the superintendent.
  3. Private companies like Chick-fil-A are noted for exceptional and high quality food.
  4. School or county lunches are notoriously regarded as tasteless, poor in quality, and unappetizing.
  5. You should cover what you believe to be the purpose of lunch.
  6. Convince, relate everything positive back to the company you picked so solidify your persuasive argument.
These are essentially your purpose and main points. Your purpose in writing is to persuade. You are to make sure that your reader understands that the only path to lunch time excellence, is the path you create/discuss.

In my opinion there are four main issues that you need to address. They are the following:


  1. The Purpose of Lunch

    • Give the student a break and let him or her chill for a second.

  2. The Current State of Lunch

    • Explain the problems or deficits of the county lunch

  3. The Ideal State of Lunch

    • Explain the joys and perks of the proposed perfect private company (Chick-fil-A) lunch

  4. Recap how the private company's lunch is more than good enough, yet the county lunch is severely lacking.

    • Explain how the Chick-fil-A lunch fulfills the dream.
Due tomorrow is the rough draft and due Friday is the final draft.
