2013 Title IX Argumentative Essay
As you can see, we are back in the land of Title IX 8th graders! Although I have left the posts from previous years about this subject visible, your assignment is different. You will not be writing a letter to the principal to persuade, but a formal essay that argues the worthiness of Title IX legislation.
You need to start here at the Title IX info website, and choose from the 10 key areas of Title IX which area(s) you are going to focus on in your essay. Appropriate areas are: SPORTS/ATHLETICS, EDUCATION (access to higher education, career education, learning environment, standardized testing, math and science), JOBS/EMPLOYMENT (employment, math and science, sexual harassment, career education), OR PREGNANT/PARENTING STUDENTS. Then, follow the instructions on the Computer Lab Research Sheet to take notes during class.
