Response to The Right to Pray


Donna,
This is a very controversial topic you picked to write about. Religion is a very delicate and touchy subject, similar to politics. I thought you did a good job of opening your essay with a small story of how things used to be in a classroom. The suggestions I have after reading this paper are:
1       Who is your audience? Your paper seems to jump all over the place in this area. Try to focus on one particular group/individual with whom you are trying to persuade.
2       I see this topic has great meaning with you. Give more factual details on why religion should have a place in schools. Remember, when you are trying to be persuasive, you have to have a tight, strong foundation which is not rooted in personal beliefs.
3       Proof read! Proof read! Proof read! I cannot put enough emphasis on this. Proof read your final draft as many times as you possibly can before turning it in. Your paper was full of grammatical errors, misspellings, and omission of words. Read your paper to a friend or family member. This helps by having a second set of ears catch things which you may have missed. Also pay attention to your spacing in between sentences
     Over all you did a good job in defending your stance on this difficult topic. I would be happy to help you with any concerns you have.
